Smart Home

A smart home makes your house smarter, more comfortable and more efficient without any hassle on your part. With a handful of smart devices, you can control lighting, heating, security and sound from your phone or simply with your voice, whether you're relaxing on the couch at home or out and about. Devices talk to each other within a single ecosystem, switch on automatically at the right moment and give you insight into your energy usage.

The great thing is that you can start small and expand your setup step by step. At TechPunt, you'll find the largest range of smart devices in the Benelux, with expert advice, the lowest-price guarantee and delivery from our own warehouse in Barneveld. Order before 8:00 PM and your new smart home product will be at your door the next working day.

What are smart home products?

Smart home products are smart devices that you connect to each other and to your phone via wifi, Zigbee or the Matter protocol. You control them with an app like Mi Home, by voice through Google Home, Amazon Alexa or Apple HomeKit, or you let them respond fully automatically to time, movement or temperature. Smart lighting is the first introduction for most people: it's easy to set up and you see the result right away in the ambiance of your home.

Beyond that, smart sensors play a central role, because they detect movement, doors, temperature or air quality and use that to control other devices. From a smart plug and a smart thermostat to a robot vacuum: nearly every device in your home is now available in a smart version. Together they form a versatile and accessible system that you set up exactly the way you want.

Why choose a smart home?

A smart home is all about convenience, security and savings. You automate recurring tasks, so the lights turn on the moment you get home and the heating is turned down when you're away. That instantly delivers noticeable living comfort, but also a lower energy bill, because you monitor your usage and switch devices off automatically. With smart speakers you control your entire home with your voice and bring music, calendar and controls together in one central point.

For many people, security weighs just as heavily: with cameras, doorbells and locks you stay in control of your home, even remotely. What's more, a smart setup is affordable and future-proof, especially when you pay attention to compatibility with the major ecosystems and to support for the Matter protocol.

Our smart home range

In our range you'll find everything you need to make your home smart, from individual devices to complete solutions that work together seamlessly. Below we've listed the main categories, so you can quickly see which product suits your needs.

Smart switches

With smart switches you control existing lights and devices without replacing your entire installation. You press the button physically, control it via the app, or link the switch to a scene, so one press instantly operates multiple devices. They're ideal for anyone who wants to automate their home step by step.

Sensors

Sensors are the eyes and ears of your smart home. They measure movement, temperature, humidity, light, or the opening of doors and windows, and use that data to control other devices. That way the lights turn on automatically when there's movement, or you get an alert the moment something unwanted happens.

Video doorbell

With smart video doorbells you can see and speak to visitors directly from your phone, wherever you are. Thanks to HD video, two-way communication, and an alert on your device, you always have your front door under control. It's one of the most appreciated additions for a safe feeling in and around the home.

Curtain opener

With smart curtain openers your curtains open and close automatically at a set time or with one tap in the app. Let them open in the morning with the daylight and close in the evening for your privacy, all without having to get up. They're easy to mount on your existing rails.

Smart locks

With smart door locks you open your front door with your phone, a code, or a fingerprint, and share temporary access with family or visitors. You can see in the app when the door has been opened, and you'll never have to search for your keys again. When choosing, pay attention to compatibility with your existing cylinder lock.

Trackers

With smart Trackers you keep an eye on your belongings and quickly find your keys, bag, or bike again via the app. You attach the small device to whatever you don't want to lose, and you'll see the last known location the moment it goes missing. A small tool with great convenience in everyday use.

Smart lights

Smart lights let you adjust colour and brightness seamlessly and link them to scenes for the right atmosphere at any time of day. You dim them with your voice, put them on a schedule, or have them follow your sensors. Thanks to the simple installation and the visible effect, they're the favourite starting choice for beginners.

Smart speakers

A smart speaker is the beating heart of your control setup: you ask for music, set the timer, and control all your smart devices with your voice. They work together with the major voice assistants and make operating your home effortless. Place several for coverage throughout the whole house.

Smart glasses

Smart glasses bring technology into your daily life: you listen to audio, record, or keep an eye on notifications without reaching for your phone. It's the smart addition for anyone who wants to stay connected at all times and keep their hands free. A versatile gadget that fits easily into your routine.

Hubs and gateways

A hub or gateway brings devices from different brands and protocols together in one interface. With support for Zigbee, Z-Wave, and Wi-Fi, you let everything communicate reliably, even when you combine devices from multiple manufacturers. For a slightly more extensive setup, this is the most flexible foundation.

Electronically controllable from anywhere in the house

The big advantage of a smart home is that you no longer have to walk over to the device itself to operate it. From the couch, from your bed, or even from work, you control the lighting, the heating, and the security with your phone. Are you on the go? Then in a few taps you check whether the door is locked and whether anyone has been standing at your door.

Besides app control, you can operate many devices just as easily with your voice, so you don't even have to reach for your phone. Set up a few scenes and schedules, and your home even responds automatically at the right time of day. And if you're away from home for a while, you keep an eye on everything remotely via notifications, so you can leave with peace of mind. You set up remote control and automation exactly the way you want, so your home responds to you instead of the other way around. That remote control not only makes your daily life more comfortable, but also safer and more economical.

Effective solutions that complement each other

The real power of a smart home lies in devices that work together rather than functioning on their own. A motion sensor turns on the lighting, a smart doorbell starts your camera, and a scene switches everything off at once in the evening. To align those solutions smoothly, you preferably connect them within one ecosystem, so they reinforce each other effortlessly. If your devices work via the same protocols, such as Zigbee, Z-Wave, or Wi-Fi, they respond to each other faster and more reliably.

Support for the Matter protocol also ensures that devices from different brands will continue to work together seamlessly in the future. Hubs and gateways play a central role in this, because they bring brands and protocols together and keep your entire system stable. That way you build, step by step, a home in which every device is a logical link in the whole.

What to look out for when creating a smart home

Building a smart home is fun, but a well-considered start prevents disappointments and duplicate purchases. So keep the following points in mind before you begin.

  • Compatibility: check whether a device works with your phone and with the ecosystem you use, such as Mi Home, Google Home, Alexa, or Apple HomeKit.
  • Ecosystem choice: start with one ecosystem and one category, so you avoid buying devices that don't talk to each other.
  • Connection protocol: check whether the device works via Wi-Fi, Zigbee, or Z-Wave, and whether it supports the Matter protocol for a future-proof setup.
  • Installation: consider whether you want fixed mounting or prefer installation-free devices, which is certainly handy for a rental home.
  • Security and privacy: pay attention to a secure connection and to how your data is processed, especially with cameras and locks.
  • Expandability: choose devices that let you easily expand later, so your system grows with your needs.

Follow these points, and you'll build a smart home that works smoothly, expands easily, and gives you years of enjoyment. If you're unsure about a choice, our specialists are happy to think along with you.
