We’re excited to share the news that AWE customer IDES is the first URC Showroom outside of the USA to receive ‘URC Certified Showroom’ status.
This well-deserved accolade opens the doors for further showrooms in Europe to be granted ‘certified showroom’ status in the future.
A global leader in home automation
As a global leader in smart home automation and control solutions, URC sets high standards for showrooms to be officially certified. To qualify, dealers must showcase a fully functioning URC Total Control demo kit as well as meet other criteria, including sales achievements, being current with URC’s award-winning training curriculum and hold a minimum of ‘silver’ in URC’s Direct Dealer Package.
IDES customers including homeowners, property developers and architects, can visit the showroom and experience URC control solutions. Offering great value, wide integration with leading brands including Silent Gliss, Panasonic, Denon, a well-designed and user-friendly interface and technical support, IDES is a great choice for every smart home project.
The first certified URC Showroom in Europe
“We’re delighted to be the first certified URC Showroom in Europe. One of the main reasons we adopted URC as our chosen control platform is its easy integration with KNX. URC interfaces seamlessly with our KNX heating, lighting, window treatment control, and this is a big plus for our customers too,” commented Stephen Kerr, IDES Technical Director.
The accolade comes on the back of an exciting period of development at IDES. In 2021, IDES won Best International Installation in the 7th Annual URC Unsurpassed Awards and, in January 2022, the company was acquired by CSS (Connelly Security Systems). Following the acquisition, IDES now has a field base of 80 customer support engineers and electricians, looking after 35,000 systems across Scotland.
AWE is delighted to be part of the IDES success story and they can’t wait to see what we achieve next. Watch this space for further updates on the IDES showroom… coming soon!
