In the past, consumers have had to use a separate
Sonos controller, and while that can still be used, the
Philips Pronto TSU9600 touch screen solution means all automation can be controlled from one remote.
Qualifi Business Manager Joe Salamanca, who distribute the Pronto, says that a solution to the
Sonos problem had been a long time coming. However, thanks to AVD Australia and Qualify Systems (no relation to Qualifi) a 2-way plug-in solution has been developed that now allows the music system and the rest of the house talk. And how will
Sonos feel about their controller no longer being necessary?
"I think more people might buy
Sonos," says Salamanca. "
Sonos sales have taken off, but now they can be fully integrated into an automation system, it means they will definitely be taken into consideration for solution providers of home automation systems. That has to be good for [
Sonos]."
