HCM CITY (Biz Hub)— Onsky, a US company that makes smart home technologies, and local Quang Trung Software City unveiled the Onsky iRoomate solution for smart homes and security at the IoT (Internet of Things) conference held in HCM City on May 4.

Hung Nguyen, Onsky's chairman, said most current smart home solutions on the market are just to switch lights and appliances on and off through smart phones, but a iRoomate user does not even need to touch a phone or tablet to control their smart devices.

With its multiple embedded sensors, it can automatically control lights, air conditioners, heaters and fans for energy saving and comfort and is also a security centre with motion sensors that can detect intruders and send an alert to users' mobile devices, he said.

Lam Nguyen Hai Long, CEO of QTSC, said smart homes, smart buildings and smart cities would be the next big wave in the IT sector in Viet Nam. — VNS
