“ELAN’s new VIA!4.0 features a 4-inch color LCD touch screen that delivers quality VIA! performance in a small, in-wall package format at an affordable price point. This model provides customers the opportunity to affordably step up from keypads and install easy-to-use graphic controls in virtually every room throughout the house. Like with the original, award-winning VIA!6.4, customers will be able to view live video sources and take full control of whole-house A/V systems, lighting, security, temperature and more,” said Mr. Farinelli.

Added Paul Starkey, ELAN’s Executive Vice President of Sales and Marketing, “The release of the VIA!4.0 presents our Dealers with a significant new opportunity to service their clients further by offering an ELAN control screen that hits a price point between our keypads and the VIA!6.4-inch version. We’re ideally poised to deliver VIA!4.0 expeditiously and in a familiar, user-friendly manner for our Dealers since it utilizes our existing VIA!TOOLS setup software. VIA!4.0 completes the spectrum of esthetically pleasing ELAN control products for our Dealers to sell, and will certainly prove to be a strong contributing force to their bottom lines.”

The VIA!4.0 offers a multitude of benefits for the Custom Installer and the end Customer. Using proven easy-to-setup software, VIA!TOOLS, VIA!4.0 is fast, comfortable and simple for ELAN Installers to program and incorporate as part of an ELAN multi-room system. VIA!TOOLS saves Dealers time and money by providing downloadable modules not only for ELAN products but also systems from ELAN’s VIA! Integration Partners (VIPs), and previously-saved VIA! panel layouts can be easily modified to be used with the new 4-inch screen. With the addition of this latest VIA!, Customers can now enjoy all of the benefits that come with a slick home automation product, such as real-time feedback for ease of operation, and also enjoy greater affordability and choice, since the VIA!4.0 is priced lower than any panel of its kind on the market today.
The VIA!4.0 will be available, at half the price of the 6.4-inch VIA! Touch Panel, at an MSRP of $850 and will come with a two-year manufacturer’s warranty.
