RTI announced this week the availability of a new two-way driver for Tenflare’s Voice Viper CTL voice control system. The new driver makes it simple for integrators to incorporate voice control into RTI’s control and automation systems.

Voice Viper is a hardware solution developed by TenFlare, a company started by integrators, which adds voice control to AMX, Crestron, Control4 and now RTI systems. An in-wall microphone eliminates the need to hold a remote or smartphone, and even eliminates the need to press any buttons to activate the “listener.” Action commands are acted upon while ambient conversation is ignored. Simple to program and integrate into an RTI control system using the Integration Designer drag-and-drop programming environment, the two-way driver allows up to 256 different control phrases.

To execute voice commands, Voice Viper’s compact module communicates to an RTI control system via RS232 or Ethernet for quick, reliable control. Using just the user’s voice, the RTI system provides complete control over all electronic systems in a home or commercial facility from A/V equipment to HVAC, lighting, security systems, and much more.

The Voice Viper driver is available now on RTI’s website in the Driver Store.
