With the high cost of energy, plenty of small businesses could benefit from tado’s smart thermostat and radiator controls. It promises savings of 22% for the average customer, equating to about £300 a year. The same could be said for the Tapo smart home range from TP-Link. The number one networking manufacturer for 11 straight years, TP-Link sees the smart home as a logical next step and since introducing its Tapo brand to the UK three years ago, with energy-monitoring smart plugs, it has been adding to its range with smart bulbs, contact sensors, motion sensors, battery-operated outdoor cameras, smart light switches and, soon, a smart door bell. Plenty of cross-over appeal there. NETGEAR, another strong networking brand with a foot in both the business and consumer markets, was showing new whole home MESH Wi-Fi products and 5G mobile hotspots that are likely to resonate with the whole family, from teenage gamers to hybrid workers. This is just a small selection of the products on display at Exertis Exclusive.
