 Russound Smart Media Consoles
Life|ware is home control software that seamlessly merges the best of digital entertainment with simple, intuitive whole-house control. Life|ware expands the power and flexibility of the Windows Media Center platform to manage live television, music, digital photos and videos to lighting, security, HVAC, and multiroom audio distribution. The Life|ware software provides custom installers a simple turnkey solution for enabling advanced home automation and integration systems with Russound’s Smart Media Consoles, allowing faster installs and less programming for integrators.
“This partnership with Russound is part of Life|ware’s best-of-business mentality to bring smart solutions to dealers in the custom space,” said Steve Cashman, Life|ware’s Vice President of Sales. “We have seen more and more custom dealers specifying jobs with the Windows Media Center platform. By providing them with a selection of Smart Media Consoles and Life|ware software we are simplifying the installation process and increasing their job profitability with one simple partnership.”
“Without a doubt, Life|ware is the clear-cut champion when it comes to simplifying home automation functions in the Media Center platform, so it’s only natural for the category leader in multiroom audio to join forces with the brand leader in home automation software,” said Kussard. “For Russound, this means we will enjoy a jumpstart in the Media Center Systems integration space while our installers and integrators will benefit from being able to offer Russound Smart Media Consoles that are pre-loaded with Life|ware, so all they have to do is ‘turn the key’ to get it up and running.”
