Vimar of Italy says its new flush mounting vocal control revolutionises the concept of home automation and smart homes, making the use of technology simple and accessible to everyone, from children to the elderly.

Developed using Amazon Alexa technology, the flush mounting device expands the traditional concept of touch controls, allowing the user to turn on lights, raise and lower roller shutters and draw curtains, control the climate, call up scenarios, listen to favourite music and control other devices compatible with Amazon Alexa, such as Vimar’s new smart portable multiple socket outlets by simply using the most natural language in the world: our voice.

The vocal control – which matches the styling of Vimar’s three main wiring series, Eikon, Arké and Plana (for Idea, with a three-module adapter) – is integrated into the digital infrastructure of the building, adapting to any style of interior design. It is available in four different colours: White, Anthracite Grey, Next and Metal.

Featuring a Wi-Fi connection, this elegantly designed device with minimal protrusion is perfect both for the smart systems in the View Wireless range – thanks to Bluetooth 5.0 mesh technology – as well as for the wired home automation systems in the By-me Plus range.
