  • Homes are becoming more and more connected however, smart home solutions are often complex, require the entire switch grid to be replaced, or don't work with the existing wall plates at all. The 2AX Switch Module design allows the easy upgrade of our Iconic switch plates to a connected smart switch in minutes. The module requires no special mounting in the wall as it is compatible with all the standard mounting in the Pacific region and is easily scalable to a full smart home experience through the use of our app and connection to other devices.

  • The Iconic 2AX Connected Switch module brings connected functionality to a standard switch grid in seconds through its unique modular design and small form factor. It enables users to quickly access connected functions such as smart timing and setting scenes. Through the ability to connect to gateways and voice controls via external hubs, the 2AX module gives the end-user the ability to scale up to a full smart home experience. The design highlights its unique functions to installers by revealing its innovation and cubic PCB arrangement within its transparent casing and tiny overall size.

  • The 2AX Module enables homeowners to gain better control over their energy use by making the house more energy-efficient through saving electricity and reducing carbon emissions. The smart timer function, one of the key integrated features of the module, ensures that lights and fans do not stay on longer than required within the home. The Iconic Connected Switch can be scaled up into a full smart home ecosystem through the connection between other smart devices. In addition, the Iconic 2AX Module can be programmed to serve as an eco-button that switches all lights and appliances off when leaving the house.

  • Electricians benefit from the modular nature allowing them to install the connected module in seconds through the interaction with the locking bar on the switch grid. The terminals are shrouded to limit the accidental contact with live parts and have a funneled opening to improve the entry of cables so the install process is not only safer but also easier and cleaner. Connecting the module to our mobile app enables a range of functions including dimming, smart timing, and scene-setting. The 2AX Switch Module can also be connected to other devices to enable voice control or added to an existing smart home ecosystem. Clipsal and its parent company Schneider Electric are the leaders in the digitization of homes. The 2AX's innovation and unique mechanisms allow switches to integrate into today's connected world with ease. The unique cubic PCB arrangement which surrounds the switching relay allows the creation of the smallest connected switch mechanism with integrated terminals in the world. The product's small form factor allows for multiple modules to be installed into one grid plate, an essential requirement for the Pacific market, and allows the terminals to be incorporated into the module which reduces the need for any additional cables.
