Touchscreens are hugely popular for home automation and controlling any kind of intelligent device. The reasons are straightforward; screen-based interfaces are easy to customize and can be more intuitive than controls with buttons that might not be labeled clearly. 

However, that doesn’t mean the remote with real buttons is dead. Remote controls with genuine buttons provide a tactile feel that is difficult to duplicate with a touchscreen, and oft-used controls—like a volume key—can be operated without looking once your hand knows where it is. 

Control4 knows this, and they continue to build remote controls that work as well for AV as for smart home control. The newest Control4 home automation remote, the Halo, bridges the best of touchscreens with hard button AV control for a brilliant way to manage your Rosemary Beach, FL, home.
