SMART LOCKS

KUBU WINDOW SMART SENSOR , READY TO ROLL

» FOLLOWING A THOROUGH development and testing programme , the newest member of the Kubu Smart Security family is ready to launch , with the first Avantis ‘ Works with Kubu ®’ FMT window locks now in stock , together with a brand-new website allowing consumers to purchase their all-new window sensors coming in a matter of weeks .
Kubu smart-sensor technology , and the platform that it runs on has been proven and perfected over several successful years in consumers ’ homes across the UK . The launch of the window sensor sees the introduction of the most advanced smart security sensor yet in the fenestration industry .
It is completely concealed within the frame , and is able to
report a multitude of statuses , from ‘ Fully Secure ’ to ‘ Open Wide ’. It even knows when the window is in ‘ Secure Night Vent ’ mode .
The Kubu Window Sensor uses their own floating-sensor technology , which allows the sensor to move with the window over time , helping the sensor to overcome such issues as sash-drop . This means it will always provide accurate status reports without the need for repeated setup or calibration .
As a smart home platform , Kubu provides both security and lifestyle benefits , including their ‘ SureSecure ’ location alerts , full smart-home integration , family sharing , under-attack , weather , and air-quality notifications .
All the latest Avantis hardware ‘ Works with Kubu ®’ and will be showcased at the FIT Show on stand Q31 as Ryan Bromley , co-founder of Kubu points out . He said : “ This year ’ s FIT Show is huge for the industry as we continue
our march into the smart home market . Not only do we have a whole host of new developments in our Smart tech , but we now also have a comprehensive range of Avantis multi-point locks for both windows and doors that all ‘ Work with Kubu ’.
“ We are developing additional products with other hardware manufacturers too . All this means our customers can now offer consumers Smart Security Technology throughout their homes . There ’ s no longer any need for fabricators and installers to wait . We ’ re smarter than ever , and we ’ re ready now , that ’ s why we are urging everyone in the industry to ‘ Be Smart , Work with Kubu ’.”
