Control From Your Wall
If you need quick, accessible zone control, the DAX88 gives you the ability to access total command of the DAX88 via in-wall keypads.

The keypad has a built-in IR target for use with the DAX88 remote. Also, the keypad has an external IR target terminal if you want to use an additional target in another location.
Each keypad connects via ethernet cable to the DAX88HUB Keypad Hub, which allows you to connect eight individual keypads to place throughout your home or business. The DAX88HUB connects to the DAX88 with a single ethernet cable. You can assign which zone the keypad controls via dipswitches in the back of the keypad.
