Vitrea
Glass Touch Intelligence — Luxury Smart Home Interfaces from Tel Aviv to Charlotte
Request System DesignOverview
Vitrea, headquartered in Tel Aviv, Israel, manufactures glass touch keypads and room controllers that bring hotel-grade automation intelligence to luxury residences. Vitrea's panels combine lighting control, climate management, shading, and scene activation into unified glass interfaces — replacing clusters of switches with single elegant touchpoints.
The V-Touch panel is a capacitive glass surface that displays contextual icons, room status, and control options. Unlike fixed-button keypads, V-Touch adapts its interface based on time of day, room mode, and automation state — showing relevant controls when needed and fading to a minimal ambient display when idle. This adaptive behavior creates an interface that responds to how residents actually use their homes.
At Peters Audio Video, Vitrea serves estates and penthouse installations where consolidated control, clean wall aesthetics, and smart room automation are priorities. The platform excels in new construction where wiring can be planned around Vitrea's bus architecture for maximum capability.

Product Categories
V-Touch Panels
Capacitive glass touch panels with adaptive displays, built-in environmental sensors, and configurable control layouts for room-level automation.
V-Switch Keypads
Simplified glass keypads with fixed button layouts for locations requiring basic switching without full panel functionality.
Room Controllers
Behind-the-wall modules that manage lighting, HVAC, shading, and sensor inputs for each room's automation.
Central Management
Software platform for system-wide configuration, scheduling, energy management, and remote monitoring.
Smart Home Integration
Vitrea & Whole-Home Automation
KNX and Modbus integration enables connection with Savant, Lutron, and major automation platforms.
Built-in sensors feed occupancy and environmental data to the automation system — reducing standalone sensor count.
HVAC integration through Modbus provides direct fan coil and VRF control without additional thermostats.
Scene triggering integrates with whole-home automation for coordinated lighting, audio, and climate responses.
Luxury Home Applications
Penthouse Automation
V-Touch panels provide consolidated control for high-rise residences where wall space is limited — one panel per room replaces five or six switches.
New Construction Integration
Bus wiring during construction enables maximum Vitrea capability — occupancy-based automation, energy optimization, and adaptive room control.
Guest Suite Management
Hotel-grade automation provides welcome scenes, automated climate, and intuitive controls for guest rooms — no instruction needed.
Energy-Conscious Estates
Occupancy detection and scheduled automation reduce energy consumption by managing lighting and HVAC based on actual room usage.
Specification Review
Choosing Vitrea for Your Home
Compare the specific equipment proposed for your rooms, not the brand name alone. Vitrea families discussed on this page include V-Touch Panels, V-Switch Keypads, Room Controllers, Central Management. Availability, model specifications, firmware and third-party integration support need confirmation before a final design.
- Room fit: Request a model-level schedule showing where each component will be used, its mounting and power requirements, and any architectural compromises.
- Integration evidence: Identify the supported connection or driver for each required function. Separate physical compatibility from actual command support and test behavior when internet access is unavailable.
- Complete scope: Compare equipment, infrastructure, configuration, commissioning and documentation together. Confirm subscriptions, licenses, warranty terms and ongoing support separately in the proposal.
Useful project details: A floor plan, room-by-room scene list and a list of the devices you intend to integrate.

How We Install Vitrea
Discovery & Design
Every Vitrea installation begins with a comprehensive consultation. We evaluate your home's architecture, existing infrastructure, and lifestyle needs to develop a detailed system proposal with room-by-room specifications and control interface design.
Architectural Coordination
For new builds and renovations, our team coordinates directly with architects and builders during the design phase — ensuring Vitrea infrastructure (conduit runs, power, equipment closets) is properly planned before walls close.
Professional Installation
Installation requirements depend on the selected Vitrea equipment: mounting, cabling, ventilation, power and configuration are coordinated with the project scope. Documentation records the installed components and relevant connections.
Calibration & Commissioning
After installation, we verify the specified Vitrea functions and system connections. Applicable audio, video or control settings are commissioned for the room, with owner orientation and documentation appropriate to the equipment.

Vitrea vs Basalte?
Both offer premium glass interfaces. Vitrea emphasizes adaptive displays and built-in sensors for smart room automation. Basalte emphasizes pure minimalist design aesthetic. Choice depends on whether function or form leads the decision.
Does Vitrea work with Savant?
Yes. Vitrea integrates through KNX gateways, enabling Vitrea's room-level intelligence within the broader Savant estate automation platform.
Is Vitrea good for renovation?
Vitrea works best in new construction where bus wiring is planned during the build phase. Retrofits are possible but may require additional wiring.
