Legrand introduced the lyriQ airQast Main Source module and app for integration with the company’s lyriQ multi-room audio system to allow users to wirelessly control and play their digital music throughout the home from a smartphone or tablet. The app’s jukebox mode enables connected users to select music from other smartphones and tablets that are also on the home network, Fritz Werder, brand general manager of Legrand, told us Tuesday on a press tour in Manhattan. The module and app will be available in August along with the airQast Wi-Fi speaker that allows users to select and play music, adjust volume levels, create playlists, and access streaming audio services through the speaker system from nearly any smartphone or tablet device. An app isn’t available for the Kindle Fire, which Werder called a “closed Android app.” The airQast Wi-Fi speaker, designed for retrofit projects, delivers 40 watts per channel from an analog source, or up to six digital streaming services, Werder said.
