This automation switch panel has a biometric access control, which activates with a fingerprint input, and can recognise up to 300 unique fingerprints. The panel allows specific customisation of who can access which set of electric and electronic appliances, and when, along with touch enabled sliders for the dimming of lights.

Its form is created to resemble an 8-way modular gang box, normally installed while the building is built. Along with being wall mountable, the panel is also available in a wireless type, which can be placed on a table top.

The Biometric Switch Panel comes in an ultra-luxury version as well, with a custom built-in metal frame, studded with 780 diamonds!

Iconic, creative and innovative, the Biometric Switch Panel caters to providing customers with comfort and easy access to their home appliances, with a sleek and luxurious aesthetic, to add to one’s home.
