Vimar By-me Plus 4-Button Home Automation Control, 2-Module, RGB LED Locator

Overview

The Vimar 4-button control 2M is a By-me Plus wall control with four buttons in a 2-module format, with RGB LED location in darkness and adjustable brightness. Across this family, the unit is built around a compact control point for bus-based automation and is finished in matt thermoplastic in a grey tone similar to RAL 7024.

For marine interiors, this type of control makes sense where you want several commands in one position and still need the control to stay easy to find at night. It is not the finished front on its own, so the matching button set must be selected according to the chosen variant and plate family.

Key features

• Four-button control in a 2-module format for compact wall positions.
• RGB locator LED with adjustable brightness for low-light use.
• Bus-connected By-me Plus device, suited to integrated automation systems.
• Standard and tropicalized executions are completed with interchangeable 1- or 2-module Eikon, Arké or Plana half-buttons.
• AX execution is completed with interchangeable Eikon Exé Flat/Tondo buttons.
• Matt thermoplastic body in a grey tone similar to RAL 7024.

Variants

This product family is offered in three executions.

The main differences are the execution type and the button family used to complete the front. VM01480 and VM01480.TR use interchangeable 1- or 2-module Eikon, Arké or Plana half-buttons, while VM01480.AX is set up for Eikon Exé Flat/Tondo buttons. The four-button, 2-module layout and RGB LED locator remain consistent across the listed variants.

• VM01480: Standard execution, for use with interchangeable 1- or 2-module Eikon, Arké or Plana half-buttons. This is the regular version for installations built around those series.
• VM01480.TR: Tropicalized execution, for use with interchangeable 1- or 2-module Eikon, Arké or Plana half-buttons. It keeps the same control format while using the tropicalized version of the device.
• VM01480.AX: Flat/Tondo execution, for use with interchangeable Eikon Exé Flat/Tondo buttons. This changes the front-button family and visual style used to finish the control.

Compatibility and fit

This control belongs to the By-me Plus range and is intended to be matched to the correct Vimar front family before installation. If you are replacing an existing control, the important check is the installed button and frame series: Eikon, Arké or Plana for the standard and tropicalized versions, and Eikon Exé Flat/Tondo for the AX version.

The 2-module format helps when panel space is limited and you still need four separate button commands in one location. That can be useful in cabins, saloons, or other protected interior spaces where lighting or automation commands need to stay close at hand.

Installation and setup

This is a bus-connected built-in control, so it should be treated as part of a wider automation system rather than as a standalone switch. The body includes the electronics and locator LED, while the visible button finish is completed with the matching interchangeable front parts for the selected variant.

It suits boats and marine interiors already using Vimar automation hardware, especially where physical button control is preferred over app-only control. The tropicalized version is the relevant option where the project specification calls for that execution.

Many products sold by Apollo Lighting include a manufacturer's warranty covering defects in materials or workmanship. Warranty terms vary by brand, product category, and model, so eligibility, coverage duration, exclusions, and available remedies are determined by the applicable manufacturer. We recommend reviewing the warranty information provided with your product before installation or use, especially for marine electronics, navigation equipment, lighting, electrical systems, pumps, safety equipment, and other specialized marine products.

If you need warranty service, the claim must follow the process established by the manufacturer, authorized service center, or designated warranty provider. You may be asked for proof of purchase, a serial number, product registration, photos, maintenance or installation records, or other documentation. Apollo Lighting does not determine or modify a manufacturer's warranty coverage or final claim decision, but we are happy to help provide purchase information and direct you to the appropriate manufacturer or warranty resource.

Keep your receipt, product documentation, serial number information, and original packaging when practical. Damage caused by normal wear, misuse, improper installation, insufficient maintenance, corrosion, impact, unauthorized modifications, electrical issues, or operation outside the manufacturer's specifications may not be covered. Warranty claims are separate from standard returns, so a product that has been installed, used, or exposed to marine conditions may no longer qualify for return while still remaining eligible for evaluation under the manufacturer's applicable warranty.
