In the more than 1 year that the world has been affected by the epidemic, a shift in the way people work and live has begun to take place. Many Middle Eastern countries have seen a significant increase in the use of digital payments, which means that people are relying more and more closely on their mobile phones. With wall switches being a mandatory purchase for traditional home and public works, people are demanding more in terms of product performance and experience.

Traditional switches and sockets continue to occupy a large proportion of the import/export market at present, and consumers have identified a number of problems with the switch and socket products that are all too familiar in everyday use.

1) The open switch socket has a low level of protection, which makes it easy for water vapour to enter.

2) Long-term pressure is prone to fatigue failure, manifested by the loss of elasticity of the keys.

3) Limited panel space and functional limitations.

4) The need to operate the switch on site and the lack of flexibility.

In addition to the above four disadvantages, at a time when the epidemic has been recurring and different users are alternately in contact with switchgear products, it also gives the virus an easier way to spread, and the demand for smart switchgear sockets continues to rise.

In response to these shortcomings, intelligent switches and sockets have been developed to make up for consumers' demand for humanised, technological products of this kind.

1. Under wet environment, you can choose the acrylic panel of the smart switch. This type of switch panel adopts the whole acrylic cutting with high light transmission. It’s not fragile, and very good at waterproof and dustproof protection.

2. Different from the traditional press switch, smart switch usually uses touch or mobile phone interconnection to control the work of the switch. At the transition stage from traditional switches to smart switches, there are also some humanized designs, such as using keys and mobile phone interconnection synchronization. On the one hand, for consumers who are used to the traditional switches, the keys are retained. On the other hand, you can also experience the convenience of remote control of the smart switch in different rooms or outdoors.

3. Smart switches can usually be interconnected with mobile phones and other devices, so in terms of functionality, they are not restricted by the panel area. Currently common on the market are those with room temperature, humidity and time display at the same time, and you can set the switch time and adjust the intensity of the lights.

4. There is no more user-friendly experience than remote control. Think of a cold night when you don't have to get out of the blanket and shiver just to turn off the lights. If you are away on a business trip and you think that your home appliances are not switched off, you can also control them remotely, so you don't have to worry about the safety hazards associated with them working when no one is home.

At the same time, at a time when the epidemic has not yet completely passed, the risk of transmission from indirect human-to-human contact is avoided in terms of the path of transmission of the virus.

Smart switches bring us more than just ease of use. With the recurring epidemic, a variety of humane smart switches have become small objects that regulate people's enthusiasm for life in an environment where they cannot go out shopping or travel. Let's take a look at these different smart switch designs below.

1. Intelligent switches with room temperature, humidity and time display at the same time.

These smart switches do not require rewiring, eliminating the need to replace wiring due to switch replacement. It usually takes just 5 minutes to set up. There is a screen on the switch that displays basic information such as the humidity in the room, the date and time, and the weather outside, allowing you to simply have an organized control of everything on a busy morning. You can switch the lights on and off remotely from your mobile phone. With the popularity of smartphones today, you can check the control status of different devices by simply loading the relevant app. It can also be pressed to control, and qualified switches on the market today will have a brass base and sterling silver contacts, making the product safe and durable.

2. Smart switches with acrylic material panel.

In humid environments such as bathrooms, we often worry that traditional panels are susceptible to moisture, which can affect the life and safety of the switch. The acrylic full face plate smart switch has a full acrylic surface that fits closely to the internal fittings, so even when used in a humid bathroom environment, you don't have to worry about moisture entering the internal components and thus compromising safety. The glossy acrylic material itself also makes the overall environment look more elegant and dynamic, and very many young people like this style.

3. Remote control by mobile phone internet system.

With the increasing popularity of smartphones, the interconnection of switches with mobile phones has moved from a bold idea to a reality. And the demand for this type of switch, which can be controlled remotely via an app, is showing a rising trend. On the one hand, people don't have to get up in the night to turn switches on or off. On the other hand, when you are out and about and suddenly remember that the switch at home is left on, you can choose to use the traditional switch experience and rush home in a hurry to turn the switch off, or you can enjoy the elegant experience that smart technology brings you on the APP, simply by opening your phone and pressing a button.

This category of APP-connected smart switches also allows you to set the switch on and off at regular intervals, or to set different parameters depending on the scenario. Imagine that after you have finished work, the timer program on the APP has given the kitchen a scent, and you are greeted by a warm, welcoming light when you enter - it all becomes very easy and cozy.

The constant fluctuation of the global epidemic has led to a stronger humanized demand for wall switches in a living environment where smartphones are popular. The multi-data display, acrylic panel and APP remote control have allowed more and more users to enjoy the convenience and wonderful enjoyment that technology brings to their lives. These development trends will make wall switches develop in an increasingly technological and humanistic direction.
