Qyvea Limited supplies smart home devices across Kenya — smart switches, plugs, sensors, cameras, locks, lighting and hubs. We stock trusted brands including Tuya, Sonoff, TP-Link Tapo, Xiaomi and Aqara.
Whether you want to control your lights from your phone, automate your home with sensors, or build a full smart home ecosystem, we can help you choose the right devices for your home and budget.
Start with the problem you want to solve, then pick devices that fit your ecosystem and don't lock you into one brand unnecessarily.
Smart switches convert existing lights to app-controlled lights and work whether the light is on or off. Smart bulbs offer colour and dimming but must always be left powered. For most homes in Kenya, smart switches are the better investment.
Most smart switches need a neutral wire (which older Kenyan houses may not have). If you don't have neutrals at the switch boxes, use no-neutral smart switches (available from Sonoff and Tuya) or smart bulbs instead.
Google Home, Amazon Alexa and Apple Home are the main ecosystems. Google is the most widely used in Kenya. Matter is the new standard that works across all three — buy Matter devices where possible for future-proofing.
Change default passwords. Keep device firmware updated. Prefer devices with local control (Zigbee, Z-Wave, Home Assistant) to reduce cloud dependency. Avoid unverified cheap devices that phone home to unknown servers.
True smart home value comes from automation — routines, timers, sensors and scenes. Plan your automations before buying: motion-triggered lights, door-open alerts, presence-based heating/cooling, and sunrise/sunset lighting.

Most people start with smart switches (which convert existing lights into app-controlled lights), smart plugs (for appliances), a smart camera, and a hub if the devices need one. From there you can add sensors, locks and full automation.
Most Wi-Fi smart devices need internet to work remotely, though they may work locally if the hub supports it. Zigbee and Z-Wave devices work through a local hub and continue working when the internet is down — only remote access is lost. Matter is the new standard that works across both.
Yes. Qyvea installs smart switches, sensors, cameras, locks and hubs across Nairobi and Kenya — see our smart home automation service. Installation is quoted separately based on the number of devices and site complexity.
Google Home and Amazon Alexa are the most popular voice ecosystems. For devices, Tuya/Smart Life is the most widely supported in Kenya, while Zigbee ecosystems like Aqara offer more reliability and local control. Matter and Thread are emerging standards that work across ecosystems.
