Once the stuff of sci-fi movies and tech showrooms abroad, smart homes residences equipped with interconnected devices that can be controlled remotely or automatically are steadily becoming part of Nigeria’s residential reality. Rising urbanization, a growing middle class, the pursuit of energy efficiency, and increased awareness of home security have all contributed to the adoption of smart technologies.
While the term smart home might conjure up images of luxury estates with robot assistants, the reality in Nigeria is more pragmatic and accessible. In different cities in Nigeria, tech-savvy homeowners are embracing innovations like automated lighting, app-controlled gate systems, smart surveillance, and energy-monitoring tools.
Here are five companies leading the charge, helping Nigerians create homes that are safer, smarter, and more sustainable.

3. Schneider Electric Nigeria
Schneider Electric’s Home Control portfolio in Nigeria offers integrated solutions for managing lighting, climate, appliances, and entertainment, primarily using advanced wiring systems like KNX or SpaceLogic protocols. These systems are designed to replace traditional wiring infrastructures in new builds or significant retrofits, enabling centralized control of home systems for residential and small-business settings.
While the consumer-facing Wiser Smart Home line has been discontinued in Nigeria, Schneider’s Home Control solutions remain relevant especially in homes and luxury buildings looking for scalable automation frameworks. These systems support coordinated operations across lights, HVAC, motorized curtains, security systems, sensors, and energy control via wired protocols like KNX or Schneider’s proprietary interfaces.
Users of Home Control systems benefit from preset “moments” (e.g. “goodnight,” “movie time”) and scene management that can be triggered manually or scheduled automatically. The resulting setup supports enhanced ambience, convenience, operational efficiency, and energy savings, all with premium finishes like AvatarOn or Unica panel ranges for switches and sensors.
In practical terms, Schneider’s platform is favoured for:
a. Reliable, expandable automation across multiple functions.
b. Integration with UPS/inverter systems, surge protection, and electric vehicle chargers A design-led approach that prioritizes aesthetics, safety, and consistent performance.
Though it requires professional setup and may come at a premium, Schneider’s Home Control suite remains a robust backbone for luxury and biodigital-ready homes in Nigeria, providing the infrastructure for sophisticated smart environments even in the absence of its Wiser consumer modules.

One notable installation involved an elite villa where Hausba engineered motorized roller shutters to protect glass curtain walls without obstructing natural light, integrated biometric access control for elevators, and UHD video distribution, all orchestrated through a Control4 interface for unified control.
Hausba’s approach is not only technical but experiential, aiming to transform homes into responsive, luxurious environments. Customers benefit from remote monitoring, predictive support, and a design-first ethos that balances comfort with futuristic convenience.
