At the Security Event 2025 in Birmingham, CIE Group sat down with DevOps expert Ashley Wilson to explore the new Akubela Smart Home Range. This residential automation solution provides a user-friendly alternative to traditional control systems, putting the power of smart home customisation directly into the hands of homeowners.
Akubela fills a gap in the market where homeowners want more flexibility without depending on professional installers. Unlike platforms like Crestron or Control4, which often require a technician for any updates or system changes, Akubela gives users full control from the moment it is installed.
With Akubela, once it’s installed into the property, it allows a homeowner to do a lot more customisation," says Ashley.
Akubela’s range includes stylish indoor touch panels that function as both communication devices and smart controllers. They allow users to:
These features come as standard. However, the real strength of Akubela lies in its smart home integrations.
The panels come equipped with extension ports and Zigbee compatibility. This makes them ideal for homes that want to scale automation across lighting, sensors, and more.
Features include:
You can walk in the door, press a button, and a complete home scene begins. Lights turn on, appliances activate, and sensors adjust your environment automatically.
Akubela supports user-defined scenes that make everyday tasks easier. For example:
This turns Akubela into a full-featured home automation hub, not just a door entry system.
Akubela is designed to meet the needs of modern homes. Whether you're a developer looking to add value to new builds or a homeowner seeking more control over your smart environment, Akubela offers:
✔ Simple, user-friendly interface
✔ Built-in Zigbee for compatibility with a wide range of smart devices
