No central hub, no need to get those proprietary smart light bulbs (unless you crave their functionality.. they are cool).. basically turn your existing outlets into smart outlets minus the huge overhead. This is a total game changer.

“A smart, easy to install, cost effective and powerful switch. It’s your solution to control and monitor every aspect of your spaces: home, holiday cabin, office, company, etc… Using your mobile and through Wi-Fi & the Cloud.”

They have 3 types of Kancy: Outlet, Dimmer and Servo.
