What it is
Summary
AI-generated from vendor-published content · April 26, 2026
These are wireless switches designed to send a single activation signal to the EnvirON environmental control system — letting a user turn on a lamp, change a TV channel, or adjust a radio volume without needing to physically reach or press a button on the device itself. They're intended for people with significant motor limitations who cannot reliably operate standard controls, whether in a classroom, therapy setting, or home. The switches come in two sizes (125mm and 75mm diameter) and four colors, which can be useful for color-coding or matching a user's visual and physical access needs. This is not a standalone solution — these switches only function as part of the broader EnvirON system and require the EnvirON Hub or compatible receiver, which is sold separately.

What Setup Looks Like
- Out of the box
Press the switch to confirm it produces a signal — basic activation requires no configuration. - With a guide
- Pair each switch to the EnvirON Hub following the manufacturer's pairing instructions.
- Assign each switch to a specific appliance or function within the EnvirON system interface.
- Test activation distance and placement in the intended environment — allow 30–60 minutes for setup and testing.
- See manufacturer support resources for detailed instructions.
- With professional help
- An occupational therapist (OT) or assistive technology professional (ATP) should assess the user's motor access to determine appropriate switch size, placement, and activation force.
- Integration with a scanning system or AAC device may require additional programming by an ATP — expect 1–2 sessions.
