Time2 launches Clan smart home range

Kam Kothia, chief executive, said: "With the launch of Clan, Time2 is stepping into an exciting area of home technology that's expected to grow very quickly over the next few years. The 'smart home' is now where the smart phone was perhaps 12 years ago, ready to take off.

"And Clan does it in a way that's easy to use and just as easy on the pocket. The 21st century home doesn't have to be complicated or expensive."

The first Clan products will focus on home protection and monitoring: small, lightweight but technically advanced remote control cameras, remote control dimmable LED light bulbs and a remote control mains socket.

Everything will work together and be controllable from anywhere, at home or far away. Asking Alexa to dim the lights, check the heating or switch on the electric blanket will be a breeze with Alexa and Clan working together.
