Introducing the Akubela Smart Home Range: Residential Automation Made Simple

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.

What Is Akubela and How Does It Compare to Traditional Home Automation?

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.


Built for the Modern Smart Home

Akubela’s range includes stylish indoor touch panels that function as both communication devices and smart controllers. They allow users to:

  •     Answer video intercom calls
  •     Unlock doors remotely
  •     Monitor entrance activity

These features come as standard. However, the real strength of Akubela lies in its smart home integrations.


Full Zigbee Integration and Expandable Smart Features

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:

  •     Lighting extensions for scene-based routines
  •     Door sensors that trigger actions such as switching on lights
  •     Zigbee-enabled devices for greater compatibility with third-party products

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.


Automation That Works for You

Akubela supports user-defined scenes that make everyday tasks easier. For example:

  •     Automatically turn on hallway lighting when the front door opens
  •     Activate specific devices when motion is detected
  •     Build routines based on time, occupancy or environmental changes

This turns Akubela into a full-featured home automation hub, not just a door entry system.
