The Click Smart+ range has been created to simplify and streamline connected home products – lighting controls, smart sockets, security cameras and sensors. It utilises Zigbee technology – one of the most widely adopted smart home communication protocols. Zigbee certified devices require the Click Smart+ Hub and communicate with each other using a mesh network. This creates multiple pathways for the connection of multiple smart home devices without compromising signal and communication range.
Installation is simple and flexible, with no additional cables or wall cutting required, making it ideal for existing or newly constructed buildings. The bespoke Click Smart+ app gives householders ultimate control of the smart devices, which can also be operated through voice control in conjunction with a smart speaker.
Click Smart+ sockets, including the smart fused connection unit, can also be incorporated into the Aquip weatherproof enclosures to safely bring smart technology to the outdoors. Part of the Click Smart+ range is a Smart Socket Outlet Kit which
brings together all the essential components for outdoor installation. The kit includes a smart hub, four Mode 13A 2-gang Zigbee smart sockets and an Aquip IP66 weatherproof enclosure.
Smart security
Working alongside Click Smart+ is the Fort range of smart security products from Scolmore Group company, ESP. The range includes intruder alarms, video doorbell, video security light, sensors, and a selection of 1080p cameras. They all operate under the same ‘Click Smart+’ app – which is completely subscription-free, with no additional fees incurred. By bringing the operation of the Fort range under the Click Smart+ app from Scolmore, users will have control of a raft of connected home and security products all from one secure, easy to access platform.
Lighting the way
When it comes to lighting solutions for the garden, it is worth considering the main functions that are required. These could include accessibility, highlighting of particular areas of the garden, security, and aesthetics. Ovia has a raft of lighting solutions for the outdoors including the recent addition of a solar powered security light, plus the Pathfi nder LED fl oodlights which are an ideal way to provide ambient lighting around the garden – lighting up walkways and driveways, as well as highlighting architectural features when used as an up-lighter.
With power and lighting in the garden all under control, full advantage of its benefits can be taken all year round.
