Orange France has launched Homelive, a smart-home management system that puts the home at consumers' fingertips when they are out. The Homelive package links home electrical devices and allows the user to manage all appliances remotely via smartphone or computer. The pack includes a central unit and three devices from Fibaro system — a smoke sensor, a door/window sensor, and a motion sensor. Orange sells additional Fibaro sensors, among them a flood sensor and a wall plug.
The Homelive package allows the user to adjust the settings and to remotely control all connected home appliances from anywhere via computer or smartphone. It can be easily adjusted to individual preferences and offers many useful functions. Using sensors, the system identifies threats within seconds, warns the user of the danger, and activates all the pre-programmed alarm procedures.
The Homelive pack includes intelligent sensors and other devices from Orange partners. Motion sensor, door/window sensor, smoke sensor and wall plug were provided by Fibar Group, a European manufacturer of smart home systems. All devices are compatible with the Z-Wave protocol and can be controlled remotely with the Homelive mobile app or control platform developed by Mios.
“We are pleased to become a partner of such a prestigious company as Orange France,” said Maciej Fiedler Fibar’s Group CEO. “It is a great honor for us and for our products, especially since we are the biggest vendor for Orange France. We strongly believe that French customers will love the smart home possibilities.”
The first Homelive pack is sold in 1,200 Orange stores and the Orange.fr online shop for 79 euros with a special cashback offer of 78 euros — the offer is valid for all new Homelive customers. To enjoy the features of the Homelive solution, users pay only 9.99 euros per month with a 12-month commitment. The subscription includes unlimited SMS alerts, continuity of service monitoring and alerts in case of Internet failure (subject to Orange mobile coverage), dedicated technical support and storage of video and data for a month. The offer is not restricted to Orange customers.
