Consultation
We walk the property, look at your wiring and DB, and ask how you actually live in the space.
Free · 60–90 min
Come home to a house that's already ready.
DuneNest designs, installs and looks after smart home systems — lighting, climate, security, shading and audio, all running as one. No app-juggling, no half-finished setups.

What you'll actually control
Five systems, one set of controls.
Most homes end up with five apps that don't talk to each other. We design around a single control layer, so a scene like "Evening" moves everything at once — and every device still works if the internet drops.
L
Light
Dimmable circuits, colour temperature that shifts through the day, and scenes on the wall switch — not only in an app. Guests should be able to use your house.
- Circuit dimming
- Tunable white
- Scene keypads
- Motion & daylight sensing
C
Climate
Per-room targets instead of one thermostat fighting the whole villa. Cooling backs off when a room is empty and pre-cools before you get home.
- Zoned AC control
- Occupancy setback
- Humidity monitoring
- Energy reporting
S
Security & access
Cameras, smart locks, door and window contacts and a video doorbell, reporting to one place. Recorded locally by default, with cloud backup only if you want it.
- Smart locks
- Local NVR recording
- Video doorbell
- Away simulation
P
Perception
Cameras that tell a person from a parcel from a cat, and a house that reacts accordingly — porch light and unlock for someone you know, a clip on your phone for someone you don't, and silence for the neighbour's cat at 2am. Classification runs on a box in your home, not on someone's server.
- Face & familiar-visitor recognition
- Package detection
- Pet activity
- Vehicle & driveway
- Fall & occupancy sensing
A
Shading & audio
Motorised curtains and blinds tied to sun position — which matters more here than almost anywhere — plus multi-room audio that follows you between rooms.
- Motorised blinds
- Solar tracking
- Multi-room audio
- TV & projector integration
How a project runs
Five steps, and you know the price at step two.
No open-ended invoices. We survey, we quote a fixed figure, and that figure is what you pay unless you ask us to change the scope.
Design & fixed quote
A room-by-room device schedule, a wiring plan, and one price. You approve before anything is ordered.
3–5 days
Installation
Our own technicians, working around you. Existing homes are handled without re-wiring wherever possible.
1–10 days by scope
Handover
We build your scenes with you, label everything, and hand over documentation and admin access. You own the system.
Same week
Support
Two years of workmanship warranty, plus an optional care plan for updates and changes as your home changes.

Packages
Pick by what you want, not by tier.
These aren't good / better / best. They're four different jobs a smart home can do. Most clients start with one and add another later — the system is built so that's cheap to do.
Scopes shown are for a typical 2-bedroom apartment, supplied and installed. Villas, larger homes and buildings are scoped on site. Every package is quoted as one fixed figure after a free survey.
Connected Living
The starting point. Your lighting and AC stop being separate chores.
- Smart dimming on up to 8 circuits

Ultimate & Commercial
Every system on one controller for a villa, or a building-wide deployment for a landlord or facilities team — energy metering, access control, common-area automation and per-unit reporting. Scoped and priced after a site survey, because guessing here helps nobody.

After handover
The part most installers skip.
A smart home is software, and software drifts. Firmware updates, a replaced router, a new TV, a child who now needs their own scene. Every DuneNest install includes two years of workmanship warranty. The care plan covers everything that comes after that.
DuneNest Care
- Remote diagnostics and fixes, same business day
- Firmware and platform updates handled for you
- Two on-site visits per year included
- Scene changes and new devices added on request
- Priority scheduling ahead of new installs

Clients
What people say once they've lived with it.
"The motion-activated lighting and custom routines have made our lives much easier. It's like the house knows what we need."
"I love how everything works together. From lighting to climate control, the convenience is unmatched — DuneNest delivered on the promise."
"The team designed a custom solution for our rental building and it's been a game-changer. Energy management and security have never been this efficient."
Before you ask
The questions we get on every first call.
Do I need to re-wire or renovate?
Usually not. Most of what we install is retrofit — smart modules that sit behind your existing switches, wireless sensors, and battery or plug-in devices. We'll tell you at the survey if anything genuinely needs new cabling, and it goes in the quote before you commit.
What happens if the internet goes down?
Your switches, locks and thermostats keep working. We keep automations running on a local controller in your home, so the internet is only needed for remote access and voice assistants. This is a design choice and we won't build it any other way.
Where does the camera AI actually run?
On a small dedicated box inside your home. Faces, pets, parcels and vehicles are classified locally, and the footage stays on your recorder — we don't upload video to a third party to make the features work. Nothing leaves the house unless you turn on remote viewing, and you can exclude any camera or room from recognition entirely.
Am I locked into DuneNest afterwards?
No. We hand over full admin access, documentation and a device schedule at the end of every project. The system is yours and any competent integrator can work on it. The care plan is optional and cancellable monthly.
Which brands do you install?
We're platform-neutral and spec around what suits the property and your budget, favouring Matter-compatible hardware so nothing traps you. If you've already bought devices, bring the list to the consultation — we'll usually build around them rather than replacing them.
Where do you work?
Cairo and Greater Cairo for installation and on-site support — New Cairo, Sheikh Zayed, 6th of October, Maadi, Heliopolis and Zamalek. We take remote design and consulting work beyond that — get in touch and tell us where you are.
How long does an installation take?
An apartment package is typically one to three days on site. A full villa runs one to two weeks depending on shading and audio scope. You'll get a date range in the quote, and we work around you rather than moving you out.
