Amber Technology Expands Smart Home Solutions with ABB-free@home Partnership

Amber Technology is expanding its presence in the smart home automation sector with the addition of ABB-free@home® to its growing portfolio of intelligent living solutions.

This strategic move comes as part of an enhanced collaboration with ABB, a global leader in electrification and automation technologies. The integration of ABB-free@home® represents a substantial leap for Amber’s smart living offering, designed for both residential and light commercial installations. Engineered for user-friendly and scalable control, the system allows seamless management of lighting, blinds, climate control, and door communication via wall-mounted switches, laptops, or mobile devices.

Nathan Brady, General Manager of Integrated Solutions at Amber Technology, expressed strong confidence in the new addition, telling StereoNET:

“We’re excited to bring the ABB-free@home® platform to our customers. As the demand for integrated smart home and small business automation solutions continues to rise, we see this platform as a powerful, intuitive tool for modern installations — delivering sophistication without complexity.”

Though purpose-built for residential applications, ABB-free@home® is equally effective in light commercial environments, including multi-dwelling developments, aged care facilities, boutique hotels, and small NDIS projects. It offers the flexibility and customization modern users demand while maintaining a user-friendly interface for simple, effective automation.

One of its standout features is remote monitoring and control through the ABB-free@home® Next app and the cloud-based myBuildings platform. This provides homeowners, facility managers, and installers the capability to access and manage the system anytime, from anywhere—boosting both convenience and long-term support options.

Christian Schiemann, ABB’s Business Manager for Building Automation and Home Solutions, sees high potential for the platform in the Australian market, thanks to the deeper ties with Amber Technology:

“Amber’s market insight and technical expertise are critical to growing the ABB-free@home® installer network. Following our successful work together on the ABB i-bus® KNX platform, expanding into ABB-free@home® is the next logical step in delivering future-proof automation solutions.”

This partnership underscores Amber Technology’s commitment to future-ready smart home ecosystems, offering installers and integrators a robust, scalable option to deliver advanced automation across a wide variety of residential and commercial settings.

With the growing demand for connected living, automation, and integrated control technology, the introduction of ABB-free@home® to Amber’s lineup marks a major milestone—reinforcing its position as a leading distributor of intelligent building solutions in Australia.
