Plan Legrand BTicino LivingNow KNX keypads for luxury homes in Singapore. HAP helps homeowners, designers and contractors integrate designer wall control for lighting scenes, curtains, room control and wider smart home automation.
Quick Answer: What Is LivingNow KNX?
Legrand BTicino LivingNow KNX is a designer keypad and smart switch solution for KNX-based smart home projects. In Singapore luxury homes, it is commonly planned for lighting scenes, curtain control, room control and wider home automation integration where a clean wall finish and reliable wired control are important.
HAP helps homeowners, interior designers and contractors plan LivingNow KNX keypads before wiring, wall panels, carpentry and finishing details are confirmed. For a broader explanation of wired KNX systems, see HAP’s KNX home automation Singapore guide.
The Art of Control: BTicino LivingNow by Legrand
In the world of luxury residential design in Singapore, the choice of a wall switch is no longer a functional afterthought. It is a design statement. The Legrand BTicino LivingNow KNX keypad represents a paradigm shift in home control, blending minimalist Italian aesthetics with the uncompromising reliability of the KNX protocol.
As specialists in smart home systems for landed houses in Singapore, HAP recognizes that Homeowners renovating landed houses, penthouses and luxury condominiums often need smart switches that look refined while remaining practical for daily control. LivingNow delivers this through its award-winning "full-touch" interface, where the switch plate remains perfectly flat, providing a sleek, architectural finish that complements any high-end interior.
Sophisticated Design for Discerning Interiors
The LivingNow range is defined by three core aesthetic principles: pure lines, a flat surface, and material authenticity. Unlike traditional switches that pivot or rock, the LivingNow "Full Touch" controls can be pressed at any point—top, bottom, or center—to trigger your desired scene.
Monolithic Aesthetic
The cover plates are designed to create a "floating" effect on the wall. When the KNX keypad is installed, it sits perfectly flush, maintaining the integrity of your wall treatments, whether they are wood veneers, marble panels, or bespoke wallpapers.
Premium Finishes
Beyond the standard White, Sand, and Black, LivingNow offers an array of high-quality materials including metallic finishes like Bronze, Champagne, and Steel. These allow for seamless coordination with architectural hardware and luxury lighting fixtures.
Customizable Icons
Each button on a LivingNow KNX keypad can be laser-engraved with intuitive icons for lighting, curtains, or temperature, ensuring every guest in your home can operate the system with ease.
LivingNow as Part of the Interior Design
For luxury homes, LivingNow should not be selected like a normal switch. The final result depends on the keypad format, wall material, cover plate finish, button layout and how the control point sits within the interior design. HAP helps homeowners and designers plan LivingNow KNX as part of the renovation detail, not as an afterthought.
2-Module or 3-Module Format
The choice between 2-module and 3-module LivingNow layouts should depend on wall size, room function and how many controls should be visible. HAP helps avoid overcrowded switch walls while keeping daily control practical.
Light, Dark and Metallic Finish Direction
LivingNow finishes should be selected together with wall panels, paint colour, timber veneer, stone, door hardware and lighting details, so the keypad feels intentional within the room.
Flush Look, Panel Alignment and Keypad Position
For premium interiors, the keypad should align with wall grooves, panels, carpentry lines and room entrances. HAP coordinates the control point early so it looks built into the home, not added later.
Images are for design planning reference only. Final LivingNow keypad format, finish and layout will depend on actual product selection and project requirements.
Why Choose the KNX Version for Your Singapore Residence?
While the LivingNow range includes different system approaches, HAP focuses on the KNX-based LivingNow direction for larger renovation and luxury residential projects where reliability, local control and long-term planning are important. Here is why:
- Future-Proof Reliability: KNX is a worldwide standard supported by over 500 manufacturers. It does not rely on a single brand's ecosystem, ensuring your home remains smart for decades.
- Hardwired Stability: In large landed properties where Wi-Fi interference can be a challenge, the KNX bus system provides a dedicated wired path for commands, supporting fast, stable and dependable response for daily control.
- Intelligent Feedback: The LivingNow KNX keypads feature programmable RGB LEDs. HAP can program these to indicate status—for example, a soft blue glow when the air conditioning is active, or a red pulse if the security system is armed.

Seamless Integration: The HAP Ecosystem
At HAP, we believe a smart home should be felt, not seen. We integrate the Legrand BTicino LivingNow KNX keypads into a wider, unified ecosystem. This means your designer keypads on the wall talk perfectly to other high-end systems in your home.
Control4 & LivingNow Integration
While BTicino provides the physical interface, HAP often utilizes Control4 as the central "brain" of the home. By using a KNX-to-IP gateway, we allow LivingNow keypads to trigger complex macros across your Control4 system. A single press on a LivingNow keypad in the foyer can turn off all lights, close the motorized curtains, set the AC to energy-saving mode, and arm the security system.
Curtain, Climate, and AV Control
The LivingNow KNX keypad is far more than a light switch. Through HAP’s expert programming, a 6-button keypad can manage:
- Lighting Scenes: "Entertain," "Movie," "Relax," and "All Off."
- Climate: Temperature adjustment and fan speed control for Daikin, Mitsubishi, or VRV systems.
- Shades & Curtains: Precise control of Somfy or Lutron motorized tracks.
- Audio: Basic volume and track control for your Bowers & Wilkins multi-room audio system.
A Designer's Guide: Planning for LivingNow in Singapore
Installing a Legrand BTicino LivingNow KNX system requires meticulous planning during the early stages of renovation or construction. HAP works closely with architects and interior designers to ensure a flawless execution.
1. Keypad Positioning & Logic
We consult on the optimal height and location for every keypad. Instead of "wall acne"—clusters of multiple switches—we consolidate all functions into a single LivingNow 3-module frame, keeping your walls clean and minimalist.
2. Wall Finish Coordination
LivingNow offers a unique "in-wall" installation option for an ultra-flush look. We coordinate with your contractors to ensure the back-box depth and wall cut-outs are precise, particularly when working with luxury materials like stone or custom millwork.
3. Scene Programming
The true power of a KNX keypad lies in its logic. HAP spends time understanding your lifestyle to program buttons that make sense. We don't just label buttons; we create experiences.
