The Design
About Xelent モジュラースイッチパネル
Xelentは、スマートホーム向けのモジュラースイッチパネルです。本パネルは2.8mmの極薄フレームと特許取得済みのマグネット式スナップフィット機構を組み合わせることで、表面が壁面とプラスマイナス0.2mm以内の精度でフラットに一体化します。31.7mmのモジュラーグリッドにより、部屋ごとに4キー、6キー、8キーのレイアウトに対応可能です。ToF(Time of Flight)センサーが10cmから100cmの範囲でユーザーを検知し、受動的な反応ではなく能動的な先読み操作を実現します。温度アルゴリズムは変化を予測し、冷暖房を事前に調整します。アイケア照明システムは、3秒かけて明るさを段階的に上昇させます。

- Unique Properties
- Xelent merges technologies with architectural aesthetics via 3 core innovations, a 2.8 mm ultra thin embedded design, proactive intelligent interaction, and a sustainable modular structure—reshaping the future of spatial interaction. A patented magnetic snap fit system allows it to sit flush with the wall with a deviation of plus and minus 0.2 mm. A dual orientation design creates spatial order. With HDL algorithm and AI scene engine, it anticipates user actions for smart, seamless interaction.

- Production Technology
- With a patented magnetic snap fit system, Xelent integrates a 2.8 mm ultra thin frame with a universal mounting base. Its custom embedded backbox enables component recessing, allowing it to be at the wall level with a deviation of plus and minus 0.2 mm and making it a structural part of the wall itself. A modular 31.7 mm grid layout supports flexible 4, 6, or 8 key combinations, adapting to diverse scenarios, from multibutton control in kitchens to simple button mode in bedrooms.
- Design Challenge
- The challenge lies in achieving the seamless integration of minimalist hardware and intelligent software. Xelent pioneers a 2.8 mm ultra thin embedded modular switch panel at the wall level and marks the shift from passive response to proactive prediction. It features a high precision TOF human detection system that accurately senses the distance between the user and the panel with an adjustable sensing range from 10 to 100 cm, ensuring an intuitive and convenient interaction.
- Research
- Xelent introduces the notion of the seamless evolution of wall mounted switch panel, driving the seamless integration of switch panel into the wall. Built upon a modular structure and made from quality materials, it creates the next generation smart panels by merging architectural aesthetics with intuitive digital interaction, enabling panels to recede into the environment—achieving minimal visual disruption and maximum functional freedom, enhancing the intelligence and aesthetic of homes.
- Inspiration
- Inspired by the future vision of device free smart living, the panel is designed to blend seamlessly into the space, becoming a natural extension of the environment rather than a visual intrusion. It also responds to the growing expectations of users for smarter interaction by shifting from traditional passive responses to proactive behavior prediction, with the goal of creating a more user friendly, convenient, comfortable, and intelligent environment.
- Project Duration
- Designed and developed in Guangzhou in March 2025, the product is expected to be launched in China in December 2025.
- Operation Flow
- With selfdeveloped HDL temperature algorithm, it is able to sense temp fluctuation within plus or minus one degree Celsius and forecast temp trends in 15 minutes, enabling the preadjustment of HVAC systems.
The eyecare lighting system uses a 3 second soft start algorithm to gradually increase brightness, ideal for bedrooms and rooms for children. With precision dot matrix lighting simulating screen breathing effects, the screen mimicking dynamic light offers an immersive interactive experience. - Team Members
