What will the switches of the future be like?

Digitalization and innovation are two realities that have reached homes and of which the industry is taking note. As a result, the switches of the future will be interconnected and linked to what is called IoT (Internet of Things). This article addresses the forecasts for the coming years.

What will be the next innovations in switches?

Society is raising its own demands regarding home automation, starting with this basic system. In a brief main analysis, it would be possible to summarize them in three essential keys that M2B master to adapt to the latest consumer needs:

• Ease of use and access, even outside the home.
• Security and remote control capability.
• Energy efficiency and adaptation to usage habits.

Starting from the first point, one of the innovations in switches with the greatest potential for widespread implementation are digital ones. They are connected to a mobile application and can be turned on and off, as well as determining if there is a peak in energy consumption and controlling it in real time by cutting off its supply.

In order to speed up installation, wireless ones will also be a great novelty. They work through the Wi-Fi network, to which the devices you must manage are also connected. This allows more than one to be linked at a time and will be possible thanks to the growing and imminent extension of 5G.

There is a resource that will not take too long to appear, and it is time synchronization. With a little adjustment, it will be possible to optimize the operation of the switches when they are controlling lighting systems—both internal and external. To do this, the sunrise and sunset will be programmed, as well as the time zone.

M2B, towards the switches of the future

From now on, identifying a contemporary switch manufactured by M2B will become increasingly easier. The reason is that they are consolidating a practical and minimalist model. It has a digital and touch screen, with excellent touch sensitivity, which allows you to carry out different tasks, such as measuring energy savings or reducing the lighting intensity.

A change that will also be very relevant is the inclusion of motion sensors. They help minimize energy expenditure and personalize it based on habits. There are our models that can be linked to the air conditioning to turn on when the presence of a person in the room is detected.

Among the forecasts, it is also expected that they will be able to accurately analyze their electricity expenditure. On a weekly or monthly basis, the client will receive a detailed report on their mobile application. This clearly reflects one of the purposes of M2B; in fact, some models with these new features are already being marketed for our intermediaries.

A review of the switches of the future is enough to understand that this device will undergo a shocking evolution. The objective is to help create comfortable, sustainable and agile homes, as well as give a decisive boost to home automation. Of course, two goals that are in accordance with our values.
