Remote Technologies Incorporated (RTI), a leading control systems manufacturer, announced today that its RK1 In-Wall System Controller Series has been named “2007 Product of the Year” by Electronic House magazine. The three new customizable keypads have been designed for flush-mount installations and provide a self-contained control system for operating audio/video components, lights, or other electronic systems in a home.

“We’re honored to be the recipients of Electronic House magazine’s ‘2007 Product of the Year’ award for the RK1 Series of In-wall Controllers,” said Pete Baker, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for RTI. “The RK1 Series of programmable keypads are a convenient addition to any RTI system and give installers a very elegant and affordable option for control throughout a home.”

Sized for a single-gang outlet, the RK1-2, RK1-4 and RK1-8 incorporate two, four, and eight fully-programmable buttons respectively, which can be custom labeled with text and symbols. In addition to labeling customization, the backlight for each button can be configured to display a variety of different colors.
