Feature Additions:

URC is pleased to announce the release of the new TCM Management tool, a powerful two-way module management solution integrated within Accelerator 3. This tool provides direct access to all compatible URC Total Control Modules available on the URC Dealer Portal. You can now efficiently browse, install, and update modules using advanced search functionality, including category selection, filters, and sorting. The TCM Management tool mirrors the module information available on the Dealer Portal, providing access to feature overviews, update history, integration guides, video tutorials, and screenshots – all within the Accelerator 3 environment.

• Upon opening a project file and prior to downloading to an MRX controller, the system will perform an automatic check for available updates to modules used within the project. You will then be presented with the option to select which modules to update
• The tool may be accessed by clicking the “Total Control Modules” button that appears in the “My Database” tool bar and the “Add Other Devices” programming step
• The "Import TCM" functionality has been enhanced to minimize the instances where restarting the Accelerator program is necessary following an import operation

Bug Fixes:

Room names that contain uncommon special characters may cause the MRX to crash

Two-way module commands may occasionally store integer variable values incorrectly

• Modifying the device layout Numeric Keypad screen "-/." button name will not display the change on the remote
• Rare case of remote rebooting continuously after a download

Feature Additions:

The TDC-5100 is officially released! The new URC handheld controller with hard buttons and a 5" touch screen. Highlights are below and the full story is on the URC Dealer Portal

• 5” high-resolution LCD Screen
• Amazon Alexa, Comcast Xfinity and Apple TV seamlessly controlled using voice commands via the built-in microphones and speaker

• Easy installation with 2.4 and 5 GHz Quick Connect WiFi
• Simple to dock on the included charging base 

URC touch screen keypads and mobile apps have a new Main Menu “XL” display mode now available in the Device Properties\Custom User Interface settings section. This mode is the default selection on the new TDC-5100 and may be selected on these devices:

• TKP-9600
• TDC-9100
• TKP-8600
• TDC-7100
• TKP-7600
• TKP-5600
• Android Phone and Android Tablet URC Mobile 2 app version 1.6.31.0
• iPhone Mobile and iPad Mobile URC Mobile 2.5 app version 1.2.137

Unified Shades module: To make the UI more intuitive we reversed the open/close buttons so that the open button is on the right side and close is on the left side to better match the raise and lower buttons.

Improvement to URC Tech Support Logging UI

Updated some 2-way module character fonts

Bug Fixes:

AppleTV module launch macros may cause the TV UI to show interfaces disconnecting and then reconnecting

MRX-5:

• Parallel downloading sometimes fails when more than three MRX-5 devices are selected in the project     
• Favorite Channel module commands are delayed when transmitted through a secondary MRX-5
• Project Tree icon is missing 
• There is an available setting to adjust the front panel brightness (light pipe), even though these models do not have a light pipe. Also applies to MRX-12 

TRC-1480 and TRC-1080:

• Favorite Channel module jump button does not work when manually placed in the device layout of the target device

TRC-1080:

• Remote no longer jumps to Camera Pop Up when triggered from a Room Scene button
• Remote may become unrecoverable after download

Custom Driver or Device Properties Function List editing causes errors if you delete any of the commands currently associated with the Quickbar commands without first removing the Quickbar selection. You will no longer be able to use that Quickbar assignment number

Volume control through an AVR is lost when HDA Room Link is started in some very rare circumstances

After a power outage, volume control through IP is lost when used with a Denon AVR that has volume feedback enabled. Rebooting the MRX rectifies the issue

URC mobile app may crash at launch in some extreme business network environments 

Unicode characters may not show up properly in Unified Module
