  1. Equinox 73 launch update

  2. Key Messaging/Positioning • Equinox iOS or Android Tablet APP • Rich media "quick to access control" apps with integrated dashboard control of lighting, audio, video, comfort and security systems on Android and iOS tablets through the InFusion system. • Equinox 73 • A rich media "quick to access control" LCD touchscreen for integrated dashboard control of lighting, audio, video, comfort and security systems through the InFusion system. • Reference Equinox 40 • A single-gang "quick to access control" LCD touch keypad for lighting, audio and comfort controls through the InFusion system.

  3. agenda • research • 3 key elements • hardware • user experience • software tools • why equinox? • selling tools • wrap up & qa

  4. the category is undifferentiated, with an overall high-tech feel that confirms the perception of bulky, bleeding-edge technology the unmet need

  5. equinox – “we listened to the homeowner” we set out to understand the ideal homeowner experience … the whole journey from investigation & concept, though specification & install to living with and supporting the system unfortunately or FORTUNATELY we got the full story … what we asked for and more

  6. equinox – “what we learned” keep it simple … consistently deliver a system that feels right for everyone especially spouses and houseguests grow with me …allow the system to grow and adapt to the ever changing needs of the home let me play … enable those who want to play, let them feel comfortable “discovering more” talk to me … extend appropriate communication to the homeowner, tell them about update opportunities my dealer defines the magic … further empower dealers to provide an amazing experience freeing time to truly appreciate their need and do what they do best – being consultative and creative (!) defined by vantage delivered by the dealer

  7. equinox – “the family” • range of products • varying capabilities • deliver an experience equinox 73 equinox 41 equinox 40 tablet app standard keypad mobile app

  15. equinox user experience – “mini widgets” • equinox 40 • single layer UI • multiple combinations • extra pages equinox 40

  16. four mini-widget combinations scenes only temp + scenes mini widgets temperature / climate / clock / weather scenes / lighting audio temp + scenes + audio scenes + audio

  17. header mini-widget quickly view the room temperature temporarily override your temperature setpoint and enjoy active real-time feedback with a quick glance, you can accurately tell what time it is keep an eye on the weather with a visual display for a minimal look, simply opt for a blank area adjustable temperature temperature clock weather blank • premier partners: • Vantage • AprilAire • Bryant (Coming Soon) • Carrier (Coming Soon) • Daikin VRV • Fujitsu VRF • Hitachi VRF • Honeywell VRV • Mitsubishi VRF • RCS (Coming Soon) • Sanyo VRF • Tekmar (Coming Soon) • Toshiba VRF • WSI Weather

  18. page indicator shows which page out of three you are on customized scenes enjoy personalized naming of buttons status indicator + / - buttons determine what scenes are active easily raise or lower the lighting levels scenes mini-widget 5 scenes 3 scenes + audio when using audio, Equinox 4 allows for three scenes per page scenes can be simple ON/OFF, dimmable or can contain conditional logic for convenience and energy savings

  30. software tools • bringing it all together • ease of set up & time efficiencies • premier partners • licensing

  31. software – how it all comes together Design Center System / Controller In-walls (40, 41, 73) Tablets & Mobiles • Programming and configuration data all sent to controller • Prescribed UI • Systems based widgets • UI shell loaded at factory in firmware • Updateable in field • Prescribed UI • Systems based widgets • UI shell loaded from iTunes or Marketplace app stores • Updateable in the field • Add system objects (lighting, audio, climate, energy, etc) • Drivers / Integration • Custom programming of scenes and macros • Conditional logic • Timers • Sensors App stores 1 2 3

  32. time efficiencies Before: After: Simple: time needed to configure a simple control system consisting of a few lights, keypads, hvac, a touchscreen and an app +/- 16 hrs 1 hr Advanced: time needed to configure an advanced control system consisting of multiple touchscreens, apps, lights, keypads, hvac, energy, audio, video, security and shades Days / weeks 2 days Send file to controller Auto build Equinox 2 3 1 Configure DC file

  33. sample project system specs 7,000’ sq - residence 1 controller 4 enclosures 105 loads 40 keypads 8 motion sensors 3 thermostats 10 zones audio 1 media server 1 theater: Projector, Receiver, Bluray 1 Security system 3 TPT650s 1 TPT700 1 TPT1210 current environment - 8 days to program: (3 days system, 5 days touchscreens) equinox environment - 4 days to program: (3 days system, 1 day touchscreens) (replaced 650s, 700 and 1210) total savings: 4 days @ 100$/hr = $3200

  34. premier partners Cameras Climate Home Theater MZ Audio MZ Video MZ Sources Networking Pool / Spa Power / Energy Security Shades / Motors

  35. licensing 1 • configure DC • each 73 or 41 adds a license • each tablet/mobile needs a license • add App Objects as necessary, such as iPad, tablet, etc order SD Card as necessary loads license info app checks 2 3 4 3 SKUs EQ-APP-5 EQ-APP-10 EQ-APP-X • controller • holds license info • pings SD card periodically • app • checks with ctrlr for authentication • checks with ctrlr for license qty • if no license at start – will not start • if no license after config – splash screen appears

  36. licensing • EQ-APP Licensing Model • equinox 73 & equinox 41 devices do NOT need a license • apple, android and future other non-vantage devices (pcs, macs) DO need a license • purchasing a 73 or a 41 and installing on project will provide 1 app license each • the equinox app will be free and downloadable from the app stores (iTunes, marketplace) • licenses for apps are added automatically through the DC file to the controller and need to be on and configured • A license will be needed per project to cover "X" qty devices past any 73 or 41 counts example: a dealer purchases and installs two 73s and one 41 for a project. that project is allowed up to 3 mobile/tablet apps for iPad and/or android. if more apps are needed, the dealer can purchase and install the appropriate SD card in the controller to allow “X” more app devices.

  37. licensing • EQ-APP Licensing Model • 3 appSKUs: • 1-5 devices (EQ-APP-5) • 6-10 devices (EQ-APP-10) • 11+ devices (EQ-APP-X) • flat rate SKUs - no discounts, no commissions • licensing follows a “floating” license model (any authorized app device can connect, but once max # is reached no more can access controller • benefit - allows users to buy replacement or new iPads and add them without having to contact dealer • if more devices are needed, dealer can purchase the next SD SKU for more devices • dealer could reuse low qty SD card for next project • upgrade path: existing vantage app stays independent. if existing home wants app either buy a 73 or the license.

  38. why equinox? • we delivered – “the unmet need” • selling tools • what next

  39. equinox – “delivered” defined by vantage delivered by the integrator

  40. equinox – “truly differentiated” for the dealer of new or remodelopportunities where hardware revenue can be made on both product & programming. POE wifi 12v infrastructure DC configured that is flexible & adaptable …. forthehomeownerit’stheeasiest way to immediately access lighting control, comfort and audio through a single layer interface, touchlessscenes … … a native Vantage product that is consistent with other equinox and ce devices … always on always there and personalized … it’s as reliable as a light switch but will provide so much more … three functions, three pages for the designer a unique aesthetic & specification proposition no downtime, little compromise to traditional build cycles a product for the global market.
