Top Features of the Basis Smart Panel You Didn’t Know You Needed

When you think of a switchboard, you probably picture a plain box that hides behind a cupboard door until something trips and you have to go searching for it. But the Basis Smart Panel is changing that image completely.

It’s not just an upgrade, it’s a total rethink of how your home’s electrical system should work. Packed with clever features that make your home safer, smarter, and easier to manage, the Basis Smart Panel proves that small design changes can make a big difference in everyday life.

Here’s what makes it stand out:

1. Fire-Sealing Cable Entry — Built for Safety First

Electrical safety starts at the smallest details, and Basis takes that seriously.

Each cable entry in the smart panel is fire-sealed, helping prevent flames from spreading if an electrical fault ever occurs. It’s the kind of protection that you don’t see but you’ll be thankful for in an emergency.

It’s a step beyond standard switchboards, which often rely on open cable holes that can let heat and fire spread quickly. With Basis, that extra layer of sealing means a safer home and peace of mind for your family.

 

2. Spring-Clamp Connectors: No Loose Wires, No Worries

One of the most common issues with traditional switchboards is loose wiring over time. Screws loosen, connections weaken, and the risk of arcing or overheating increases.

The Basis Smart Panel uses spring-clamp connectors instead of traditional screw terminals. This ensures every wire stays secure and maintains consistent contact, even years after installation.

It’s a small but powerful improvement that keeps your system stable and safe, reducing the risk of connection faults that can cause flickering lights or tripped breakers.

 

3. E-Ink Display for Circuit Labels, Clarity Even in a Blackout

Here’s something you’ve probably never seen before, an E-Ink display right on the front of your panel.

Instead of trying to read faded, handwritten circuit labels, the Basis panel shows digital circuit information that’s always clear and easy to read.

And here’s the best part:

The E-Ink screen stays visible even during a power outage.

So if the power cuts out, you’ll still know which circuits are affected, no flashlight, no guessing. It’s simple, smart, and seriously practical.

 

4. Smart Design That’s Installer-Friendly and Future-Ready

The Basis Smart Panel isn’t just designed for homeowners, electricians love it too.

Everything from the layout to the mounting system is built for easy installation, future upgrades, and clean cable management. That means a neater job, quicker servicing, and a panel that looks just as good as it performs.

Plus, it’s ready for whatever’s next: solar, batteries, EV chargers, or home automation. Basis makes it easy to integrate new tech as your home evolves.

 

5. Built for Modern Homes (and Busy Lifestyles)

Between smart TVs, chargers, appliances, and energy systems, modern homes demand more than ever from their electrical panels.

The Basis Smart Panel keeps up with today’s lifestyle:

• Real-time energy monitoring
• Integration with smart home systems
• Safer circuit design and load management
• Sleek, minimalist look that fits into any home interior

This isn’t just a box on the wall, it’s the nerve centre of a modern, energy-efficient home.

 

Why It Matters

Most homeowners don’t think twice about their switchboard until there’s a problem. The Basis Smart Panel flips that thinking by building intelligence, safety, and design into something that’s been ignored for too long.

It’s smarter, safer, and ready for the homes of tomorrow.
