Surface Mount

Elegantly integrate iPad onto any surface.

 

iPad is everywhere, in business and homes. There are thousands of smart devices now that help make your life better like smart door locks, smart lighting and even digital music systems. All these devices come to life on your iPad screen where you can control them as you desire. We believe there should be an easy way to place your iPad on a wall, making it always charged and always available. Turn your iPad into a smart touch controller with Surface Mount: the elegant frame that allows you to integrate iPad onto any surface. Learn more by watching the video below.

Install iPad in a snap.

Installing iPad into the Surface Mount bezel is a ‘snap’, literally. Just place iPad into the bezel and snap in the tabs, that’s it. While installed, you can still control the iPad power button by using the power button extension port on the side of the bezel. You can even utilize iPad’s speaker and microphone while installed in the bezel.

wall_box

Use any wall box worldwide; install in any orientation.

The Surface Mount system gives you true flexibility when installing iPad on a wall. The mounting bracket can be positioned in any orientation on top of any wall box. This is helpful if trying to align the Surface Mount with other objects above or below on the wall, or if trying to cover a hole from an older device. And our specialized screws are 1 part anchor, 1 part screw, minimizing the amount of work required to affix the mounting bracket onto the wall. We thought hard to make it easy… so you don’t have to.

A tiny device with a lot of possibilities.

Meet the iPort PoE Splitter, a tiny device that can fit into any wall box, worldwide. Connect Cat-5 or Cat-6 cable to the Splitter to receive power from a PoE (803.2af) power source like a PoE Network Switch, or connect low voltage wire to our 2-pin port from any 24V DC power source. Connect your iPad lightning cable to the USB port to provide up to 12W of power to iPad. You can even use the Splitter as a cable manager to wrap up excess iPad cable, making it easier to place the Splitter in a wall box. It’s like origami, for your wires.

hang_ipad

Hang iPad on the wall with the power of magnets.

Once you’ve placed iPad in the bezel, and wired your Splitter, the only thing left to do is snap your iPad-in-bezel onto the mounting bracket. This is done with the power of magnets. Simply place the Bezel above the mounting bracket and it snaps right into place. You can even utilize our security locks to make sure your iPad says put in busy places like offices or restaurants.

Hold. Charge. Protect.

 

The World’s First and Only Inductive Charger / Magnetic Mount for iPad
LaunchPort is the revolutionary charging and mounting system that forever changes how you can use iPad. The LaunchPort system consists of a Sleeve and any number of Stations. A Sleeve is a protective case that fits onto your iPad. A Station is the mount and charging unit that connects to and holds a Sleeve. There are two types of Stations, one for the table and one for the wall.

LaunchPort powers iPad via inductive charging. As soon as a Sleeve is mounted to a Station charging begins immediately, without wires or cables. Magnets are used to mount an iPad-in-Sleeve to a Station. Because magnets are inside the Sleeve, you can also mount it to any metallic surface.

Use iPad while it charges on a wall, table, or virtually anywhere else without cables and without fuss. Elevate what an iPad can do with LaunchPort.

Sleeve + Station = System

The LaunchPort system consists of a Station and a Sleeve. The protective Sleeve slides onto iPad. There are two types of Stations: a BaseStation which can be placed on a table or counter and a WallStation which can be installed into nearly any surface. The WallStation is powered in-wall, with low-voltage wires routed back to a power source.

Inductive Charging

Inductive charging works by safely transmitting energy through the air. There are no cables or conductive elements used in the system, allowing for mounting between a Sleeve and the Station to occur easily and seamlessly. LaunchPort’s inductive charging technology charges your iPad at the same exact rate as Apple’s Power Adapter.

Magnetic Mounting

The LaunchPort Sleeve contains an array of magnets which are used to mount to a Station. These magnets provide a precise and secure connection while the Sleeve hangs on a wall via the WallStation. The result is a unique system that makes mounting and charging truly effortless and flexible for a variety of commercial and residential applications.

iPad + Buttons: The Best of Both Worlds

 

iPad has become the favorite device for automation control, and for good reason: iPad Apps provide a feature-rich, customized and intuitive interface for the user. But even an iPad app can sometimes be cumbersome to operate an automation system because of the need to “wake up” the iPad, navigate to the desired control App and find the control.

Hard buttons, on the other hand, provide immediate access to key controls. Hard buttons typically exist on the wall and in most cases are not at your fingertips. Our goal was simple: to create programmable, hard buttons that function independent of iPad. We believe this provides the best of both worlds: immediate access to key controls along with the richness of Apps; any app you want, at any time.

Say hello to LaunchPort with Buttons, the world’s first programmable, independently functioning buttons on an iPad case. With Buttons, LaunchPort becomes a vital necessity in an automation control system.

Immediate Access to the Controls That Matter Most

 

Lutron_Clear_Connect

 

By utilizing the power of Lutron’s® Industry proven Clear Connect® wireless technology, LaunchPort Sleeve Buttons communicate independently to any Lutron RadioRA® 2, HomeWorks® QS or Caséta™ router, repeater or bridge. Once paired with the Lutron® network device, Sleeve Buttons can control a variety of Lutron® systems. They can even control whole home automation systems like Savant, Crestron, Control 4, RTI and even Do-It-Yourself systems like Roomie and Nest. The power is in your hands.

Integrate with Many Control Systems

Because of Lutron’s Clear Connect platform, Sleeve Buttons can communicate with a variety of control system and devices including Crestron, Savant, Control 4, RTI, Roomie Remote, and more.

 

 

 

The System

 

What a LaunchPort with Buttons System Looks Like

The LaunchPort with Buttons system consists of 3 parts: a Station, a Sleeve and Sleeve Buttons. Sleeve Buttons replace the standard top that ships with a Sleeve, adding buttons to the Sleeve. Sleeve Buttons models exist to match LaunchPort Sleeve models and colors.

Control System Components and Compatibility

 

Sleeve Buttons communicate via Lutron’s Clear Connect one way 434MHz (or 868MHz if in UK / EU) protocol to a variety of Lutron network bridges and repeaters. The Lutron network bridge converts clear connect button-press commands onto an IP network. Using Lutron drivers, Sleeve Buttons can be monitored by the control processor of the control system of your choice. In most cases, the Lutron Caséta Smart Bridge Pro is the only network bridge required to allow Sleeve Buttons to communicate with your control system.

 

Buttons+Diagram+2

 

Sleeve Buttons are set up as a “phantom keypad” in the control system, button presses are monitored and programmed to enact macros or commands in the control system. The extent of LaunchPort Sleeve Buttons functionality is dependent on the capabilities of the control system you are using.

Note: Some control systems may not provide functionality outside of lighting and shade control, depending on how the Lutron Driver is written.
