Make Any Home a Smart Home

Smart relays controlled over ESP-NOW, bridged to the cloud by a sheenbot mainboard and WiFi — switch lights, plugs, gates and the geyser from one sheenIoT dashboard, anywhere.

Why It Matters Here

A Smart Home Built for South Africa

Home automation here isn't about gadgets — it's about coping with load-shedding, securing the property and cutting the bill, even in homes that were never wired for it.

Load-Shedding

Know what’s on, shed non-essential loads automatically, and bring geysers and pumps back in a controlled sequence when power returns.

Security

Control gates, garage doors and lights remotely, and trigger “away” scenes that make the home look lived-in.

Energy Cost

The geyser and pool pump are the biggest loads in the house — schedule and meter them to slash the monthly bill.

No Smart Wiring

Older homes have no smart-home infrastructure. Drop-in relays retrofit existing circuits without rewiring the house.

WiFi Dead Zones

WiFi rarely reaches the gate, garage or outbuildings. ESP-NOW links those nodes router-free, then one hub carries them to the cloud.

One Place to Run It

Lights, plugs, geyser, gate and cameras scattered across apps. sheenIoT puts the whole house on a single dashboard.

Three Parts, One Smart Home

Smart relays do the switching, ESP-NOW links them without a router, and a sheenbot mainboard bridges the lot to WiFi and the sheenIoT dashboard.

Smart Relays

Retrofit relay nodes switch lights, plugs, the geyser, gates and pumps on existing circuits — no rewiring.

ESP-NOW Mesh

Nodes talk directly to each other over ESP-NOW — router-free, low-latency and low-power, reaching the gate and garage.

sheenbot Hub + sheenIoT

A sheenbot mainboard bridges the ESP-NOW mesh to WiFi and the cloud, so one dashboard runs and automates the whole house.

The Architecture

From a Light Switch to the Cloud

Relay nodes report and take commands over the ESP-NOW mesh; the sheenbot hub is the single point that bridges that mesh to WiFi and sheenIoT.

One Dashboard, Total Remote Control

Everything lives in the sheenIoT dashboard — open it on a phone or a browser and you have full remote control of your home, from your desk or the other side of the country. (Go on — tap the switches.)

  • Switch lights, plugs, the geyser, gates and pumps remotely — anytime, anywhere.
  • See live power draw and which loads are on, room by room.
  • Build scenes and schedules (away, night, load-shedding) and deploy them over the air.
  • Get instant alerts on the gate, a tripped circuit or power returning.
  • Let AI learn your routine and shift big loads to the cheapest, safest time.
Around the House

What You Can Automate

Lighting & Plugs

Switch and schedule lights and appliances; flip everything off with one ‘leaving home’ tap.

Geyser & Pool Pump

Time the home’s biggest loads, and pause them automatically during peak or load-shedding.

Gates & Garage

Open the driveway gate or garage from your phone, with an alert each time it moves.

Security Scenes

Trigger lights and cameras on motion, and run ‘away’ scenes that look lived-in.

Load-Shedding Logic

Shed non-essential circuits before the lights go out and restore them in a safe order.

Climate & Sensors

Add temperature, motion, door and water-leak sensors to trigger any relay automatically.
