Is it safe to assume that the new TRC-1080 will work with the MRX-10 base station? I assume the iPad and Android apps also work with the MRX-10 (with appropriate licenses).

Thanks for any info!

yes, it will only work with an MRX10 base station since it is a Total Control remote and a Total Control system must have an MRX10 base station.  The current Android app available only works with Complete Control which uses an MRX1 or MRX2 base station. (and you won't be able to use the TRC1080 with Complete Control)  Only the iPad app is available at this time for Total Control.

Ah, so that is the source of my confusion.

The MRX2 product page indicates it is both a "Complete Control" and "Total Control" product. Here is the system I'm hoping to design, tell me if this is viable:

Home Theater:
(3 RS232 devices, 1 IP device, 4 IR devices)
- MRX-10 controller
- TCR-1080 remote

Family Room:
(1 IP device, 4 IR devices)
- MRX-2 controller
- TRC-1080 remote
- Need to also be able to control one device located in Home Theater

With iPad/Android app solutions that can drive either room. It would seem odd that the apps couldn't communicate with a controller as powerful as the MRX-10, especially if a MRX-2 is also connected on the same network...


Thoughts? Thanks!

no, I think you are correct. I have a similar setup with different remotes (trc-780, and trc-1280).

I have my mrx-2 connected to a ethernet bridge in bedroom controlling things there and mrx-10 in den.

that system will work fine and you will be able to control it with the ipad app, and the android app once it is available for Total Control.

the MRX10 is the brain of the Total Control system.  All the programming resides in it.  The MRX2 is a secondary device that gets its instructions from the MRX10, that is why the MRX10 needs to be in the system.

The MRX2 can be used in a Complete Control system, but that is a completely different animal (pun not intended).
