Touchscreens have become ubiquitous nowadays and Control4's newest generation of dedicated in-wall control and entertainment systems are the latest gadgets to get an capacitative touchscreen.

Control4's InfinityEdge systems can control lights, music, climate, entertainment and security devices around the home, thanks to the Control4 OS 2.0 and a newly designed Flash interface.

InfinityEdge's capabilities can also be expanded with the help of the 4Store Application Marketplace, a store where users can find applications that allows them to monitor rooms, communicate between rooms, or to broadcast messages to multiple InfinityEdge touchscreens in the home.

The units can be powered trough an AC outlet or Power-over-Ethernet and connectivity is provided thanks to WiFi and Ethernet interfaces.

The number of available power and connectivity options should ease the installation process, reducing the number of cables that a user has to set up for the device to work.

“This introduction supports our vision to provide affordable home control solutions that will allow home owners to access their Control4 system from virtually every room in the house,” stated Control4's CEO Will West.

Although Control4 refers to their systems as affordable, the 5 inch option will set you back $599 and the larger 7 inch model will be available for a whopping $899.

A perpetual site license that enables intercom capability is also available for $499.
