du has announced the launch of its all-new Smart Home Services for all UAE residents with packages in home automation, home monitoring and IT consultancy services on March 1, 2017.
To understand and experience the benefits of a Smart Home, du encourages consumers to visit its Smart Home experience center first at du headquarters in Al Salam Tower, Media City. Upgrading to a smart home will improve the quality of life for people across the UAE.
du offers a technology agnostic solution that will integrate with a range of products from various brands and partners. With the emphasis on experience, du is offering customized and out of the box services and solutions that can be personalized to suit any customer preferences.
“As a progressive nation with a high youth population, UAE consumers are used to being constantly connected. We are proud today to elevate this connectivity to the home and make the Smart Home a reality for consumers today,” said Fahad Al Hassawi, Chief Commercial Officer, du.
The range of smart home solutions includes home automation – control of lighting, door sensors, automated curtains, AC and various other available appliances; home monitoring – view of home status through cameras and sensors; home entertainment – control of audio and video equipment; and home networking – effective wireless coverage.
Home automation is divided into two categories; pre-built packages that include wireless retrofit solutions for in-home and out of home devices, equipment, appliances and environments, as well as custom built packages with comprehensive wireless and wired home automation custom designs, for individual customers.
Home monitoring allows the user to remotely monitor and survey in-home and out-of-home environments through wireless or wired IP cameras – this includes indoor and outdoor cameras and sensors. It allows for notifications and alerts to custom destinations, based on output and triggers. The pre-built package contains a predefined list of items in various product packages. The custom built solutions have no definite list of items; the project size and price is completely dependent on the size and depth of the customer needs estimated after the initial site survey, the sales engineer will agree with the customer on the desired experiences, type and additional ‘add ons’.
