The ability to easily specify and integrate biometric control systems as part of custom install project is about to become significantly easier, with the news that biometric solutions manufacturer Invixium, soon to be Control4 certified, has partnered with UK smart home software development outfit Janus Technology. As part of the deal, Janus will distribute Invixium’s Mycro, Sense and Touch products via its online web store Janus has also developed a two-way Control4 driver for Invixium hardware.
