Compatibility
Bring voice control and wider smart-home compatibility into your HALO setup.
Pick your first win. Each path gives you a clear backbone, a useful first automation and room to grow later.
Start with a Zigbee Gateway, four Smart Plugs and a 24 GHz Presence Sensor to bring lamps and plug-in appliances into HALO with app control, energy monitoring and smarter occupancy-based routines from day one.
Starter pack
Use Hub Mini as your wall-mounted control point, then add four Smart Plugs and a 24 GHz Presence Sensor to build a compact HALO setup with lamp schedules, voice control and more intelligent presence-based automation.
Starter pack
Position Hub Max as the central control point, then add four Smart Plugs, a 24 GHz Presence Sensor and a Smart PIR for a top-spec starter kit built around full-house visibility, better occupancy sensing and room-by-room expansion.
Starter pack
Each path gives you a clear first win — from easy lamp control to centralised whole-home automation — while keeping room to expand later.
Choose one gateway option, then add the devices you want.
Step 01
Choose one HALO backbone to start the system. This is the only required step.
Gateway suits discreet installs by the router, Hub Mini suits smaller homes and room-by-room control, and Hub Max suits more central full-home control.
Step 02
Add sensors based on how the room behaves — or skip this step.
PIR suits hallways, landings and pass-through spaces. Presence sensing suits kitchens, offices, bedrooms and living areas where people may sit still.
Step 03
Add proper wall control where people expect it — or leave this out.
Best for bedrooms, kitchens, living rooms, dining spaces and anywhere you want proper wall control plus HALO routines.
Step 04
Add plug-in control the easy way — without touching the wiring.
Great for lamps, fans, coffee machines, festive lighting and other everyday plug-in electricals.
Step 05
Add behind-the-scenes control without rebuilding the room.
Best for existing ceiling lights, wall lights and retrofit projects where you want smarter control without starting again.
Step 06
Here is your selected backbone and any optional devices you added. You can still go back and change anything before going to cart.

Product information

One system, built in layers — backbone, sensing, control and room upgrades.
Everything people usually want to know before they choose a HALO setup — compatibility, reliability, installation and support.
In most cases, yes. HALO needs one central control point to bring everything together. Choose the Zigbee Gateway if you want a discreet hub by your router, or choose Hub Mini or Hub Max if you want a wall-mounted control screen with the Zigbee hub built in.
One of the big advantages of HALO is that it is built around Zigbee, so your devices are not all relying on Wi-Fi on their own. That helps the system feel more stable and responsive. In gateway-led setups, core local automations can continue running even if your Wi-Fi drops for a while.
Motion sensing is ideal for spaces people pass through, such as hallways, landings and utility rooms. Presence sensing is better for rooms where someone may sit still for longer, such as a bedroom, living room or home office. In simple terms: motion notices when you move through a space, while presence is better at noticing that you are still there.
Yes — that is a big part of the appeal. HALO is designed so you can improve a room in stages rather than start again. That might mean adding a smart switch, a hidden dimming module, a smart plug for lamps, or a room controller on the wall, depending on what you want the room to do.
It depends on the product. Items such as Hub Mini, Hub Max, smart switches, dimming modules and the 240V presence sensor should be installed by a qualified electrician. Simpler products such as the Smart Plug, battery PIR sensor and Zigbee Repeater are much easier ways to get started.
You do not need to figure it all out alone. Our Help Hub brings together setup guides, troubleshooting, practical advice and support information in one place, so it is easy to find what you need before or after buying.

Three different ways a smart lighting system can feel once it is living in your home.
Cheapest place to start
Fine for a few gadgets, less seamless as more devices build up
Often depends on the individual device and app experience
Good for single plugs, bulbs or one-room experiments
Less likely to feel like one joined-up system over time
More system-led without premium custom-install pricing
Built to feel like a proper lighting system rather than a pile of gadgets
Zigbee backbone and room-by-room structure make the system feel more coherent
Great for people who want something better without going fully custom-install
