Why families choose it
Do you have to break walls or rewire?
No. There's no wall chasing and no new wiring through your finishes. Smart switches go into the same boxes as your old ones, curtain motors fit your existing curtain tracks, and sensors stick on. Your paint, tiles and ceilings stay exactly as they are.
Does it work before or after my unit is finished?
Both. If your unit is still being built, it's the best time: before finishing, we plan it into the build with your contractor: switch positions, curtain motors, panel places and valve locations, so everything is hidden and ready the day you move in.
We already live there. Can you still do it?
Yes. Most of our homes are lived-in already. Because nothing needs breaking, we fit it room by room around your family, usually without moving out or repainting.
Do I have to take the whole package?
No. It's built around what you want. Start with one room, or only the curtains, or only water safety, and add more whenever you like. Everything joins the same panel and app.
Can I start with one room?
Yes. Many families start with the living room. You can add more rooms later, and they all appear on the same panel and app.
Everyday use
Will my normal light switches still work?
Yes. Anyone in the house can still use the switch on the wall. The panel and the app give you extra ways to control the same lights.
How do we control it: phone, panel or iPad?
All three, and they always agree. A wall panel by the door of each room, an optional wall iPad with the whole house on one screen, and the app on every phone in the family.
Does it work with Alexa or Google Home?
Yes. Lights, curtains, AC and scenes work with Amazon Alexa and Google Home, so you can say "close the curtains" instead of reaching for anything.
What if the internet goes down?
Your wall switches always work. On the home visit we show you exactly what keeps working without internet in your setup.
Is it the same system as The Loft showroom?
Yes. It's the same H-Bot panel and app, set up for your own rooms.
Safety & security
Can I see my cameras in the same app?
Yes. Cameras show live next to your lights and curtains on the phone, the wall iPad and the panel, with pan and tilt from the app and a privacy switch for when you're home.
How do the water and gas shut-offs work?
A sensor watches for water on the floor or gas in the air. If it finds either, the matching valve on the main line closes by itself and your phone gets an alert, even if nobody is home.
Getting started
What happens on the home visit?
We walk through your home with you, room by room, see what you'd like to control and check your switches, curtains and AC. It's free and there's no obligation.
How does installation work?
After the visit you get a written room-by-room quote. Once you approve it, we agree an installation date, fit everything, set up the panel and the app on your family's phones, and show everyone how to use it.
What about support and warranty?
The H-Bot team that installs your system supports it afterwards, and we can adjust scenes and schedules for you as your routine changes. The warranty terms are written into your quote.
How much does it cost?
It depends on the number of rooms and what you want to control. After the free home visit, you get a written room-by-room quote. There's no obligation.
