WHILE LIGHTING and
shades made arguably the
biggest smart home splash
at CEDIA Expo 2023, they
weren't the only ways for
integrators to address
controllable room amenities
that also add design flair
to a space. One example
came from AiSPIRE, a WAC
Lighting company, which
launched Modern Forms
Smart Fans for custom
integrators during CEDIA
Expo 2023, held Sept. 7-9 in
Denver.
Combining sleek style
and sophisticated technology,
Modern Forms Smart
Fans fit into today's smart
home automation scenarios
by providing versatile and
simple-to-operate controls
by AiSPiRE ABiCUS. Also
debuting at CEDIA Expo,
AiSPiRE ABiCUS is a universal
DMX Gateway that
delivers communication
between lighting fixtures
and control platforms.
Elegantly crafted using

that Renegade has been
engineered with refined
proportions and generous
scale, giving it a luxury
aesthetic and powerful air
movements.

presents a contemporary aesthetic
take on classic smart
fan design, Modern Forms
describes. The wet-rated
aluminum construction and

porch, or a stylish living room.
