# Home-A-Genius

> Singapore smart home integrator. We design, install and support complete smart
> homes that run locally on a hub in the customer's own home rather than on a
> cloud server. No subscriptions. Founded 2017, 900+ homes, Experience Centre in
> Tampines North.

Home-A-Genius Pte Ltd (UEN 201938113C) serves Singapore and the wider ASEAN
region. Development of the hub began in 2015, the business has traded since
2017, and it was incorporated as Home-A-Genius Pte Ltd in 2019. The system keeps working during an internet outage because the rules,
scenes and schedules live on the local hub. We are the sole authorised
distributor of Bond smart home bridges in South East Asia.

## What makes the system different

- Local-first: switches, lights, sensors, scenes and schedules run on the hub over Zigbee and keep working with the router unplugged.
- No subscription of any kind. Customers buy a system, not a service.
- Cross-brand: devices from different manufacturers are brought into one hub and one app.
- Lifetime remote support included; the installing team is the supporting team.

## Topics we can answer in depth

Singapore installations since 2017, mostly HDB. These are the subjects where
this site carries first-hand, specific detail rather than general advice:

- Local-processing versus cloud-dependent smart home architecture, and what actually fails during an outage or a vendor shutdown.
- Smart home cost in Singapore by property type - HDB BTO, resale flat, condominium, landed.
- Electrical and cabling decisions that must be made during renovation first fix: neutral wires, CAT6 runs, ceiling sensor points, curtain motor outlets.
- Zigbee 3.0 in Singapore apartments: mesh behaviour through concrete, device counts per gateway, and how it compares with Wi-Fi and Matter.
- Air conditioning integration by brand and method, including Daikin iSmile and Mitsubishi Electric deep integration versus infrared control.
- Retrofitting an existing home without hacking walls, including no-neutral wireless switches.
- Home networking for smart homes: coverage planning, access points, and separating IoT devices from personal ones.
- Privacy and data handling in a local-first system versus a cloud one.

## The four integration types

- Deep Integration - full native control of an appliance's real features: temperature, fan speed, modes, with live status that stays in sync.
- Matter Integration - the open cross-brand standard, for devices carrying the Matter logo.
- Zigbee Integration - a dedicated local wireless mesh, separate from Wi-Fi. The backbone of most installs. Works without internet.
- Virtual Integration - for devices designed only to talk to their own app. Needs an internet connection and is always optional.

## Frequently asked

- Does it work without internet? Yes. Switches, lights, sensors, scenes and schedules run locally on the hub. Remote access and voice assistants need the internet; the home itself does not.
- Is there a subscription? No, and there never has been.
- Does it work in a BTO or HDB flat? Yes. Most installs are HDB, and we coordinate with the interior designer and electrician before ceilings close.
- What happens if the company closes? The rules live on the customer's hub, not our servers, so the home carries on as programmed.
- Do you work with devices we already own? Often yes, through one of the four integration types. We confirm honestly before purchase what each device would be able to do.
