(And Why They’re Worth Having in Yours)
When we started putting together our Smart Home Store, we weren’t trying to compete with the big online retailers or fill our site with everything under the sun.
We just wanted to offer products we actually trust — stuff we’ve installed ourselves, tested in real homes and businesses, and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend. No trendy gadgets for the sake of it. No filler products just to pad out a collection.
Everything we’ve included has earned its place.
Here’s why you’ll find these specific brands and products in our range — and why we think they’re a smart buy.
Yale: Locks That Don’t Let You Down
There are a lot of smart locks on the market. Some of them look the part but feel flimsy. Others are packed with features but are difficult to install or use. Yale sits right in the sweet spot.
We stock the Yale smart locks because they’re solid, reliable, and well supported. They’re great on their own, but also work well with bigger security and automation setups — including Ajax and Home Assistant.
We carry other Yale products too, because they’re built to last, not to impress tech reviewers.
Check out the Yale ByYou Pro Smart Lock.
Shelly: Flexible, Smart, and Reliable
We stock a wide range of Shelly products because they do what they say they will — reliably and without needing a subscription. They’re small, powerful, and fit almost anywhere.
Whether you’re looking to automate lighting, control sockets, or monitor power, Shelly modules have become our go-to — for both residential and commercial jobs.
Shelly is a seriously flexible platform that integrates beautifully with Home Assistant and other open systems.
Bond Bridge: Modern Control for Not-So-Modern Gear
Bond Bridge is one of those products that solves a problem you didn’t know you had. It takes your existing ceiling fan or blind remote — the kind you’ve probably got stuck in a drawer somewhere — and lets you control it from your phone or smart home.
It’s small, clever, and easy to set up. You can schedule routines, group devices, and even use voice control — all without needing to replace your hardware.
Simple idea, done well.

iPort BaseStation & Case: A Better Way to Use Your iPad
If you’ve ever tried using an iPad as a smart home controller, you’ll know how frustrating it is when it’s flat, in the wrong room, or tangled in cables.
That’s why we stock iPort. It turns an iPad into a proper wall or table-mounted controller — magnetic, always charging, and easy to grab when you need it.
So Why These Products?
Because they’re good. That’s really it.
We’ve chosen each product — and the brands behind them — because they’re built for real-world use. They’re reliable, they’re compatible, and they’re the kind of gear we’ve come to trust over time.
That’s the goal of our Smart Home Store: not to have the most products, but the right ones.
