A smart home lets you control lights, air conditioners, roller shutters, cameras, and more – right from your phone or by using your voice. With Smartio, getting started is simple, even if you are not a tech expert. This guide walks you through every category of smart home products available in Lebanon and helps you choose the right devices for your needs.
A smart home is not just about gadgets – it is about making life simpler, safer, and more enjoyable. Here is why many Lebanese families are embracing smart homes:
Convenience and comfort: Control lights, air conditioners, roller shutters, and more from your phone or with a voice assistant like Alexa or Siri. Create scenes such as a “Movie Time” mode that closes shutters and dims the lights automatically.
Energy and cost savings: Smart devices help reduce electricity bills by turning off appliances when not needed and optimising AC usage. Monitoring tools also track electricity consumption so you can adjust and save.
Enhanced security: Smart cameras and sensors let you check on your home from anywhere. Motion detectors, door and window sensors, and water leak sensors send instant alerts if something is not right.
Seamless automation: Pair smart switches and sensors to automate daily routines. Lights turn on when you enter a room, and the AC runs only when it is hot and someone is present. With Matter-compatible devices, everything works together regardless of brand.
Tailored to your lifestyle: Whether you live in Beirut or a mountain village, you can customise your setup to fit your needs – remote-controlled shutters, voice-activated lighting, or a fully integrated security system.
Smartio makes it easy to start with just one category and expand whenever you are ready. Our local expertise ensures you get products suited to Lebanon’s electrical standards, plus installation guidance and support.
Smart lighting is one of the simplest and most impactful ways to begin your smart home journey. At Smartio, we offer a variety of smart switches and smart lighting products to bring your home to life.
Smart switches replace your existing wall switches or work alongside them. Your phone sends a command to the switch, and it turns the light on or off for you. There are two main types:
| Feature | Wall-Mounted Switch | In-Wall Switch Module |
|---|---|---|
| Visible Panel | Yes | No (hidden inside wall box) |
| Replaces Existing Switch? | Yes | No (keeps original switch) |
| Modern Look | Yes | Depends on original switch |
| Installation | Moderate (replaces switch) | Advanced (wiring behind wall) |

Smart lights are new light sources you can install – LED strips, smart bulbs, outdoor lighting, TV backlights, and ambient lights for gaming setups. These connect directly to your phone or smart system, offering color changing, scheduling, and automation. As the exclusive distributor of Govee in Lebanon, Smartio offers a wide range of smart lighting solutions.

Automating your roller shutters is simpler than you think, and the benefits are worth it. Set your shutters to open automatically at 7 AM to let in sunlight, and close in the evening for privacy and comfort. With a tap on your phone or a voice command through Siri or Alexa, you can open or close your shutters whenever you want. Include them in custom scenes like “Movie Time” where the shutters close and the lights dim together.

With a smart home, you can know what is happening at your home even when you are not there. Stream live video from smart cameras, receive instant alerts if a window is opened or motion is detected, and even trigger alarms remotely. Water leak sensors can alert you before costly damage happens.

Recommended Sensors:
Remote control starts with your phone. Once set up, you can control your lights and appliances from anywhere. Use smart speakers like Alexa or Apple HomePod for voice control. Our products work seamlessly with Siri, Google Assistant, and Alexa. Many support the Matter protocol, making setup faster and future-proof no matter which ecosystem you prefer.
With automations, your smart home can work on its own. Add sensors to trigger smart actions – motion sensors turn on lights when you enter a room, and temperature sensors switch on the AC only when it is hot and someone is present.

If you want to monitor the water temperature of your heater, the Sonoff TH Elite 20A paired with the Sonoff Waterproof Temperature Sensor gives you real-time temperature readings on your phone. If you do not need temperature tracking, the Tongou Smart Circuit Breaker (compatible with eWeLink or SmartLife/Tuya) is your best bet – plus it gives you insights into electricity consumption.
Note: For safety and long-term durability, we always recommend using a contactor with Sonoff devices.
