Connexoon Window RTS

Connexoon Window RTS is designed to simplify the user's life and make their home experience as easy as touching a button on their smartphone. It's a simple box that is controlled through an app and used to manage Somfy-powered motorised products such as blinds, curtains, awnings and lights.

So, if your family member wants to upgrade the tech features in their home or just wants to save time or enhance security, comfort and privacy in their home, the Connexoon Window RTS is the user-friendly solution that makes a unique, affordable gift.

Smart Speaker

Smart speakers such as Amazon Echo and Google Nest have become an essential item in so many homes across Australia, which makes them a great gift for someone that hasn't yet got around to connecting their home. These products are highly versatile, and you can select the one that best suits your recipient's lifestyle. Consider the websites or tech they currently use when deciding which smart speaker will best integrate and enchance their day-to-day activities.

From catching up on their favourite podcasts to streamlining their morning routine with voice control, a smart speaker is an ideal gift for people of all ages.

Phillips Hue Lighting

Phillips Hue lighting can make a great gift for so many reasons. This is the smart way to light up a home, and the benefits are endless. Whether somebody wants to instantly transform the mood of a room, control individual lights from their smartphone with Connexoon Window RTS or establish a schedule to control lights when they're not home to give the impression that they are, there's something for everyone.

Choose from a range of bulbs and light fittings in different brightness levels and colours to personalise a gift and make it unique to the person you love. Not only can your gift's recipient enjoy convenience and versatility when entertaining, but they could also feel a boost in well-being with white ambience lighting.
