Nova Smart Switch by VDA Telkonet, designed by GENSLER

Nova Smart Switch by VDA Telkonet is an advanced building solution designed to enhance comfort, energy efficiency and design integration within hospitality environments. Its modular architecture allows finishes to be replaced without modifying the internal electronics, extending the product lifecycle and reducing material waste.

Designed by Gensler, Nova combines refined aesthetics with functional intelligence, offering a balance between design flexibility and technological performance. The collection includes a multi-sensor smart thermostat with an OLED LCD display and a series of fully customizable keypads that control lighting, curtains, blinds, and programmable environmental scenarios. Nova also integrates Do Not Disturb (DND) and Make Up Room (MUR) functions, visible externally through a room-number panel with door-access options.

Available in wired and wireless versions, it supports both new constructions and retrofit projects, ensuring easy installation across global wall-box standards. Made in Italy with finishes in glass, metal, and polycarbonate, Nova adapts to any interior style, offering options in black or white with elegant LED illumination. Through seamless integration with VDA Telkonet’s Rhapsody EMS and Etheos GRMS platforms, Nova optimizes HVAC performance, regulates room conditions based on occupancy and enables centralized cloud management.

Its patented Recovery Time Algorithm ensures energy savings and comfort, making Nova a future-proof and sustainable building element.
