At the CEDIA Smart Home Awards at London’s Natural History Museum, Easing won three awards for The Hidden Grove in Belgium: Best Integrated Home Level VI for Europe, the Middle East and Africa, Excellence in Networking and Global Integrated Home. The last of these makes The Hidden Grove the world’s best integrated home.
At Architect@Work Brussels, held on 20 and 21 May 2026 at Tour & Taxis, Easing demonstrated at stand 87 how home automation enhances a high-end residential project without dominating it visually. One integrated approach, one point of contact and an app that reflects the project’s style. Bruno Erpicum’s Villa L was the central example.

Invisible speakers go a step further: installed flush with plasterboard or plaster, they can be covered by up to 3 mm of finishing material. In wood or natural stone, Easing reduces a speaker to a 75 mm opening, covered in the same material.
Designer switches bring aesthetics and technology together: one button sets a complete scene, in a material and finish that suit the design. Many KNX switches also include a thermostat and humidity sensor, allowing more precise control of underfloor heating and ceiling cooling without additional wall devices. Easing works with dozens of manufacturers.

It makes LEDs behave like traditional halogen spotlights: the lower the light, the warmer and cosier it feels. It requires specific LED modules, consistent choices for spotlights and LED strips, and compatible controls.
