Akubela Aura Series Flush-Mount Backbox for Smart Switches & KNX Panels

Akubela Aura Series Flush-Mount Backbox

The Akubela Aura Series Backbox is the dedicated in-wall mounting enclosure designed to support the full range of Aura series smart switches, sockets, temperature controls, and KNX control panels. Built as part of Akubela's modular smart home ecosystem, this ultra-thin backbox allows installers to prepare a clean, standardised cavity behind the wall before fitting any Aura faceplate, making it an essential first step for both new-build wiring and switch upgrade projects.

Key Features

• Ultra-thin profile designed specifically for the Aura series modular switch and panel range
• Screw-free installation system that speeds up fitting and reduces on-site labour
• Compatible with Aura series switches, sockets, temperature controllers, and KNX scene panels
• Suitable for flush (in-wall) mounting for a seamless, professional finish
• Designed to fit standard European wall box cavities, easing retrofit installs
• Pre-formed cable entry points for tidy routing of KNX bus and power wiring
• Durable construction intended to sit behind the Aura aluminium faceplate for long-term reliability
• Part of the wider Akubela KNX and smart home add-on range for consistent whole-house installs

Use Case

This backbox is intended for electricians, system integrators, and smart home installers who are deploying Akubela's Aura series switches or KNX panels in residential or light commercial fit-outs. Because the Aura Series uses a modular, mix-and-match faceplate design covering switches, sockets, and climate controls, having a standardised backbox behind the wall means installers can plan cavities early in a build and swap or reconfigure the visible module later without re-chasing the wall. It suits both new construction, where wiring is planned from the ground up, and renovation projects where fitting into an existing standard wall box cut-out saves time.

What's in the Box

• 1 x Akubela Aura Series flush-mount backbox

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this backbox compatible with all Aura series switches and panels?
Yes. Its ultra-thin backbox and screw-free design simplify installation and it is intended to work across the Aura Series range for both retrofits and new builds.

Can I use this backbox with a standard existing wall cavity?
The backbox is sized to suit standard European wall box dimensions, so in most cases it can be installed into an existing compatible cavity or a newly chased opening during a fit-out.

Does the backbox include the switch or panel module itself?
No. This listing is for the backbox housing only; Aura series switch, socket, and KNX panel modules are sold separately and clip onto the installed backbox.
