As technology continues to redefine how buildings operate, Metway is leading the way with its innovative Volt Free range of Scene Plates — a product line engineered to bring flexibility, reliability, and long-term adaptability to modern control environments. Designed with the needs of building owners, specifiers, and electrical contractors in mind, these Scene Plates offer a seamless solution for managing today’s complex systems while remaining fully prepared for the demands of tomorrow’s smart buildings.

In many commercial environments, the convergence of lighting, HVAC, access control, and automation systems has created a growing need for universal, future-proof interfaces. Traditional switching methods often tie users to a single platform or manufacturer, limiting system flexibility. Metway’s Volt Free Scene Plates overcome these limitations by utilising dry contact technology — meaning they operate without carrying any inherent voltage. This simple yet effective design allows them to connect effortlessly to virtually any control system, including lighting controls, building management systems (BMS), heating and cooling, and even automated blinds.

By removing compatibility barriers, Metway enables system integrators and contractors to deliver truly adaptable solutions. A single Scene Plate can be configured to serve multiple functions — whether that’s triggering pre-set lighting scenes, adjusting comfort levels, or executing user-defined actions across zones. This makes the range an excellent choice for a diverse set of applications, from corporate offices and educational institutions to healthcare facilities, retail spaces, and mixed-use developments.

Aesthetically, the Volt Free Scene Plates have been crafted with a sleek, modern appearance that complements contemporary interior design. The plates are available in various button configurations, giving specifiers the flexibility to select layouts that suit both the project’s visual identity and functional needs. Their low-profile design ensures they blend seamlessly into any environment while remaining intuitive for the end user.

From an installation perspective, Metway has prioritised simplicity and safety. Contractors benefit from quick, hassle-free wiring, with the reassurance that the same product can interface with different control systems without additional converters or complex programming. This approach reduces installation time and overall project cost, while maintaining high standards of reliability and compliance.

For building owners and facility managers, the benefits extend well beyond installation. The Scene Plates empower end users with intuitive, reliable control that enhances both user experience and energy efficiency. With programmable flexibility, lighting scenes and comfort settings can be adjusted to suit occupancy levels, daylight conditions, or specific user preferences — contributing to smarter energy use and improved operational performance.

Metway’s Volt Free Scene Plates embody the company’s ethos of “smart, simple, and future-ready” design. As part of Metway’s broader commitment to innovation within electrical and lighting control solutions, this range reinforces the brand’s role as a trusted partner in the evolution of intelligent building systems. By combining universal compatibility, elegant design, and practical functionality, Metway gives specifiers and installers the confidence that their systems are built not just for today’s needs — but for the ever-changing technologies of tomorrow.

With the Volt Free Scene Plates, Metway continues to set new standards in the field of building control, offering a product that perfectly balances form, function, and flexibility — and ensuring that no matter how the industry evolves, Metway’s solutions are ready to evolve with it.
