TAP Switches
The Smart 27 features a number of the Faradite TAP Volt free switches.

In the master bedroom, the 2 bedside TAP switches control the lighting scenes in the room as well as the rooms audio zone and the curtains.
In the second bedroom the bedside TAP switch provides control of Lighting scenes, audio and shading as in the master bedroom.

Walking into the same room during the middle of the night will mean the only the lighting is switched on to a low level scene so as not to disturb any other guests.
