Australian distributor Automated has teamed up with Black Nova to deliver a whole new range to customers.

Black Nova is brand and technology agnostic and aims to elevate the smart design keypad to a pure design object that is not tied to any technology or control platform.

The Black Nova Smart Design Keypads Collections, ARIA and ALBA, connect with a wide range of third-party systems, and are becoming the modern and stylish interface to control lighting, climate, shades, etc.

They are available in a growing range of control systems including RS485, Control4, Crestron Home, Lutron, Schneider Electric and KNX. The Black Nova smart gateway, NOVA Hub, supports most of the third-party devices and popular communication protocols.

Black Nova chief executive, Olav Beruto, says: “We are thrilled to have entered into a strategic agreement with Automated for the ANZ region. We deeply love our Italian design keypads, a perfect blend of pure design and innovative technology. We believe our ARIA, ALBA, and ANY collections will provide the perfect match to any interior and taste, while delivering a unique and flawless user experience.”
