RANCHO CUCAMONGA, CA--(Marketwired - September 11, 2014) - Offering high quality tech gear online at affordable prices, Monoprice (www.monoprice.com) has again expanded its home automation line for the smart-homeowner. It will unveil its new products at the Custom Electronic Design & Installation Association® (CEDIA®) EXPO 2014 in Denver, Colorado on September 11-13, 2014.

"Monoprice is known for its high-quality products that customers want at the most competitive prices you can find online," said Bernard Luthi, president of Monoprice. "With a movement towards owning smart home automation and audio systems, it became clear that Monoprice should add more to its current product line in this market. Our home automation and entertainment systems will appeal to our customers who are seeking an affordable alternative to increasing the functionality of their living and work areas."

Monoprice's new line of home automation components integrate with current equipment in homes and workplaces through various operating platforms, providing convenience remotely and enhancing the use of home security, lighting controls, home theater and audio systems.

Monoprice will debut its lineup of new and affordable home automation products at CEDIA including:

Z-Wave® Dimming Plug-In Switch (#11994): With the ability to sync up to two different devices, this forthcoming wall attachment allows users to easily control the dimming function of their lamps or lights through their electronic device.

Z-Wave Door and Window Sensor ($24.88, #10795): This sensor can be used to monitor either a door or a window, sending a Z-Wave signal when the door or window has been breached.

Z-Wave Glass Shock Sensor (#11988): This forthcoming sensor can be set on a window or other surface to produce an alarm when break-ins or other forceful entries occur.

Z-Wave Electronic Door Lock Sensor ($114.97, #10798): In addition to allowing operation using multiple PINs programmed for multiple users, this deadbolt lock monitors and logs the time and identities of the users who lock or unlock the device.

Z-Wave Garage Door Sensor (#11987): This sensor allows users to conveniently and remotely check whether the garage door is open or closed.

Z-Wave Smoke Detector ($50.13, #10797): When detected smoke reaches a particular density, a Z-Wave signal is sent and the detector's alarm sounds to alert you to the dangerous smoke intensity.

Monoprice's lineup of new and affordable home theater products include:

6 Zone Home Audio Multizone Controller and Amplifier Kit ($649, Product ID #10761): This no-logo, multi-zone controller is a 6x6 matrix with six stereo audio inputs and six outputs. Each input channel can be independently directed to any of the output channels using the included remote control or the keypad controllers installed in each zone.

300 Watt 2 Channel Amplifier ($278.40, Product ID #11497): This new stereo amplifier puts out 150-watts per channel into 8-ohms with only 0.2% Total Harmonic Distortion plus Noise (THD+N). When bridged into mono mode, it can deliver up to 470-watts into an 8-ohm load, with the same 0.2% THD+N, making it well suited for high power applications when used as an amplifier in a multi-zone home audio system.

2-Channel 40 Watt Bluetooth® Amplifier ($91.85, Product ID #11498): This recently launched, all-inclusive stereo amplifier delivers 20-watts per channel into 4-ohm loads, which is more than enough to drive most bookshelf speakers.

39" Sound Bar with Bluetooth and Wireless Subwoofer ($159, Product ID #12243): This sound bar can elevate your entire home theater sound experience. This 2.1 digital home theater sound bar system with a 2.4GHz wireless subwoofer runs at 140 watts of total output power. Approximate availability is November 2014.
