Smart Home: frequently asked questions

Do the smart plugs and sockets in this category fit UAE wall outlets?+

Most UAE homes use Type G (British-style, BS 1363) outlets, while our wall sockets and most smart plugs, such as the Luxion 16A Wi-Fi Smart Plug, Sonoff S60TPF and Meross MSS425F power strip, are European Schuko (Type F). They are not BS 1363 compatible, so check the plug type on each listing before ordering.

Do these smart home devices work with Alexa in the UAE?+

Many do, depending on the model. Alexa launched officially in the UAE in 2021 with English and Khaleeji Arabic. Products such as the Sonoff Mini-Dim, Sonoff THR316 and Luxion Mini-Smart Wi-Fi Relay list Amazon Alexa and Google Home support. Check the 'Works with' details on each product.

Can I control an existing light or appliance without replacing my switches?+

Yes. Compact relays such as the Sonoff Mini-Dim and Luxion Mini-Smart Wi-Fi Relay fit behind an existing switch and add app and voice control. Because they connect to fixed wiring, they should be installed by a qualified electrician following local authority rules (DEWA, ADDC/AADC or SEWA).

Which apps do these devices use?+

It depends on the brand. Luxion and BeOk devices generally use the Tuya / Smart Life app, Sonoff uses eWeLink, and Nuki, Yale and Somfy have their own apps or systems, such as TaHoma for Somfy. Some Sonoff relays, including the Mini-D and Mini-Dim, also support Matter.

Are there smart locks suitable for apartments in the UAE?+

The category includes the Nuki Smart Lock Ultra, Pro 5.0 and Go, plus the Yale Linus L2, with keypads and bridges available. Tenants in Dubai should note that the unified Ejari tenancy contract prohibits alterations without the landlord's written approval, so check before changing a door lock.

Do you offer motorised curtain kits?+

Yes. Options include the Somfy Movelite 35 RTS battery kit with an adjustable 2.2–4 m track, the Orvibo 2 m centre-opening Zigbee track kit, and Luxion curtain motors with Smart Life app control. Wall brackets and remotes are also sold separately.

Ever stepped out of the door and wondered, "Did I switch the lights off?" With smart home devices, you no longer have to wait until you get back to find out. You can check and control your home straight from your phone, wherever you are.

Our Smart Home range brings together the essentials for building a connected home:

  • Smart hubs from brands such as Broadlink, Orvibo and GeekLink
  • Wi-Fi relays from Sonoff and Broadlink
  • Sensor kits that monitor temperature and electricity usage
  • Smart plugs with energy monitoring, such as the Broadlink SP3S, which you can schedule in its app

Energy-monitoring plugs help you track high-consumption appliances, such as air conditioning, and cut waste on your electricity bill.

Smart devices can be fun, too. Nanoleaf light panels are controlled from your phone, and their music sensor makes the colours dance in time with your playlist. That makes them ideal for parties and karaoke nights, or as an original gift.
