Legrand's new Synergy lighting controls are the newest addition to the home systems range, which is designed to provide simple to install, but high feature components that enable designers and installers to economically create smart homes of varying degrees and complexities.

The scope for this technology covers everything from a one room lighting control system through to full house systems that include features such as sound and video distribution, together with multispace lighting scenario provision.
The new controls integrate with Legrand's Synergy range of wiring devices and provide the user with both recognisable and smart controls. The recognisable being separate switch and dimmer functions, while the lighting control scenario switch can be used to activate preset lighting levels.
Alastair Ramsay, Marketing Manager at Legrand UK, commented: ''Smart home technology has been around in the electrical industry for many years, but it is only recently that solutions have been developed, such as our home systems range, which turn it into a workable reality.''
''The new Synergy lighting controls are a key part of the smart picture on the basis they allow for a straightforward means of providing homeowners with a new level of control.''
The scope for the lighting scenarios which the control can create is virtually limitless and can be tied in with different smart home types. For example, a preset lighting scenario could contribute to reducing energy use through the simple action of a single switch push that turns off or dims a series of light sources within a home. Similarly, the same control could be programmed to create a series of mood lighting scenarios that are ideal for everything from watching a film on TV to reading. And what's more, these different scenarios can be controlled by remote control from the comfort of an armchair.
Admittedly, it all sounds very complex, but from an installation point of view the Synergy modules couldn't be simpler. The range has been designed to operate via mains power, meaning it needs nothing more than the live, neutral and earth cables that are already installed and in use in any electrical installation to operate.
''This technology really does have enormous potential,'' added Alastair. ''And when you consider that what we're offering allows for the easy and economical provision of sophisticated technological features, which add both perceived and actual value to any home, then I'm sure nobody will disagree that the Legrand home system will play a popular and significant role in the growth of smart home technology.''
