Solar Rooftop Firm Zunroof Launches Range of Smart Home Devices

Solar rooftop solutions provider Zunroof has announced its entry into the Smart Homes Category with the consumer launch of its ‘zunpulse’ smart devices

Gurugram-based solar rooftop solutions provider Zunroof has announced its entry into the Smart Homes Category with the consumer launch of its new range of ‘zunpulse’ smart devices, with a single app to control all of them.

“The zunpulse range is designed to make life at home easier, more comfortable and more secure, particularly at a time when most Indians are choosing to stay at home to safeguard themselves from the raging pandemic,” said Pranesh Chaudhary, Founder and CEO of ZunRoof. “This launch also marks the first milestone in our mission of democratising smart home tech and making it more accessible for the majority of tech-savvy Indians.”

The new range of devices launched include:

• zunpulse Smart Plug to convert all residential electrical appliances, including geysers/water heaters, room heaters and ovens among others, to smart appliances, which can be controlled remotely from a mobile device.
• zunpulse Smart Camera that features night vision, has a resolution of 720p and is weather resistant. The camera can store up to 128 GB of video and can be used for two-way communications through the zunpulse™ mobile app
• zunpulse Smart Energy Monitor that reports real-time usage of electricity and allows users to control and minimize wasteful consumption in order to minimize their electricity bills
• zunpulse Smart AC remote, a software-based remote that converts an old air conditioner to smart air conditioner; which can be switched on and off remotely via the mobile app
• zunpulse Smart Security System equipped with a motion sensor, the door sensor, and a siren to sound alarm, which also sends remote notification on the mobile phone to warn of an intrusion in the home
• zunpulse Smart Video doorbell that allows users to check who is at the door and have a two-way communication right from their mobile device regardless of where they are
• zunpulse Smart TV remote for all popular smart TV brands, usable via any mobile device
• zunpulse Smart LED Bulbs with pre-built special scenes and a full 16-million colours palette.

The devices need a .4 GHz WiFi network at home to connect to the Internet. All devices can be controlled through the zunpulse app, available on both Google Play and Apple App store.

The firm has confirmed that the zunpulse range of devices will soon include a wider range of devices to better control and manage every single thing that is powered by electricity in a typical home.

The products have been available to commercial buyers since March, including real estate developers, hotels, hospitals and sharing economy firms like co-living spaces and cloud kitchens. The firm has booked 50,000 + zunpulse devices to B2B customers. “We have received a tremendous amount of acceptance from the market on these products and are now glad to make them available for homeowners, for which these products were originally created,” Pranesh added.

For the rooftop solar installer, the move to smart home devices certainly seems to have gotten off to a strong start, while its primary market suffers from the stagnation and economic impact brought on by the global pandemic.

All the devices are now available for purchase from the zunpulse website and from key e-commerce stores.
