Get started

Which smart home tech will you choose?

There's so many to choose from...

Smart Lightning

Wondering if you left a light on at home? Use your smart lighting app to check and switch off any unwanted illuminations. Go a step further when you upgrade to lighting that uses motion sensors to make sure your lights will only ever be on when you need them. And how about dimming the lights for movie night, using only your voice?

Smart doorbells, security cameras & CCTVs

Get an alert on your phone if your smart security tech detects loud noises, unusual movement or a window being opened. Access a live stream of what’s happening at home so you can always see for yourself. Speak to your delivery driver over video to check your parcel is left exactly where you want it.

Smart smoke alarms

While all smoke alarms help keep you safe, smart alarms come with extra features to give you more information and peace of mind. If there’s a problem or your alarm’s battery is running low, you can get a notification on your phone, for example. Some smart alarms will even explain what’s wrong out loud!

Smart speakers

Whether your live in a Google, Amazon or Apple household, you’ll find the perfect smart speaker to fit with the rest of your music ecosystem. Listen to live radio or your favourite playlists, check train timetables and weather updates. Some models will even read the kids a bedtime story. All without you touching a single button. The really smart bit? Saving up to 12% all year round with Techscheme.

Smart plugs

An affordable hack to make any appliance instantly ‘smart,’ these plugs connect to your WiFi directly or via an app to put you in control from wherever you are. Some also monitor energy use to give you insight into which appliances are the most energy-intensive and costly to run

Smart heating

Come back to a home with the perfect temperature every time with remote access heating controls. Get tech that intelligently adjusts your heating schedule so you only use the energy you need. And you can always turn the dial up or down for an instant adjustment when the British weather throws an unexpected curveball.
