our story

A century of expertise, a future of intelligent living 

MOTIV did not emerge overnight

It is the culmination of more than a century of experience, insight, and learning. Over time, this led to a clear conclusion: smart home solutions should do more than simply automate. Technology should support everyday life quietly and naturally, without demanding our attention. MOTIV was created from that understanding: a brand that brings together experience, knowledge, and a clear vision of how intelligent living should feel.

Origin

Since the early 1920s, Niko has evolved from a maker of switches and sockets into a trusted brand for innovative electrical and smart home solutions.

From the first porcelain switches to today’s intelligent ecosystems, Niko has spent over a century shaping the way we live and work with electrical infrastructure.

MOTIV builds on this century-long legacy, drawing on the success of Niko Home Control, Niko’s smart home platform. Years of experience with ongoing innovation, form the foundation for MOTIV’s solutions in modern residential and professional environments.

A brand of Wygwam

MOTIV is the first brand of Wygwam, a sister company of Niko NV, who produces and sells sockets and switches and distributes MOTIV products.

Belgian craftsmanship

MOTIV combines the legacy of Belgian design with a forward-looking vision of contemporary living. Our product design is rooted in typically Belgian values: thoughtful design, technological precision, and a pragmatic, no-nonsense approach to quality.
