Legrand’s Building Control Systems (BCS) division has released the Vantage EasyTouch Glass modular keypad station. It combines the functionality of the Legrand keypad with colour options and a contemporary design that matches other products in the Legrand range.

The keypad is available with five programmable buttons for different scenes like ‘welcome’, ‘away’ or ‘party’ which lets user change the lighting of their room in just one touch. The EasyTouch Glass becomes the pre-programmed default keypad station within Vantage’s Design Center software.

Its button matrix is also the same as wired or wireless wall box dimmers, which lets integrators select the best technology for their application while maintaining a consistent aesthetic.

While other solutions separate load and scene functionality into different devices, EasyTouch Glass combines both into a single station, letting installers reduce the number of keypads on the walls for a cleaner look.

Ideal for use as both a stand-alone keypad and in combination with Vantage’s Equinox touch screens, as well as with wireless applications, the device is simple to install in one to four-gang electrical boxes.

“Our EasyTouch Glass provides an elegant design to complement the aesthetics of the modern smart home,” Vantage product manager Mark Moody says.

“In addition, its available colour options are matched with other Legrand products including receptacles and nightlights, providing a consistent look above and below the chair rail. And with its programmable buttons and adjustable backlighting, EasyTouch Glass is a world apart from other keypads on the market when it comes to functionality.”
