VBH GETS A SMART IQ WITH KUBU

VBH, the highly respected international hardware manufacturer, have partnered up with smart-sensor experts Kubu to develop their next generation greenteQ iQ range of locking systems, that can now form part of a smart, connected home.

Kubu is the go-to brand when it comes to smart sensor technology in windows and doors, and the fact that VBH have chosen to partner up with this platform is clear recognition of a market leader with a proven platform. Within the greenteQ iQ range are both window and door locks that ‘Works With’ Kubu, along with the option of the new retro-fit sensors, opening up a whole new world of sales and tech opportunities.

Geo-fencing features and the fact that Kubu can integrate with Alexa, Apple HomeKit and Google Assistant among others make it a standout security choice for the connected home, as Simon Monks, managing director of VBH GB points out. He said: ‘Smart technology for windows and doors will be a fundamental part of the future direction of this industry and so it’s important for VBH to play an active role in this. Kubu is the standout technology for the sector, and we’re thrilled to have been able to develop a new range of locking systems that ‘Works With Kubu’, and that requires no change in manufacturing process. Activation is also super simple at the point of installation with a Kubu smart module.’

Ryan Bromley, founder of Kubu Smart, was equally enthusiastic and added: ‘The fact that VBH wanted to partner up with us reflects our position as a market leader when it comes to smart security technology in windows and doors. They see the vision and opportunity in a smarter future, and we are very excited to be working with VBH to bring the Kubu revolution to a whole new segment of the industry. Already the sales and activation levels of Kubu in 2023 are well over budget, which will help make it the smartest year yet for the industry.’
