Eave
Eave is a smart control panel for home automation. The design is inspired by the landscape of Jiangnan water towns, with horizontal eave lines and a vertical pattern that suggests flowing water. The body is made of 6063 aluminium alloy for corrosion and scratch resistance. The button cover has a sandblasted anodised finish with a stone-like texture, and the knob is mirror polished. Control is possible by knob, button or mobile application. The knob indicator shows the working status through light effects. An elderly care mode sends sleep status and fall alerts to caregivers.
