Handmade and developed in Belgium, Sentido is a multifunctional design keypad that intuitively controls lighting effortlessly. It comes in various high-quality finishes that beautifully complement modern interiors. The switch is a touch-sensitive control panel that allows for easy management of lights, scenes, shades, HVAC systems, and even music, thanks to its patented multitouch technology.
Designed by Klaas Arnout and Sandra Maes, Sentido is a reinvented light switch by Basalte. Its entire surface is touch-sensitive for a user-friendly experience, allowing control of lights, shades, and scenes with minimal effort. The built-in temperature sensor and integrated thermostat ensure efficient climate management.
Sentido features a minimalist aesthetic and is crafted from high-quality materials, resulting in a timeless design. It is available in premium finishes, such as bronze, aluminum, or brass, making it an ideal choice for home automation systems.
Lights, shades, and scenes can be adjusted with the slightest touch. The distinctive multitouch function enables users to easily dim the room to achieve the desired ambiance. An internal temperature sensor discreetly monitors the room temperature, while the integrated thermostat function manages climate control.
