IRVINE, Calif., Dec. 17 /PRNewswire/ -- Smarthome announced today that it has expanded its Cortexa home automation product offering by launching the new 8.4" and 15" touchscreens.

"These affordable and powerful screens finally bring all the pieces of Cortexa together. We now have a unique, reliable and complete home automation product suite."

Cortexa's new touchscreens are powerful and offer fast processors, flush mounting, acrylic bezels, capacitive soft-touch configurable buttons, webcams and more. Cortexa's robust solid-state touchscreens enable access to the Cortexa Home Automation Controller. Third party web-based or Windows based applications can also be configured. Cortexa's new touchscreens are RoHS compliant, energy-efficient and reliable for years of always-on service through the XPe embedded OS.

The perfect compliment to the Cortexa controller series, the touchscreens are ideal for any web-based or Windows based application where an in-wall location and touch access are essential. This robust, solid-state smartscreen offers unwavering stability with a low-heat, high performance fanless processor. The acrylic bezel frame offers four soft-touch sensing buttons, webcam and microphone with two amplified speakers.

"The Cortexa touchscreens provide consumers with the ultimate in touchscreen control for a variety of home automation systems, security and surveillance systems, and whole home audio/video systems," stated Laurie Maroni, Vice President of Marketing at Smarthome.
