mUther – Your one-stop shop for Smart Home technology
The global Smart Home trend is about to take off in South Africa – and an exciting new Smart Home company, mUther, is ready to lead the industry.
“Historically, creating a Smart Home in South Africa was an extremely specialised business, and as a result, was limited to only the rich and famous,” said mUther Managing Director Alex Staniland.
“However, over the last few years, South Africa’s connectivity footprint has caught up with the rest of the world, and home Wi-Fi networks have become the norm in most homes.”
This has made introducing DIY Smart Home automation technology to the local market feasible, and mUther is excited about the opportunities this brings to South African homes.
Affordable Smart Homes
According to Staniland, South Africans can make their 3-bedroom homes Smart for under R15,000 – including their gate, garage, ceiling lights, bulbs, wall light switches, alarm, fans, irrigation and pool.
Everything can work on one Smart app and can also be controlled through popular Smart assistants like Google, Alexa, and Siri.
“It’s incredibly easy, too,” said Staniland.
“Very often, it’s as easy as unpackaging, peeling, sticking to where you want it and pairing it in the app.”
While more complex Smart Home switches require an electrician, the work is still fairly basic – and a single call-out to connect all of your Wi-Fi switches is a small price to pay for the incredible benefits of a Smart Home.
These benefits include:
