Best Smart Home Kits Available in Egypt
- Starter Kit — from 1,500 EGP: Includes 2–3 Sonoff Mini R4 (or ZBMINIL2 Zigbee) smart switches, one smart plug, and the eWeLink app. Ideal for a first trial in the living room or master bedroom. No wiring changes needed — just an electrician to fit the devices into existing switch boxes.
- Complete Zigbee Kit — from 5,000 EGP: Sonoff ZBBridge Pro or NSPanel Pro hub + 5–8 Zigbee switches + 2–3 smart plugs. Works fully offline without internet and supports 50+ devices. Covers a 3-room apartment completely. Best value for money in Egypt.
- Full Smart Lighting Kit — from 8,000 EGP: Zigbee switches for all rooms + dimmable bulb controllers + motion sensors for corridors and bathrooms. Provides full lighting control with schedules and scenes (cinema, sleep, wake). Saves 20–35% on lighting bills.
- Smart AC Kit — from 3,000 EGP: Zigbee or WiFi smart thermostat + IR controller for older split ACs. Learns your schedule and pre-cools before you arrive home. Compatible with most Egyptian split ACs. Saves 15–25% on AC bills.
- Smart Security Kit — from 4,500 EGP: Indoor IP camera (Zigbee or WiFi) + door and window sensors + smart video doorbell. Everything connects to one mobile app. Dahua and Hikvision smart cameras are the most common in Egypt. Suitable for rental apartments and families with children.
- Full Apartment Kit — from 12,000 to 20,000 EGP: Combines all the above into one integrated package: lighting + AC + security + electric curtains (optional). Installed, programmed, and warranted by one company. Ases Kahraba provides these packages with professional electrical infrastructure and work warranty.
- What to check before buying any kit: (1) Is there a neutral wire in the switch box? If not, choose Sonoff Mini R4 or ZBMINIL2. (2) Does the router cover the whole apartment? If not, you need Zigbee. (3) Are all devices in the kit on the same protocol? Don't mix WiFi and Zigbee without a hub.

Smart Home Kit — Frequently Asked Questions
What is a smart home kit and what does it include?
A smart home kit is a set of compatible devices sold together. It typically includes smart switches, smart plugs, and sometimes a hub. The idea is devices that work together out of the box without needing to research compatibility yourself.
What is the cheapest smart home kit in Egypt?
The cheapest kit starts from ~1,500 EGP: two Sonoff Mini R4 switches and a smart plug. This gives remote lighting control from your phone. For a more stable system without internet dependency, start with a Zigbee kit from ~3,500 EGP (hub + 3 Zigbee switches).
Does a smart home kit need an electrician to install?
Always yes. Smart home switches are installed inside electrical boxes in the wall and handle 220V mains. Even with simple devices, safety requires a qualified electrician. Ases Kahraba provides professional installation service with any kit.
Does the Sonoff Zigbee kit work without internet?
Yes, if you use a local hub. Sonoff ZBBridge Pro with Home Assistant or NSPanel Pro runs devices locally even if the internet goes down. However, if you use the bridge with only the eWeLink cloud app, you'll need internet for remote control.
Does the kit work with Alexa and Google Home?
Most Sonoff and Tuya kits available in Egypt support Alexa and Google Home. The eWeLink (Sonoff) and Smart Life (Tuya) apps support direct linking. KNX and HDL require a special gateway to connect to these platforms.
How long does installing a smart home kit take in an apartment?
Starter kit (2–4 devices): 2–3 hours. Full Zigbee kit for a 3-room apartment: 6–8 hours. Full apartment kit with curtains and security: a full workday (8–10 hours). This includes installation, programming, and testing.
