The Wonder
Switch
A switch with vast potential - lighting control,
N ANOGRID SWITCHES, THE
recipient of Red Dot Design
Award 2011, feature a unique
Z-wave-shaped button design, which
according to the manufacturer is inspired
energy management, temperature sensing, by the lines in traditional Korean
architecture and clothing. Besides, the
and more... switches feature built-in energy logging,
enabling users to monitor and manage
energy usage of any lighting load.
Also, the devices have built-
in temperature sensors, so that the
respective zones can be tied to a
home’s HVAC system thus, eliminating
the need for additional temperature
sensors. Other models feature Braille
for the visually impaired.
With the Nanogrid FDN2000 series it
is possible to create customised ambient
lighting throughout the building, while
still conserving energy and cutting costs.
It’s convenient and intuitive controls
allow the user to quickly power down
unoccupied areas, and eliminate the need
to search for lights and appliances that
have been left on.
As if this were not enough, the
remote lock feature gives even more
control to the user. Remote lock
overrides switch panels to cut power to
selected devices. And, whether at home
or away, the user has complete access to
the electrical network via the web and
smartphone controls. Energy monitoring
features help users to estimate costs for
specific devices and lighting fixtures.
These easy-to-use tools enable users to
locate areas of greatest consumption,
identify ‘always on’ appliances, and set
goals to slash utility bills.
This stylish and inspired wave-shaped
switch comes with interchangeable
face plates available in five colours,
while the LED indicators come in white,
blue, and green. n
