Intelligent Home has been around 19 years and has completed over 50,000 installations in Perth. It works with 8 of the 10 largest builders in Australia.

Quantify’s signature device is qDevice which is an alternative to traditional light switches. It not only operates them “intelligently” but also does energy management and reporting. The device’s modular and innovative design allows changes to be made quickly and easily.

Intelligent Home said Quantify’s solutions fitted Intelligent Home “perfectly” as it aspires to provide the best customer service and flexibility for its customers to expand or reconfigure systems without having to rewire their homes.

“We wanted to partner with Quantify because they offer world-leading smart home automation technology,” said Intelligent Home director Brenton Morris.

“We also see it as being highly applicable to the NDIS and Aged Care markets.”

Quantify CEO Brett Savill also welcomed the deal.

“This is part of our strategy to sign up leading distributors on a national basis,” he said.

The smart homes market is a $1.8 billion market and growing at 30 per cent per annum. The company said it expected more distribution agreements shortly.
