TENSE – premium designer switches and control solutions

For those who expect more than functionality from a KNX system

TENSE is a Belgian brand of premium KNX equipment for modern residential, commercial and hotel buildings in which design, material quality and simple control are just as important as advanced technology. Its switches, touch screens, sensors and other control elements are designed as refined interior details that blend harmoniously into the architecture of the space.

Since June 2024, TENSE has been part of the German MDT Group, combining distinctive Belgian design with German engineering experience and manufacturing standards. The products are handmade in Germany, with particular attention to precision, reliability and a pleasant user experience.

Intelligent technology designed for modern interiors

TENSE starts from the idea that technology should not dominate a space but blend naturally into its architecture and the way people live. That is why its products are conceived as design objects made from high-quality, authentic materials.

Depending on the collection and version, surfaces of metal, glass, natural stone and wood are available. A variety of colours, textures, shapes and finishes allows the control elements to be matched with furniture, lighting, wall coverings and other interior details. The natural structures of stone and wood make every element unique, while precisely machined metal and glass give the space a modern, refined character.

TENSE product design has received a number of international awards, including the German Design Award, iF Design Award, Design Plus Award and World Business Award.

TENSE collections for different ways of control

Intensity combines minimalist design with the richness of natural materials. The switches are available in metal, glass, stone and wood and can be adapted to different interior styles.

Serenity offers precise mechanical buttons with discreet ambient lighting. The buttons appear to float above the surface, creating an elegant and distinctive visual effect.

Velocity is characterised by slim mechanical pins and subtle LED accents. It is a collection with a stronger architectural character, intended for spaces where the control elements should be a visible part of the design.

Eternity comprises high-resolution touch screens for clear and intuitive control of smart building functions. A customisable user interface brings together control of lighting, shading, temperature, multimedia and other connected systems.

Motivity motion and presence sensors have very small, almost invisible sensor heads. They can be discreetly integrated into the walls and ceilings of hallways, staircases, living areas, walk-in wardrobes and other rooms that need automatic lighting control.

The range is complemented by Eyeswitch tablet holders, sockets, frames and various installation accessories, making it possible to create a visually consistent whole.

TENSE equipment as part of a complete KNX system

The value of TENSE products goes beyond their appearance. Because they are based on the internationally accepted KNX standard, they can be connected with devices and systems from different manufacturers and become part of a complete intelligent solution.

A single TENSE switch or touch screen can control an individual function or trigger a predefined scene. For example, a “Leaving” command can switch off the lights, lower the temperature, close the blinds, turn off unnecessary loads and activate security functions. An “Evening” scene can adjust the lighting, blind positions, temperature and multimedia system all at once.

In this way, an elegant switch becomes a simple and intuitive interface to all the important functions of the building.

Amplituda – design, integration and programming

As a TENSE partner, Amplituda installs and integrates this premium equipment into KNX systems tailored to the specific space and the needs of its users.

The process begins with an analysis of the building, the desired functions and the way the space is used. This is followed by system design, selection of suitable TENSE models and finishes, installation planning and integration with other technical systems.

Amplituda programs the functions of switches, screens and sensors and connects them with lighting, heating, cooling, ventilation, roller shutters and blinds, audio/video equipment, security systems and other devices. Particular attention is paid to keeping control simple, logical and adapted to the users’ daily habits.

After installation and commissioning, we provide support, diagnostics, maintenance and the option of future upgrades.

Design you can see, technology you can feel

TENSE is intended for users, architects and interior designers who expect more than functionality from a KNX system. The combination of authentic materials, precise craftsmanship, refined design and open KNX technology makes it possible to create spaces in which every detail is carefully coordinated.

Lighting, shading, temperature, multimedia and predefined scenes are available through an elegant interface that remains intuitive in everyday use, regardless of the complexity of the system in the background.

Thanks to a wide choice of shapes, materials and finishes, TENSE adapts to any interior — from a contemporary home to a prestigious office or hotel. The result is a technological solution that does not disrupt the architecture but discreetly complements it and takes it to a new level.
