Attention to Aesthetics

There’s something in this update for designers and dealers alike: “In addition to the great color match across the parts, the alignment of those parts is superb with this upgrade,” says Slivka. “The backlight quality and features in this line are as good — or even better than anything we offer.” With calibrated backlights that match across devices, they’re capable of tunable white (ranging from dim to warm and circadian lighting). “We’ve separately backlit indicators and bargraphs, and they come in multiple styles,” he adds.

As for the buttons themselves, the Cameo 2 keypad line offers inividually replaceable button types in up to six positions, all with the ability to program side-to-side rockers to allow for any configuration that might be needed. “Those buttons are discretely replaceable, too — even without a tool,” says Slivka, making for more flexibility than ever before. Additionally, the line fits in standard decorator openings, so it can be installed next to other manufacturers’ devices while improving the standard decorator experience. “You don’t always need the extra cost of a bespoke solution like our Horizon keypad products, and this is where the Cameo 2 keypad comes in,” he says.

That flexibility of the design earlier allows dealers to cater to the needs of their customers (and their customers’ designers) for both interacting with the device and matching the aesthetic in their space — and helps dealers inject their own creativity into a project. “There’s quite the attention to detail here, such as separate indicators that make feedback clearer for some users,” says Slivka. “But most importantly, I think, is that all of the devices makes for a consistent user experience everywhere in the home.”
