Project Overview

A European retailer wanted to showcase an affordable smart home package designed for young professionals living in compact urban apartments. The target users valued convenience, basic home security, and energy efficiency but had limited renovation budgets.

The project focused on a 60㎡ apartment, a common layout in many European cities, where preserving the existing interior and avoiding major construction work were key priorities.

Customer Challenges

The retailer identified several common concerns among first-time homeowners and apartment residents:

· Limited renovation budget 

· Newly finished apartment where wall demolition was undesirable

· Need for quick installation 

· Convenient access without carrying physical keys 

· Basic home security during working hours 

· Reduced electricity consumption 

· Comfortable lighting for nighttime movement 

These challenges are common across many European residential projects, especially among young professionals who prefer practical smart home upgrades over complex renovations.

Our Smart Home Solution

To meet these requirements, we supplied a complete wireless smart home package built around a Mesh networking gateway, enabling reliable communication between all connected devices without extensive electrical modifications.

The solution included:

· Wireless Mesh Gateway 

· Smart Fingerprint Door Lock 

· PIR Motion Sensor Lights 

· Smart Switches 

· Smart Power Sockets 

· Smart Speaker for Voice Control 

Because the system operates wirelessly, installation was completed without modifying the existing high-voltage wiring, making it ideal for finished apartments.

Smart Automation Scenarios

Several automation routines were configured to improve the user's daily experience.

Arrival Home Automation

When the homeowner unlocks the smart door lock using a fingerprint, password, or mobile app:

· Entrance lights automatically switch on. 

· Living room lights illuminate. 

· The air conditioner adjusts to a comfortable preset temperature. 

· The apartment is ready before the homeowner fully enters. 

This creates a seamless arrival experience after work.

One-Touch Away Mode

When leaving home, a single command activates the "Away" scene:

· All unnecessary electrical appliances turn off. 

· Lighting switches off. 

· Curtains close automatically. 

· Security monitoring is activated. 

· Motion alerts are sent directly to the homeowner's smartphone if unusual activity is detected. 

This simplifies daily routines while improving energy efficiency and home security.

Night Mode

For nighttime use, motion sensors detect movement and activate soft, low-brightness lighting.

Benefits include:

· Comfortable visibility

·  Reduced glare 

· Minimal disturbance to other family members 

· Improved nighttime safety 

Installation Process

One of the project's key advantages was its fast deployment.

Installation Timeline

Since the solution uses wireless communication, there was no need to break walls or replace existing electrical wiring.

This significantly reduced labor costs while minimizing disruption for the homeowner.

These services enable retailers to strengthen their brand identity while offering differentiated smart home solutions.

Project Results

After installation, the customer reported several measurable improvements.

Improved Convenience

Residents no longer needed to search for physical keys, and automated lighting made arriving home more comfortable.

Enhanced Living Comfort

The home's temperature and lighting were automatically adjusted before occupants entered, creating a more welcoming environment after work.

Energy Savings

By automating lighting, appliances, and power management, the system achieved an estimated 15–20% reduction in monthly electricity consumption.

Non-Invasive Installation

The wireless architecture eliminated the need for wall demolition or major electrical modifications, making it an ideal solution for finished apartments.

Reusable Equipment

Because the devices are wireless, homeowners can relocate and reinstall the system when moving to a new residence, increasing long-term value.

Customer Feedback

"We no longer have to look for keys after work. The apartment feels comfortable before we even step inside, and it's great that we could upgrade a finished apartment without damaging the interior. The overall value for money is excellent."
