Nortek and Powerhouse Alliance's new bundle is now available for order at an MSRP of $999. Nortek Security & Control LLC (NSC) recently announced plans to enter the single-room custom control installation marketplace by delivering a new high-performance, affordably-priced product bundle through six select members of the PowerHouse Alliance, one of the nation’s largest consumer electronics supply and distribution groups. PowerHouse distributors will thoroughly vet, train and support their customers.
After training and certification, PowerHouse customers will be authorized to purchase a specific PowerHouse control bundle consisting of the new compact Elan EL-SC-100-SR System Controller and Elan EL-HR1 handheld remote control, a combination that’s been optimized for control of single media rooms or other single-room installations.
Elan’s new single room solution can also be cloud managed, allowing dealers additional visibility and control over all deployed systems. Elan 8.4, the latest software version, is included with the SC-100.
Homeowners using the single room control solution can use one remote to manage almost all their media and entertainment in one room and the Elan mobile app to control and automate lighting, temperature, and door lock systems in the home.
“Working together with the experienced members of the PowerHouse Alliance, we envision penetrating a market segment where we have not fully participated, the single-room home control install,” says Richard Pugnier, vice president of marketing at Nortek.

They are the ideal choice to deliver this bundle in a way that makes sense for all our industry partners.”
