The offer presented was aimed at installers, electricians and those planning professional development in the technical field - both those starting out on their journey and professionals interested in expanding their competences with advanced Smart Home and building automation systems.
ELTAKO is one of Europe's leading companies, offering quality, expertise and innovation in building control for over 75 years. The company was founded in 1949 in Fellbach (Baden-Württemberg) and operates as a family business, now in its third generation. Over the decades, the brand has established itself as a reliable supplier in the electrical installation industry, specialising in radio solutions and smart home applications for installation and control technology.
The company's development represents a fascinating technological journey - from the presentation of the first pulse switch, through electronic installation relays and radio systems, to the launch of the advanced Professional Smart Home line in 2018. In 2008, this was followed by joining the EnOcean Alliance, which confirmed the focus on smart solutions based on open standards that allow devices from different manufacturers to work together in a single system. The mission and aspiration to create a higher level of 'smart living' is perfectly reflected in the slogan: 'THE HOME OF INNOVATION'.
The company's offer is based on two main product categories: Professional Smart Home and Professional Standard, which are used in lighting, shading, climate control and security systems.
- Professional Standard: a time-tested line dedicated to classic building installations. The devices are directly connected to each other and do not use radio communication. These solutions are valued above all for their simple commissioning and numerous variants that facilitate everyday operation.
- Professional Smart Home: A portfolio distinguished by its flexibility and versatility. The system allows classic control (buttons, sensors), modern control (smartphone, smart home controllers, voice control) and the creation of advanced automation and scenes, allowing the entire living space to be customised with a single click. These solutions are also being successfully used in commercial buildings (as Professional Smart Building).
Whether the technology is implemented in new construction, during renovation, modernisation or as part of small-scale home projects, users are provided with a comprehensive and perfectly tailored portfolio.
The ELTAKO presentation at Smart Home Expo 2026:
Responding to the growing needs of the market, the latest offering, the 64 Series, has been unveiled. It is a new generation of compact actuators for lighting, shading and switching. In its current form, the range includes a roller shutter controller, two switching relays and a universal dimmer.
Key advantages of Series 64 presented at the event:
- Fast configuration and Matter standard: the devices can be configured instantly using the ELTAKO Connect app. Importantly, the Series 64 works with the Matter smart home standard, working with ecosystems such as Apple Home, Alexa, Google Home, SmartThings and Home Assistant.
- Easy expandability: the system can be easily expanded with battery-free EnOcean components as required.
- Compactness and reliability: The devices are designed with transparency in mind - they are compact and very easy to use, making them an ideal choice for both new developments and retrofits, without having to face complex technology.
In line with its philosophy of creating simple and useful solutions for years to come, the company intends to systematically expand the 64 Series.
