Accumulus Energy Group (AEG) has launched the B.One Hub – a smart hub powered by the Internet of Things (IoT) and Artificial Intelligence (AI). AEG has partnered with Blaze Automation Inc. to develop the Hub especially for the local Australian market.

B.One allows you to wirelessly control your home from anywhere the user wants through the use of a smart phone. The diverse feature range means it’s fully compatible with a wide range of devices and technologies, whether they’re old, current or up and coming.

B.One developers ensured the installation was simple and the required maintenance was minimal, while still allowing the user to fully customise it to suit their needs with no recurring costs after 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,” says AEG chief executive Anup Raghavan.

“For the first time ever, you can now live chat with your home using a chatbot, thanks to the B.One Hub. We believe this is going to revolutionise our entire experience of living and interacting with our homes.”

The hub has been designed to be retro-fitted in homes and rental properties due to it being a wireless system and it also gives detailed information about energy usage and wastage patterns so that users can save more money on their energy bills.

“We are thrilled that Australia is leading the world into the next phase of home automation with the launch of the Bone 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,” says 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, omfort 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.”

A B.One Home Start Kit includes one B.One Hub, two smart sensors and two motion sensors. A certified B.One Smart Home Installer is recommended for installation which will result in a fuss-free and easy setup experience.
