NEW WI-FI RANGE FROM TIMEGUARD IS A GREAT BUSINESS FOR INSTALLERS… Hard-wired Wi-Fi technology

W i-Fi control is becoming ubiquitous – your customers will be asking your advice about it, and with Timeguard’s smart home range of Wi-Fi accessories, you can recommend and install with confidence. Affordable smart home technology is undoubtedly big business, and as people get more used to it, there’s greater scope for professional installers to get involved. Smart wall sockets, bayonet lamp-holder adaptors and trailing sockets are one thing, but there’s plenty of scope to offer a better solution with a professionally hard-wired solution. So, look for wall sockets, in-line adaptors and fused spurs with Wi-Fi control. Wi-Fi is, of course, ideal for most home control applications because it connects to an existing network hub or router, which means that a PC doesn’t have to be left on to access a remote device like a camera or switches. Twin wall sockets with USB port These 13A (3Kw) sockets for professional installation also provide a handy USB port. Daily and weekly timing programmes and countdown timing are offered, with each socket under individual control.

10A in-line connector The in-line adaptor enables installers to bring Wi-Fi functionality to any device or appliance and is a welcome product in the range where you want to automate an existing light fitting. Remember, wall switches in this country have no neutral, so designing Wi-Fi controlled switches as direct replacements is not practicable. These in-line connectors, however, are simply wired-in in series and popped through the ceiling aperture or in-line with the power cord of an appliance. Smart fused spurs Fused spurs are ubiquitous and, with a mains connection in place, are just ripe for upgrading. A single gang fused spur timer is ideal for adding remote control to wall and immersion heaters, towel rails, appliances like washing machines and dryers, and outdoor or display lighting. Both Wi-Fi and locally controlled versions are available from Timeguard. Security cameras There are many doorbells with cameras on the market but, for what is an important job, you will want to recommend the best quality products

you can find. A clear indicator is the guarantee that manufacturers are willing to offer – the bare minimum of three years comes as standard from Timeguard. As well as the standalone Wi-Fi camera and doorbell, TImeguard also offers a Wi-Fi camera built into an automated outdoor LED floodlight. Which App? The Timeguard development team has chosen the proven Tuya Smart IoT (Internet of Things) platform for control of its Wi-Fi accessories range of Wi-Fi controlled devices. Tuya works with Alexa and Google Assistant and enables consumers to control all of their smart home devices from a single free app, as well as any of the other 90,000 compatible products from other manufacturers that use Tuya.
