Our Solutions
-
Home automation helps you manage the use of your electrical devices. This way you can feel safer, live life more comfortably and also save energy. You still have full control of your equipment and lighting via switches, and you can also rely on intuitive screens, your smartphone or even your voice.
-
To make life simpler, we make buildings smarter. For Wygwam, that begins with making our versatile portfolio of sensors even better.
-
We have strong experience in providing beautiful and highly functional doorbell units. These go from a simple push button bell to high-quality external units with an intercom or videophone. The compact and tight-fitting external units can easily be placed on the façade, in the entrance hall, or on a gate or fence.
