Xelent Modular Switch Panel

Xelent

Xelent is a modular switch panel for smart homes. The panel combines a 2.8 mm ultra thin frame with a patented magnetic snap fit system, so the surface sits flush with the wall within plus or minus 0.2 mm. A modular 31.7 mm grid supports 4, 6 or 8 key layouts for different rooms. A time of flight sensor detects users from 10 to 100 cm and supports proactive control instead of passive response. A temperature algorithm forecasts changes and pre-adjusts heating and cooling. The eye care lighting system raises brightness gradually over three seconds.

Xelent Modular Switch Panel by Hdl Automation Co., Ltd. has been recognized as a creative example of product design by the A' Design Award & Competition. Xelent Modular Switch Panel won the Silver A' Design Award in Smart Living and Home Automation Design in 2026. The A' Smart Living and Home Automation Design Award is an international, jury-voted, fair and ethical design accolade that recognizes outstanding design of smart thermostats, automated lighting systems, intelligent security cameras, robotic vacuum cleaners, smart door locks, Voice-Activated assistants, connected appliances, automated irrigation systems and more.
