The TC1 is an automation processor that can interface and control various equipment types through its IR ports, I/O ports, relay ports, and serial ports. It has an ARM processor running Ray-OS, supports Ethernet, and can automate tasks through scheduling. It is housed in a durable ABS enclosure and can control lighting, curtains, AV equipment, alarms and more through programming with Design Express software.
