Press Release

ELAN SC-100 System Controller is ideal for media rooms and single-room control; features quadcore processor and robust control performance for an attractive price.

Carlsbad, California, February 6, 2020 — Nice/ELAN®, the control brand by Nice North America LLC (NSC), today announces the Nice/ELAN SC-100 System Controller is available for delivery. Further expanding the possibilities for all Nice/ELAN integrators and home builders, the new entry-level controller is designed for smaller installations or where single-point control is required for media, climate, lighting and more. Attractively priced, the new Nice/ELAN SC-100 System Controller is powered by a high-performance quad-core processor and can also be deployed as an intelligent extender for larger Nice/ELAN installations.

The Nice/ELAN SC-100 System Controller is available for order by itself or as a convenient bundled solution with the sleek Nice/ELAN HR10 handheld remote. The bundle combination provides everything a homeowner needs to improve their media experience and control a single room or environment.

Homeowners using the Nice/ELAN single-room control solution can use one remote to manage all their media and entertainment in one room and the Nice/ELAN mobile app to control and automate lighting, temperature, and door lock systems in the home. With interfaces for controlling devices over IP, RS-232, and IR, the Nice/ELAN SC-100 System Controller is an ideal choice to integrate with most popular brands.

ELAN’s new single-room solution may be cloud-managed so that dealers can enjoy visibility and control over all deployed systems to monitor and ensure their software is always up to date or the latest. ELAN 8.4, the latest software version, is available to Nice/ELAN dealers for download.

Millions of consumers today are seeking access to the many benefits of automated media and single room control solutions. In some cases, higher-end home automation solutions are too costly for the average consumer. The new Nice/ELAN SC-100 System Controller brings the ultimate media or one-room solution and the company’s world-class service together for a new affordable price for more integrators and customers.

“The Nice/ELAN SC-100 offers robust performance at a compelling price point that creates new opportunities for our dealers and home builders,” said Richard Pugnier, vice president of marketing at NSC. “For small to moderate installs, this provides a single point of control for an optimal media solution plus the ability to add climate, lighting, security and other capabilities. Through our award-winning Nice/ELAN interface, the Nice/ELAN SC-100 delivers an exceptional experience and expands our intelligent systems to more customers, further elevating the Nice/ELAN brand.”

“The new compact design allows easy installation in cabinets, structured wiring cabinets and even behind a display,” said Jeff Shaw, Nice/ELAN product manager. “And the Nice/ELAN SC-100 in extender mode enables use with gSC series controllers on larger projects that require multiple rooms, floors, and properties and that have attached products from all our custom brands. Coming right on the heels of our new Nice/ELAN surveillance lineup, integrators have more choices to satisfy more customers.”

The Nice/ELAN SC-100 is now available for order by Authorized Nice/ELAN Dealers. Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price for the Controller and Remote Control is $999 before labor and installation. Model numbers for the product, remote and mount are as follows:
