(room, zone, or equipment) is difficult because the switching infrastructure wasn’t designed for automation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis leads to heating circuits, fans, lights, and equipment running when they’re not needed — creating wasted energy, unnecessary wear, and operational frustration after handover.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe issue we are trying to solve is making switching practical for deployment at scale without creating a fragile system that is hard to maintain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen this is addressed properly, building control becomes easier to operate, easier to maintain, and far more resilient over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"border: 1px solid #e5e7eb; padding: 16px; border-radius: 12px; background: #f9fafb; margin: 18px
