iPort® introduces LaunchPort® with Buttons the world’s first
programmable, independently functioning buttons on an iPad® case.
San Clemente California – September 16th 2014 iPort brings game-changing addition to
LaunchPort: Sleeve Buttons - programmable, wireless buttons on a LaunchPort Sleeve, using the
power of Lutron’s Clear Connect® technology.
iPad has become the favored device for automation control, and for good reason: iPad apps have the
ability to provide a feature-rich, customized and intuitive interface for the user. Still, even the most
elegant iPad app can be cumbersome on occasion when it comes to operating an automation system
because of the need to “wake it up”, navigate to the control app and find the control.
Hard buttons, on the other hand, provide immediate access to key controls. However, hard buttons exist
on a wall, and in most cases are not right next to the user. We thought, if we could give iPad buttons that
functioned independent of the iPad itself, we would deliver the best of both worlds: immediate and
continuous access to key controls and the richness of apps at any time.
We did just that: say hello to LaunchPort with Buttons, the world’s first programmable, independently
functioning buttons on an iPad case.
By utilizing the power of Lutron’s industry proven Clear Connect wireless technology, LaunchPort
Sleeve Buttons communicate independently to any Lutron® RadioRA® 2, HomeWorks® QS or Caséta™
router/bridge. Once paired with the Lutron network device, Sleeve Buttons can control a variety of
Lutron systems or even control whole home automation systems like Savant® and RTI®. The power is in
your hands.
