Tyba Turn 2 and PLH Bring Design-Led Control to Life at CEDIA 2026

Published: July 1, 2026 Lekker Global Editorial Team

CEDIA Expo 2026 in Denver provided the perfect setting for Tyba and PLH to demonstrate how intelligent home control can deliver advanced functionality without compromising the interior design of a space.

Presented within the PLH LaunchPad Zone, Tyba Turn 2 was paired with the PLH NEO architectural switch in a Crestron-controlled lighting environment. The collaboration gave visitors a hands-on demonstration of two complementary approaches to control: an intuitive digital interface and a beautifully discreet tactile switch.

A shared approach to design and control

The collaboration was built around a simple idea: smart-home control should be powerful behind the scenes, effortless to use and beautifully integrated into the home.

Tyba Turn 2 brings lighting, climate, shades and media together within one elegant room interface. Its circular touchscreen and precision rotary ring provide an intuitive way to select scenes, adjust settings and access the functions used most often.

PLH NEO complements this experience with a compact, flush-mounted architectural control that provides immediate tactile access to essential lighting functions. Together, the products demonstrated how physical and digital controls can coexist within the same environment, giving users the right type of interaction at the right moment.

A real-world demonstration

Rather than presenting the products as standalone pieces of technology, the CEDIA installation showed how they could work within a complete Crestron-controlled lighting system.

Visitors could use Turn 2 to select lighting scenes and make precise adjustments through the touchscreen and rotary ring. The PLH NEO switch provided an equally considered form of control directly from the wall.

This practical demonstration helped installers, integrators and designers understand how the two products could contribute to a cohesive control experience throughout a luxury residential project.

The control system continues to manage the intelligence behind the scenes, while Turn 2 and NEO provide elegant, approachable ways for the homeowner to interact with it.

Stronger together

The success of the collaboration came from the natural alignment between Tyba and PLH.

Both companies place significant importance on material quality, thoughtful interaction and the relationship between technology and interior design. Neither product needs to dominate the room to provide meaningful control.

For integrators, the demonstration highlighted the flexibility to offer different interfaces within the same project without creating an inconsistent user experience. For architects and interior designers, it showed that sophisticated home technology can be integrated without disrupting the visual language of a space.

Most importantly, it allowed visitors to experience the products together. The tactile response of the NEO switch, the clarity of the Turn 2 touchscreen and the precision of its rotary ring are best understood through interaction rather than specification sheets alone.

Bringing control back to the room

As smart homes become more capable, everyday functions can become buried within applications, menus and multiple control devices. Turn 2 is designed to bring control back to the room by placing the functions people use most within immediate reach.

The PLH collaboration at CEDIA demonstrated how this principle can extend across an entire control environment. A homeowner can use an architectural wall switch for a quick lighting action or turn to Turn 2 when they want to select a scene, make a precise adjustment or access additional room functions.

The result is a system that feels simpler to use, even as the technology working behind it becomes more sophisticated.

A successful CEDIA collaboration

The PLH LaunchPad installation gave Tyba Turn 2 a strong platform at CEDIA 2026 and created a clear, design-led story for integrators, designers and industry partners.

The positive conversations generated around the demonstration reinforced the growing demand for control interfaces that combine genuine usability with considered industrial design.

Tyba would like to thank the PLH team for making Turn 2 part of the LaunchPad experience and for helping bring this collaboration to life in Denver.

CEDIA 2026 may be over, but the demonstration provided a compelling example of what is possible when complementary technologies are brought together around a shared vision: powerful control, intuitive interaction and beautiful integration.
