Elan is one of the big names in home automation controllers and gear. The company has a full line of all sorts of things from in-wall LCDs to amps and lots more.

The company has announced its latest addition to the home automation controller line with a big new in-wall touchscreen.

The screen has a 16:9 aspect ratio and uses flash memory inside.

The TS10 can be installed in a retrofit situation with an optional blackbox and there are pre-construction brackets available as well.

Elan's TS10 uses IP connectivity to communicate with the other components in the system. Pricing is unknown at this time.
