Matter and Thread are often mentioned together, but they are different technologies. Understanding their roles can help you choose sensors and controllers that will work with your system.

We design and configure climate control on Danfoss systems: floor and air temperature sensors, room thermostats, heating zones and automatic regulation in the boiler room. Comfortable temperature in every room, lower gas use and control from your smart home.

We automate climate and lighting in your home: air conditioners with remote and voice control, lighting via Livolo touch switches, and exhaust ventilation in kitchens and bathrooms. Everything unified in one system — scenes, schedules and control from your phone, Siri or Google Assistant.

We automate your lawn irrigation with Hunter systems: controllers, rotor and drip zones, rain sensors and soil moisture sensors. Watering runs only when truly needed — saving water, keeping grass healthy, and controlling everything from your phone or smart home.

We automate your gates using Nice Robus (sliding) and Nice Spin (swing) drives. Wi-Fi connectivity brings control into your smart home — open and close gates from your phone, automations, or by voice with Siri, Google Assistant, Apple Home, and Google Home.
