Make everyday life easier
What is a Smart Home?
A Smart Home is a living space equipped with connected devices that can be monitored, controlled, and automated through a smartphone, tablet, or voice assistant.
With Smart Home you can:
- Turn lights and appliances on or off remotely
- Schedule your air conditioners and other devices
- Receive door, motion, or security alerts
- View security cameras while away
- Monitor energy use of select appliances
How it Works
Most Smart Homes are built around three key elements:
-
-
Communication Network
Technologies such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Zigbee, or Matter allow compatible devices to connect and communicate.
-
Smart Home Platform
Systems such as Google Home and Amazon Alexa let you monitor, control, and automate compatible devices.
Everyday Benefits
Simple ways a Smart Home can make your life better
-
Convenience
Automate everyday tasks—from switching off multiple devices to cooling your room before you get home—so you spend less time managing your home.
-
Comfort
Set lighting, temperature, and routines around how you live, creating a home that feels more comfortable and responsive to you.
-
Security and Safety
Stay informed through connected cameras, sensors, and alerts—even when you’re away—for greater awareness and peace of mind.
-
Control and Energy Management
Monitor and control selected appliances remotely to help avoid unnecessary energy use and give you better control over how your home uses electricity.
Getting Started
Build your Smart Home with Essential Devices
-
Smart Lighting
Control, schedule, or automate your lights to make daily routines easier and help avoid unnecessary use.
Switching off one light that would otherwise stay on during the day could save around ₱32.98/month.
-
Smart Plugs
Add remote control and scheduling to turn on or off compatible appliances you already own—no replacement needed.
-
Sensors
Get alerts when doors open, motion is detected, or potential leaks occur.
A refrigerator door sensor can alert you when the door is left open. Meralco Power Lab studies show that refrigerator door leaks may add as much as ₱558/month to the electricity cost of a conventional 7-cu.-ft. refrigerator.
-
IR/RF Blaster
Control compatible air conditioners, TVs, electric fans, and other remote-controlled appliances using your phone or voice assistant.
An IR/RF Blaster can stay on 24/7 for an estimated ₱7.20/month—a simple way to make existing appliances smarter.
-
Smart Appliances
When it’s time to upgrade, consider appliances with built-in remote control, scheduling, and monitoring features for added convenience and better energy management.
