your connected devices throughout the home or

your home’s devices is simple using the HCM­R1’s Wi-Fi communication.

Features and Benefits

● Quick Connect Wi-Fi

The HCM-R1 connects to Wi-Fi within
moments of picking up the remote, quickly
giving you control of your home audio/video
equipment.

● Two-way meta-data feedback

feedback when used in conjunction with an
ever expanding line of third-party products.

● Pick-up sensor

sensor which quickly awakens the remote
when picked up. Immediately, the remote’s

Before Getting Started

● Designed for use on your local wireless
network

The HCM-R1 Remote Control works with
your local wireless network. This feature
gives you control of your system by sending
commands over your home network without
being in line-of-sight of the equipment.
Expand your system to also control your
home’s audio/video devices by adding a
HCM-C1 Base Station.

● Programmable via a simple web page
interface

Use the URC web based programming
page to fully automate your home
entertainment, comfort and security system.
Download and save the setup file on the
URC µCloud. All that is needed is basic
knowledge of your devices, and the settings
of your local area network.
