Eikon TACTIL – The future is now
A technological jewel as pure as a diamond, as light as a feather. To transform your everyday gestures into exceptional moments.
Love at first touch
With a simple gesture, this sophisticated touch technology transforms into direct energy control.
Sensitive to your presence
Eikon Tactil is home automation intelligence, it reads your mind: the proximity sensor on the home automation system controller brings it to life as soon as you come near the device.The controls light up, ready for your touch.

Eikon EVO – Luxury is unveiled
A tribute to the beauty of the shapes, fine finishes and functional elegance. To give your rooms unparalleled charm.
Imperceptible seen from the side
An impeccable, lightweight, slim silhouette that stands out just a few millimetres from the wall, with axial buttons. Viewed from the side, Eikon Evo is unobtrusive and delicately appealing, in line with the latest interior design trends.
Masterful geometries
Shapes that are designed to catch the eye, in sizes that are unobtrusive on the wall: Eikon Evo flaunts a sophisticated and well-defined image that embodies the aesthetic principles of Vimar.
Unique materials
Eight different ways of being, living and interpreting luxury. The Eikon Evo styles are inspired by the latest living trends, embodying and enhancing them in a unique and personal way with original combinations of materials, colours and finishes.
Eikon Chrome and Total Look – It’s all in the details
A new definition of style where the details take centre stage. To stand out without imposing.
Instantly recognisable
Beauty is concealed behind the detail. Such as the chrome-plated, shiny and smooth Eikon Chrome frame that surrounds the buttons and controls.
Both perfectly formed
Symmetrical, rigid lines or smooth, rounded edges? Eikon Chrome responds to all needs with its Classic and Round designs.
Eclectic materials
The materials are multiplied by five, the colours interpret with amazing exactingness many different living styles: the versatility of Eikon Chrome always keeps impeccable formal elegance.
Eikon Total Look – Colour coordinated
The highest expression of simplicity, in shape and colour. For control with no compromise.
Essential colours
Light and bright white, elegant and refined anthracite grey, modern and technological Next silver: Eikon Total Look, with three different colours, expresses the beauty of the absolute. The buttons and devices perfectly match the colour of the cover plates and the frame around them, enhancing the monochromatic style.
Two-fold shapes
Two shapes, two different characters: Eikon Total Look Classic looks sharp, rigorous and linear while Eikon Total Look Round shows a softer, curvier and smoother side.
Distinctive material
Metal as a functional and aesthetic choice for a line where buttons and cover plates coexist in perfect colour harmony.
Spectacular from any point of view
The technology functions are also superior in visual quality: the 10″ multimedia video touch screen communicates what is happening inside and outside your home with high-resolution images with matching, customizable graphics. In addition, the web interface offers remote control via smartphone, PC and tablet. So you always know what is happening even when you are not at home.
Precise in its communication too
Technology is also this: a 4.3″ touch video door entry unit with a wide screen display that enables total management of all the video door entry and home automation functions. To give you a wonderful welcome right from your threshold.
Attentive to your home’s energy consumption
The functions applied to Eikon technology provide exact knowledge of the house’s energy profile, managing and displaying both the production of energy and the total consumption of the whole house or of each single device. Greater energy awareness that allows you to avoid unnecessary waste.
Coordinated in every application
Technology that allows you to coordinate the appearance of every application perfectly: monitoring, controls and connection to any network. A coordinated, complete control centre, where design stands side by side with functional excellence.
International by vocation
Technology that knows no boundaries and adapts to the standards and modularity of each country. Of course, with the unmistakable touch of the all-Italian class of Eikon cover plates.
Choice of colours
Three different colours for buttons and controllers, from light white to rigorous anthracite grey, passing through elegant Next silver. In the name of a technology that has never been separated from design.
Complete control

Soft-action axial controls, with wireless and battery-free radio-controlled technology, in electronic infra-red or touch versions with home automation intelligence. The whole home obeys your commands, all functions can be coordinated in a scenario and be controlled remotely from a latest generation PC, smartphone or tablet.
Efficient comfort
