Joshua Hammerton, Co-Founder at Enkin and former electrician, considers the demand for smart lighting and the need for it to work effortlessly for electricians.
As demand for smart lighting continues to surge, we find ourselves at the centre of a rapidly evolving market. Customers now expect their homes and commercial spaces to be seamlessly connected, energy-efficient and voice-controlled.
However, we all know not all smart systems work perfectly. Some can be unreliable, complex to install or difficult to integrate into existing wiring setups.
This is where Enkin has stepped up to the next level. Our ZDM150 Zigbee dimmer proves cutting-edge smart technology can be both powerful and practical, with a design that had professional installers in mind every step of the way.
Built for electricians, engineered for the smart era
Our smart dimmers offer compatibility, hassle-free integration and robust Zigbee connectivity. Unlike Bluetooth-based devices, Zigbee operates on a self-healing web network, meaning every connected product strengthens the overall system. For installers, that means fewer call-backs and reliable long-term performance.
Our Zigbee smart dimmer is compact, fitting standard back boxes and featuring a simple wiring layout. This makes it suitable for new build and retrofit installations, ensuring the job is both quick and straightforward. A breath of fresh air to all installers!
We wanted to give electricians a solution they can trust, something that installs quickly, performs reliably and stays stable in real home conditions. To this end, the ZDM150 also has a compact, intuitive design which is easy to work with and install.
Smart tech, simple install
Despite its intelligence, the ZDM150 keeps things simple. Once installed, it connects easily and quickly to Amazon Alexa, Google Home and other Zigbee hubs, allowing your customers to have full smart control through Apps, voice commands and automation routines.
These smart dimmers still offer manual dimming functionality, giving users control, even when the network is offline. This dimmer has wiring options for both retractive and two-way retractive switches, meaning that you can still control your lights manually, as well as with your device.
Smart technology should enhance an electrician’s work, not complicate it. Our goal is to make advanced lighting control accessible to every installer, without the need for you to become IT specialists. The ZDM150 is a perfect example of how we’re achieving that.
As the demand for energy-efficient, user-friendly lighting control grows, companies are racing to meet both consumer expectations and professional installation needs. Our strategy, combining smart connectivity with solid electrical engineering, places us at the forefront.
From classic rotary dimmers to fully integrated smart solutions, our mission is simple: deliver lighting controls that work, products that are reliable, easy to install, stylish and safe.
