This is a smart panel inspired by the Jiangnan water town landscape, integrated with modern smart home technology, designed to deliver a comfortable, convenient, and secure interactive experience for users.



Drawing inspiration from the natural scenery of Jiangnan water towns, the design employs curved and streamlined forms to vividly depict stone arch bridges, flowing water, and East Asian hip-and-gable roofs. It unfolds a serene picture of "bridges over flowing streams and households," embodying the Eastern philosophical aesthetic of "harmony between man and nature" that underscores the coexistence of humanity and nature. This approach not only bestows the product with a profound cultural heritage and distinctive aesthetic value but also creates an atmosphere that blends Eastern aesthetics with modern technology. The imitation stone texture surface treatment faithfully reproduces the natural characteristics of Jiangnan stone bridges and grounds, allowing users to experience the tranquillity and harmony of nature while enjoying smart home products.



The design significantly emphasises user-centricity, featuring an intuitive interface tailored to meet the usage needs of all age groups within the family. Users can remotely control home appliances via the control panel or app; the knob indicator on the panel visually represents device status, such as colour temperature and air quality, through different colours and lighting effects, enhancing the convenience of information acquisition. Additionally, an elderly care mode utilises a self-developed millimetre-wave sensor to monitor abnormal actions like falls, emitting a flashing red light from the knob indicator and promptly notifying caregivers, demonstrating consideration for special groups. Moreover, Eave allows users to monitor real-time energy consumption of home appliances using the control panel or mobile application, enabling effective home energy management and meeting modern users' expectations for smarter, more eco-friendly, and user-friendly home products.
