Accumulus Energy Group (AEG) launched B.One Hub, the world’s fastest and most sophisticated home automation smart hub in Australia, ahead of the rest of the world. Powered by the Internet of Things (IoT) and Artificial Intelligence (AI), B.One lets you wirelessly control your home from anywhere in the world, using your smart phone. AEG has partnered with US-based Blaze Automation Inc. to make affordable home automation a reality for Australians, and its R&D team has customised the Hub for the local market.
B.One Hub is the fastest and most feature-rich IoT Hub available today. Its open architecture makes it compatible with a wide range of devices across different brands and ecosystems, as well as older, current and upcoming technologies (including smart speakers, lights, blinds, motion sensors, and more). Beautifully crafted with a sleek and contemporary design, B.One is incredibly easy to install and use. It can be customised to suit the user’s unique preferences; there are no recurring costs after the initial purchase.
“One of the most exciting features of the B.One Hub is its integration with instant messaging chatbots. In this era of messenger-based communication platforms, we want to empower users to communicate seamlessly and intuitively with their smart homes, and chatbots can lead the charge in this space. For the first time ever, you can now live chat with your home using a chatbot, thanks B.One Hub. We believe this is going to revolutionise our entire experience of living and interacting with our homes,” said Anup Raghavan, CEO, Accumulus Energy Group.
Being a wireless system, it can be easily retro-fitted in homes and rental properties – users don’t need to make additional investments to upgrade their home or devices to be B.One-ready. Beyond just controlling smart devices via a mobile app, B.One Hub can also provide detailed insights into energy usage and wastage patterns in the home or office, allowing users to save money off their energy bills. B.One takes home automation to the next level by giving you voice control of your home, as it is compatible with smart speakers such as Amazon Echo and Google Home, with more to come in the future.
“We are thrilled that Australia is leading the world into the next phase of home automation with the launch of the B.One Hub. In a B.One Smart Home or Office, automation goes far beyond turning things on and off. The Hub is an intelligent partner that helps you gain insights into your home, slash power bills, manage your comfort, take charge of your home security and even chat with your home through voice-guided automation in real time,” added Anup.
“Wireless home automation can be tricky to navigate, even for those who are tech-savvy. B.One Smart Home Pros (our certified and trained installers), are your trusted advisors who will guide and help you turn your home or office into a connected space. Our aim is to help fellow Australians enjoy the ease, comfort and peace of mind that comes with having a B.One Smart Home; without burning a hole in their pockets. The highlight is that B.One Hub is compatible with most existing devices in your home, so you don’t need to invest in further extensive upgrades to turn your home into a connected, modern space.”
B.One Hub retails at AUD 650. An entry-level B.One Home Starter Kit consists of one B.One Hub, two smart sensors and two motion sensors, and retails for AUD 1,250. To ensure a seamless setup experience, it is recommended that the B.One solution be installed by a certified B.One Smart Home Installer. A fully installed Home Starter Kit for an average home would cost approximately AUD 1,500, making it far more affordable than other hubs on the market.
B.One Hub is currently sold exclusively by local distributors, who can be contacted via B1Hub.com.au/ContactUs or 1800 180 810. After we receive your query, your local distributor will assist you in finding the most appropriate solutions to make your home a B.One Smart Home.
