White is the new black
Despite the myriad of styles and finishes available for wiring accessories, we have found that simple, white accessories remain the bread and butter for the electrical contractor. The Click Mode range is still our best-selling wiring accessories collection to date. Installers have a key role to play in driving trends as they are the ones working with the products that are being developed. There will always be demand from installers for high quality, flexible and modern wiring accessory solutions. The smooth, contemporary lines of the Mode accessory plates means they will fit easily into traditional and contemporary designs alike, and the modular design allows installers unprecedented flexibility in creating dedicated wiring solutions to deal with specific wiring needs.
When selecting wiring accessories installers have often had to compromise their schemes as they have been unable to identify a suitably flexible solution to satisfy their ideas. Mode accessories have been providing that flexibility, with a comprehensive selection of products that covers all install requirements.
Smart wiring accessories
The UK smart home market is experiencing exponential growth, with the development of integrated home technology moving faster than ever before. Almost every household today includes some sort of smart connectivity device as more consumers become aware of the benefits that smart technology can offer.
Smart plugs are often one of the first smart products that householders acquire, allowing them, via app control, to turn on and off any appliance plugged into the smart plug. The latest development is to integrate smart technology directly into the sockets and switches. These Wi-Fi-enabled switches also have voice control options that integrate with popular AI voice assistants. If your phone is not in reach, simply beckon your smart digital assistants to make the adjustment you’re looking for. The touch plates require no manual buttons or screws, so the design looks clean and sleek in any interior setting.
As smart homes or home automation continues to develop, the focus is moving from the ultra-high-end customer and is becoming an affordable reality for many households. This is leading to increasing demand for smart home systems, which are designed to simplify and streamline a range of
connected home products – lighting controls, smart sockets, security cameras and sensors.
The new Click Smart+ smart home solution is one such system, and it has at its core accessibility and simplicity for the installer and end user – both key components in this developing trend for smart automation. It is designed to bring convenience, comfort, security, energy saving and ultimately more control in the home. The bespoke Click Smart+ App gives householders ultimate control of the smart devices, which can also be operated through voice control in conjunction with a smart speaker. From the installer point of view, installation is simple and flexible, with no additional cables or wall cutting required, making it ideal for existing or newly constructed buildings.
The trend for smart homes and the benefits they offer, shows no sign of abating and the continual development of innovative and intuitive products and systems, such as the Click Smart+ range, will assist installers looking to boost their business with an enhanced smart home offer that will deliver a complete connected home experience to householders.
