CONTROLLER: A device that can deliver electricity to Smart Glass to switch appearance from opaque to transparent (turn On/Off the privacy).
Whether you are looking to control your Smart Glass with a wall switch, dimmer, remote control or wirelessly, Smart Glass Technologies has you covered! Easy compatibility with many home automation systems allows you to control multiple glass panels simultaneously, set up schedules to automatically control your Smart Glass, as well as motion sensors and voice control.
TYPES OF CONTROLLERS:
- Wall On/Off Switch
The wall switch is one of the most common and important electrical devices in the home.
Most of the common types of switches come in different styles, such as toggle, rocker, slider, or push-button. The style usually does not affect the switch function and wiring.
While switches usually are used for lights, they can be used to turn electrical current on or off for nearly any electrical device, including the Smart Glass.
- Wall Dimmer
A dimmer switch controls Smart Glass opacity, by reducing the average voltage applied to the Smart Glass.
In the professional lighting industry, changes in intensity or opacity are called “fades” and can be “fade up” or “fade down”.
- Remote/ Smart Switch
A remote makes it an ideal replacement for older switches regardless of your home’s décor.
You can control your Smart Glass in a variety of ways – via the free app, your voice, or from the wall; create personalized schedules to turn on, off, or dim Smart Glass at set times to best fit your everyday routines.
You can mount the Remote switch to almost any wall surface without cutting holes or pulling wire.
Also the remote can be used up to a 100-foot radius, and will respond instantly regardless of how many walls or obstacles are between it and the Smart Glass! Remote switches’ battery life is excellent – you won’t need to replace the coin cell battery even after years of use.
- Smartphone
The Smart Glass integrates with smartphones for convenient operation.
All you have to do is to download an application on your phone!
- Google Home / Alexa Amazon
Control your Smart Glass through voice commands!
Note: this switch requires a neutral wire for installation.
Watch how it works in real life!
Schedule the in-wall smart wi-fi switch to automatically power Smart Glass on or off based on the specific times you set and schedule. Help keep intruders away while on vacation with additional security. Save on your electric bills by cutting out wasteful standby power and overheating, while extending product life.
