The Re-evolution of Smart Living
While the smart home devices become more popular, innovation never stops. The Integrated Wired and Wireless Wall Switch, produced by SwitchMap, can control up to 24 appliances. Aiden Ho, the Director of SwitchMap, aims at continuously improving the quality of life with new technologies.

Technological advancement creates flexibility to the exterior design. Traditional wall switches are in square shapes with sharp corners for an easy installation of a row of switches. When only one wall switch is needed, shapes can change more freely. The product of SwitchMap is therefore with rounded corners with the concept of roundness, “It implies the cycle of time as the product can be used every day and night. At the same time, it represents the wholeness in a family,", Aiden explains.
 

The Local Application of Technology
As most local buildings are concrete buildings with a relative low floor height, large adjustment is needed in applying the technology originated from overseas. After a lot of hard work, Aiden is confident in the function and stability of the product. Design contests, such as the Hong Kong Smart Design Award, further helps to raise the market attention, "These awards show that there are many design talents in Hong Kong. I hope the public will give more attention to the local products, ", said Aiden.
