Smart switches for smarter homes

IMAGINE IF A LIGHT SWITCH COULD CONTROL YOUR WHOLE HOME.

A fully integrated smart home solves one of the biggest headaches of modern building design "wall acne".

You know what I'm talking about, it’s that cluttered wall with:

a light switch for the downlights
another switch for the pendants
maybe a dimmer
a thermostat
an alarm keypad
and probably even an intercom.

LIGHT SWITCHES ARE SO MUCH MORE

It’s time to stop thinking of light switches as just light switches.

They’re now whole-room controllers, capable of managing almost anything in your home.

It’s about having a single platform, a single device, a single app to control everything.

It’s about creating a unified experience that makes your home feel intuitive and effortless.

BUT HOW?

This product showcases a system called KNX. A European lighting control system that, with the right configuration can interact with any other system in the home.

Meaning, less on the wall, less to interact with, less to remember. Simplicity.

SAY GOODBYE TO:

AC thermostat
Electric blind remotes
Fireplace controls
RGB light remotes
Hydronic heating thermostats
And everybody's favourite - extra light switches

SO I NEED A TOUCH SCREEN JUST FOR MY LIGHTS?

As nice as it would be to have a touch screen in every room - it just isn't practical. And having one button to turn on all of your lights might be nice on occassion, but not daily.

Don’t get me wrong—a light switch still needs to be a light switch. It should be tactile, with a satisfying click that physically controls the light.

But in rooms with multiple lighting zones and other devices, we need to rethink the old approach of using individual buttons for each light.

Instead of controlling lights one by one, we should be using a single button to activate entire moods or scenes.

And I’m not suggesting we take away your ability to control individual lights when you need to.

ONE PRESS SET THE MOOD

But let’s be honest—how often do you actually need to switch on the wall lights separately from the pendants or downlights? In most cases, you just want to walk in, press a button, and have the whole room instantly match the mood you're after.

Are we cooking or cleaning and need the room bright and functional?
Or are we winding down, relaxing, and wanting a softer, warmer atmosphere?

In a Fully Integrated Smart Home, a single button press can: dim the wall lights to 50%, soften the pendants to 25%, and even start your favourite chill-out playlist—instantly creating a calm, inviting space to unwind. And if your preferences change over time, it’s easy to tweak those scenes yourself—no need to call your integrator back for a ‘reprogramming session’.
