START WITH THE EVERYDAY

Your home.
Your starting point.

Start with the hub. Add your lights, geyser, pool, a wall-mounted tablet and the systems you already have. Use a supplied PC or your own hardware, then choose Smart Connect at R150/month or Smart Connect Plus at R299/month alongside your installation.

An estimate, not a quotation. All pricing must be confirmed by suppliers. Final hardware, compatibility and installation costs are confirmed after a site assessment.

Using your own hardware? Starter checklist
  • Dedicated PC: 64-bit Intel/AMD, 2 CPU cores, 4 GB RAM, 64 GB SSD and UEFI for direct OS installation.
  • Virtual machine: 2 vCPUs, 4 GB RAM and 64 GB SSD allocated, with spare resources for the host OS and apps.
  • Always on, sleep disabled, reliable network connection (Ethernet preferred), plus internet and power for remote access.
  • A compatible Zigbee adapter and VM USB passthrough may still be needed.

These are our starter guidelines. We assess the exact machine before installation. Camera recording and AI workloads need a separate assessment.

Your existing router, network connection and power point must be suitable. A wallboard, UPS or network upgrade is separate. Choose the monthly plan that accompanies your installation below.

STAY CONNECTED

Choose your monthly plan

Choose one

Access your smart home while you’re away. One plan accompanies each installation and is billed separately from the once-off setup.

Monthly plan per home

Your internet connection and power are required. These plans provide remote access to your smart home; they do not supply broadband.

Good to know

Plus support is available in business hours: Monday–Friday, 08:00–17:00, excluding public holidays. We aim to respond by the next business day; this is not a resolution guarantee. Unused support minutes do not roll over.

Extra work is quoted before it starts at the applicable R650/hour rate. New hardware, site visits, major integrations and extensive update/remediation work are separate. Full service, billing and cancellation terms are confirmed with your quotation. This calculator does not start a subscription or take payment.

HARDWARE WHEN YOU NEED IT

Connect your Zigbee devices

Connect ZBT-2 Zigbee adapter

Only when needed

Needed for the Zigbee no-neutral lighting choices below. One adapter connects supported Zigbee switches and lights to your automation PC, and is shared across your home.

No-neutral describes the wiring at the wall switch, not every Zigbee product. We check your exact devices and radio coverage before installation.

+

COVERAGE WHERE IT COUNTS

Upgrade my Wi-Fi

Optional

Extend your home Wi-Fi with a Cudy system. Zigbee devices use a separate mesh and coordinator.

02

A LITTLE MORE CONTROL

Choose your lighting

Make your existing lights smart. Choose the wiring already at your wall switch, then decide whether to retain the switch or replace it.

Examples to help you budget. These switches are a selection of the range we can supply. Other suitable brands and compatible switches or lighting products are available. We agree exact products and pricing after assessment. Hardware and installation are shown separately in your estimate.

Count switch units, not bulbs. One 2-gang unit controls up to two circuits; one 3-gang unit up to three. Four downlights on one switch are one circuit. Choose one product per switch position.

Wi-Fi · existing neutral required Neutral must already be inside the wall-switch box

Existing neutral is a condition of this price. A neutral wire must already be present inside the wall-switch box. We do not pull or install a neutral wire to that box. If it is missing, these Wi-Fi options cannot be installed under this estimate.

All listed products provide on/off control. Need adjustable brightness? Mention dimming in your equipment notes for a separate assessment. Pairing, a simple schedule and testing are included per unit. Existing bulbs and light fittings are retained; new lamps and fittings are excluded. Photos show the selected model; finish and fit are confirmed before ordering.

THE BIG EVERYDAY LOADS

Geyser & pool

Choose where the geyser controller will be installed. Pool control uses a DIN rail installation. Each option includes electrical labour, scheduling, dashboard setup and testing.

Geyser control

Both choices below are for your geyser. Select one installation location.

