Aeotec illumino Switch
Why Aeotec illumino Switch?
Traditional wall switches only provide basic on and off control, making it difficult to integrate lighting into a modern smart home. Aeotec illumino Switch transforms a standard wall switch into a smart switch by combining manual operation with Z-Wave automation, scheduling, and remote control. It is built using Aeotec's Gen7 Z-Wave technology and is compatible with Z-Wave gateways such as Aeotec Smart Home Hub and SmartThings.
Designed for simple in-wall installation, illumino Switch supports both single-pole and 3-way installations using a standard remote switch. Its compact design allows it to fit into most gang boxes while maintaining a familiar Decora-style appearance.
