iPort debuts Xpress wi-fi magnetic keypad for Sonos

The iPort Xpress wi-fi keypad is the world’s first wi-fi keypad dedicated to Sonos systems. Faster to use than an app, it allows direct connection to any Sonos device in the home. Distribution is via Habitech.

When paired with a Sonos device through wi-fi, the Xpress controls play/pause, track forward, volume, Sonos favourites, and an entire Sonos home sound system when grouped in party mode.

The keypad uses a rechargeable lithium polymer battery, which provides up to six months of power. Users can keep the magnetic keypad on their fridge, or mount it on-wall using the supplied wall-plate adaptor.

Set up is achieved via the iPort Connect App. The Xpress Audio Keypad is an Endorsed Partner Integration with Sonos.