Sonoff BASIC-1GSP 32 A controller for the DB geyser option
GEYSER OPTION A

In the DB · DIN rail

Sonoff BASIC-1GSP · 32 A maximum
Wi-Fi / Matter

Sonoff POWR320D Elite 20 A display controller for the inline geyser option
GEYSER OPTION B

Inline next to the geyser

Sonoff POWR320D Elite · 20 A maximum
Wi-Fi · LCD display · power monitoring

Leave this out for now.

The inline roof option needs a suitable enclosure, access, Wi-Fi and an ambient temperature within −10 to 40 °C. A 20 A device is not suitable for every geyser. Electrician approval of the actual load and circuit is required for either option. Thermostat and safety protection retained; temperature sensing and plumbing excluded.

Swimming pool control
Sonoff BASIC-1GSP 32 A DIN controller proposed for the pool, for a compatible existing pool pump
POOL OPTION · DIN RAIL ONLY

Pump control · DIN rail

Sonoff BASIC-1GSP · 32 A maximum
The same smart controller as the DB geyser option.

Includes the controller, minor fitting materials, installation and setup in your existing suitable enclosure. A new enclosure is quoted separately. No contactor allowance is included in this standard estimate.

Leave this out for now.

The 32 A maximum rating does not confirm suitability for every pump motor. An electrician checks starting current, motor duty, protection and existing switching equipment. This estimate assumes direct switching is suitable; any additional equipment required after assessment is quoted separately. Existing compatible smart switches can be integrated instead of replaced. Existing single-speed, single-phase pumps only; variable-speed control, chemistry and new pumps excluded.

Optional pool-light control
Sonoff BASIC-1GSP DIN controller for existing pool-light mains supply

Separate switch for the pool light

Sonoff BASIC-1GSP · DIN rail · existing mains feed to the pool-light transformer / driver.

Hardware price only; installation is added to your lighting total. Assumes suitable existing enclosure, protection, transformer and wiring; transformer switching compatibility checked before quoting. Transformer replacement and underwater / low-voltage wet-side wiring are excluded. Already smart? Select the existing system integration instead, without adding replacement hardware.

Existing suitable wiring, electrical protection, DB space and Wi-Fi coverage are assumed. Exact hardware, enclosure and installation conditions are confirmed before quoting. Energy readings in the automation dashboard depend on the supplied model, firmware and integration.

04

BRING WHAT YOU ALREADY HAVE

Connect existing systems

Each integration is one compatible system, hub or account. Hardware, accounts and access must already be available unless you choose the alarm retrofit.

Connect one system with up to four existing camera views.

Assumes a compatible system; no extra hardware needed. Recording stays on your NVR. Advanced analytics and additional views require a separate quote.
Alarm system

Leave this out for now.

Compatible alarm integration excludes any required IP module, interface or additional hardware. Choose one route per alarm; the retrofit already includes its interface allowance and integration.

Existing smart devices

Add only systems you already own. Integration of new items selected above is included. Each allowance covers one account / system and up to ten existing supported devices; more devices are scoped separately.

Select each category once. Each checkbox adds one integration charge; you can select different categories together. Tell us about additional accounts or devices in the notes for assessment.

Select the route once: Zigbee devices paired directly do not also need a Sonoff / Tuya account charge. Tuya and eWeLink features depend on exact models, firmware and cloud support.

Include brands, model numbers and device counts. Please don’t enter passwords.

05

YOUR HOME AT A GLANCE

Add a wallboard

Optional
Illustration of a slim wall-mounted home control screen beside a modern kitchen
Illustrative installation. Final equipment and layout confirmed in your quotation.

Your home, on one screen.

A shared touchscreen for your lights, pool, geyser and other connected systems. Keep everyday controls within easy reach.

  • Tablet and wall-mount frame
  • Concealed power-supply and charging-cable allowance
  • Screen software licence, fitting and dashboard setup

Suitable existing light-switch wall box required. Mounting is over the existing box to accommodate the power supply and charging cable. A permanent live supply and neutral must already be present. No new wires, neutral installation, chasing or new wall boxes are included. A qualified electrician confirms suitability and how the existing light switch will be retained. One screen software licence and setup are included.

This is a starting budget. We select the tablet, frame and power supply and confirm supplier prices when preparing your quotation. Any extra wiring or light-control changes are quoted separately.
