Stephen Payne

I have many years of experience in the Smart Home and Building markets working with various Open Protocol solutions. Starting work as a Technical Apprentice at GEC Telecommunications in Coventry (sadly now long gone), then spending a number of years at ABB Controls in Coventry. I then moved into Sales, with companies like Klockner Moeller, MEM, Timeguard/Theben and B.E.G. I was involved with KNX in its infancy (when it was still EIB) and at one time being the Vice-President of the UK KNX Association. Latterly I spent time working with DALI/DALI2.

For the last three years I have been building up the presence of Etako GmbH in the UK and their extensive range of EnOcean enabled professional wireless devices for the control of homes and other buildings. Very happily married with two grown up children and a Pug. Among other things enjoying walks near his home in the New Forest.
