ON A MISSION

We’ve taken smart home to the ceiling. Zuma’s smart lights are the first to include hi-fi grade speakers integrated into your ceiling light unit for effortless multiroom sound and incredible light control.

Zuma CEO, Morten Warren, explains to The Installer Magazine, how his business is changing smart homes for the better:

The smart home is too fragmented, consumers do not understand the value proposition and they’re facing significant pain points at every level across the value chain. Whether that’s interoperability between devices, high cost, battery life limitations or difficult installation, consumers are constantly uncovering issues that means the experience of the smart home does not match up to the hype that was sold to them.

That’s where Zuma comes in—simplifying the smart home with quality products that put the customer experience first. Zuma wants to do away with the siloed approach between manufacturers that creates a mish mash of devices that can’t or won’t work together, and instead provide a comprehensive suite of products that just do.

Taking the smart home to the ceiling, its smart lights blend elegant industrial design with purpose. Made from highquality materials with precision engineering, Zuma Lumisonic is the first fully controllable, customisable multi-sensory light to include hi-fi quality sound. That means it can provide effortless multiroom surround sound and lighting to suit any mood, throughout the whole home. As it’s IP65 rated, it can be retrofitted into any room even the bathroom, transforming a family bathroom into a spa or kitchen into a concert hall at the touch of a button. As these rooms become increasingly important for personal wellbeing and entertaining, products need to become smarter to add genuine value.

Bolstering its offering further, Zuma launches Smart Bezel Voice in September, integrating Alexa voice control into its Lumisonic unit. This takes Amazon’s Alexa functionality off work surfaces and into the ceiling for easy voice control whenever you need it. This is the first step in Zuma’s Smart Bezel series which will streamline the home. New bezels will include thermostats, smoke detectors, security cameras and more.

Pleasingly, all this is not cost prohibitive, as typically, installing Zuma into an entire home will come at around a quarter of the cost of a legacy custom installation, and the procedure is straightforward too. Zuma can generally fit into old spotlight fittings and needs nothing more than some simple wiring, with no drilling or rewiring required.

Zuma CEO, Morten Warren, summarises, “Bringing smart home technology together under one roof, is quite literally, exactly what the industry has been missing until now, and Zuma is proud to be leading the way. Zuma wants to give customers a smart home experience that truly makes the home behave more intuitively and in a way that removes the boundaries of technical know-how and expense. If the smart home is broken, that has to be the cure.”
