LED-7B (7 Button Keypad)

The LED-7B is a simple, easy-to-use keypad with 7 soft buttons that can be individually programmed (with the included Event Manager software) to perform any function controlled by Stargate or CommStar (lighting, heating/cooling, security, home theater, audio/video, pool/spa, irrigation, etc.). A removable label can be printed on paper with any printer then inserted into the keypad's label window to clearly identify each button.

A Red LED, located to the left of each button, can be programmed to turn off, turn on steady or blink based on any condition(s) specified in the Event Manager schedule. For example, Button #1 could be programmed to trigger the "Away" macro which turns off all the lights, sets back the thermostat and arms the alarm panel. LED #1 could blink as Stargate or CommStar executes the macro then turn on steady when the macro has completed to indicate "Away" mode is in effect.

Up to 16 LED-7B Keypads can be connected in a "daisy-chain" to Stargate's or CommStar's RS-485 port using two twisted pairs of category-5 cable (one pair for communication and the other for 12vdc power). The LED-7B fits into a standard single-gang box (not included).

Color Touchscreens

The TSCS7 and TSCS12 are color touchscreens that have Windows XP preinstalled, and have built-in wireless network cards.  They communicate with the CommStar or Stargate controllers via your Wi-Fi data network.  The CommStar or Stargate controllers must have a Web Xpander installed.  Please contact us for more detailed specifications on our touchscreens.

The touchscreens can be placed anywhere in your home where a Wi-Fi signal can be received.  No wires are necessary where you locate the touchscreens with the exception of power (unless you run the touchscreen on its internal batteries).

RCI Automation can create customized screens for your home.  The control buttons are normally overlaid on an image of a room in your home, or on an image of the exterior of your home.  Just press the buttons on the screen for control.  The images at the top of this page show the exterior front of a home.  See other exmaples below:
