Revolutionising Home Electrification with ClickSmart

There’s a moment after a long surf when you’re just lying on your board, looking back at the shore — that quiet calm where everything feels in rhythm. That’s what a well-wired home should feel like too: everything flowing neatly, no chaos, no wasted energy. Just smooth, easy control.

That’s where ClickSmart comes in — one of those clever bits of innovation that actually makes sense in the real world. It’s smart home tech that doesn’t try to be flashy or complicated. It’s practical, clean, and flexible — and as a local electrician here in Exeter, I’ve found it’s exactly the sort of kit that fits how Devon homeowners actually live.

So, What’s ClickSmart Then?

ClickSmart is a range of smart controls and wiring accessories made by Scolmore, designed to help turn a standard electrical setup into a connected, energy-efficient system — without ripping walls apart or replacing everything you’ve already got.

You can think of it as the middle ground between traditional switches and the big, expensive smart home systems that need a full rewire. ClickSmart lets you control your lighting, heating, and power remotely via simple modules, smart receivers, and switches — no faff, no fuss.

The best part? You can start small and expand as you go. It’s not an all-or-nothing deal.

Why It’s Ideal for Exeter Homes

Around Exeter and Devon, most homes weren’t built with smart tech in mind. We’ve got everything from centuries-old stone cottages to 1980s semis to sleek new builds near the coast. So when people ask me about smart upgrades, the worry is usually: “Do I need to tear the place apart?”

With ClickSmart — not a chance.

  • It works beautifully in retrofit jobs — meaning you can add smart functionality to existing wiring.

  • It’s perfect for extensions or loft conversions, where you’re already running new circuits.

  • It’s ideal for energy-conscious homeowners who want to save on bills without getting lost in tech.

Whether it’s controlling the garden lights from the sofa, switching on heating before you get home, or setting a “movie mode” with dimmed lighting — it all works through a clean, reliable wireless setup.

How It Actually Works

At its core, ClickSmart uses RF (radio frequency) communication to link smart receivers and transmitters. You fit a receiver module behind your existing switch or inside a junction box, pair it with a wireless controller or wall switch, and voilà — instant smart control.

There’s also the ClickSmart+ range, which connects to Wi-Fi and lets you control everything from your phone or through Alexa/Google Assistant. You can set timers, group circuits, or even automate scenes — like switching all your outside lights off when you head to bed.

What I like is that it’s all modular and scalable. Start with one room, test it out, then build it up as you go.

Smart Home, Devon Style

Let’s be real — most people around here just want things to work. We’re not trying to live in a Silicon Valley showroom; we just want our homes to be efficient, reliable, and a bit clever when it makes sense.

ClickSmart hits that sweet spot. It’s proper British-made kit, solidly built, and it plays nicely with the kind of wiring you’ll find in Exeter homes. Plus, it keeps things affordable. You get smart control and energy savings without spending a fortune or overcomplicating life.

And for me as a sparky, it’s one of those systems that’s just satisfying to install — the wiring’s tidy, the app works, and customers get that little “oh that’s smart!” moment when they try it. That’s the good stuff.

Where It Really Shines

Here are a few ways I’ve seen ClickSmart make a difference in local homes:

  • Garden lighting: Switch it on from inside without trailing cables or running outside on a rainy Devon evening.

  • Security setups: Combine motion sensors with lighting scenes for better peace of mind.

  • Energy control: Set timers so heating or outdoor sockets don’t stay on longer than needed.

  • Accessibility: Great for elderly residents who benefit from easy control without complicated gadgets.

  • Mood lighting: Create relaxing setups for dining, movie nights, or those calm post-surf evenings.

It’s not just about flash — it’s about function that fits everyday life.

Safety and Simplicity First

Smart systems can get messy when they’re overcomplicated, but ClickSmart keeps things safe, modular, and compliant. The gear uses proper enclosures and connectors, meets wiring regs, and doesn’t interfere with existing circuits if installed correctly.

No cowboy gadgets, no DIY Wi-Fi nightmares — just clean, certified, pro-grade tech that any qualified electrician can fit properly.

A New Kind of Home Flow

I like to think of ClickSmart as helping your home “breathe” better. When lighting, heating, and energy use all work in sync — without switches everywhere and constant manual tweaks — it gives your space a natural kind of rhythm.

Like catching a clean right-hander at Dawlish or watching the tide roll back in — it just flows.

And that’s the future of electrics done right: smart, but simple.

In a Nutshell

  • ClickSmart brings smart control to Exeter homes without the need for rewiring.

  • It’s modular, wireless, and ideal for retrofits or extensions.

  • Perfect for improving energy efficiency and home comfort.

  • Made for real homes, by a company that understands sparkies and homeowners alike.

Future-proof, affordable, and easy to expand.
