seeTouch keypads: wired or wireless

Keep what works, plan the path to QSX
seeTouch keypads have soft backlighting and custom engraving, and work across GRAFIK Eye QS, HomeWorks QS, and Sivoia QS. If you already have them, we check the processor, the wiring, and the shade and lighting load to see what can be kept and what should move to QSX. Most modern HomeWorks homes use Palladiom, Sunnata, or Alisse keypads.
See HomeWorks QSX.
