REDWOOD CITY, Calif. -- Icontrol Networks, the company behind the most widely-distributed interactive security and home automation platform in the industry, today announced that it is powering Bhome, a comprehensive smart home offering from Bezeq, Israel’s largest and leading telecommunications group. Bhome, based on Piper by Icontrol Networks, is a self-install, Wi-Fi-enabled All-In-One Home Security System that combines panoramic video, Z-Wave home automation and environmental sensors with mobile control. Bhome marks the first time Piper will be deployed as a platform for a service provider solution, highlighting its flexibility as both a B2C and B2B product.

Smart home technology available in the country is estimated at hundreds of shekels for basic products to tens of thousands of shekels for sophisticated control and monitoring products. With Bhome, Bezeq offers technology, support and service for only NIS 19.90 (equivalent to $5.28[1]) per month, making it the first affordable home automation solution available to the Israeli market.

As part of the launch of Bhome, Bezeq is establishing a smart home in the Netanya Ikea, as well as a smart home model onsite at the company’s headquarters in Tel Aviv, featuring Ikea furniture and other Israeli-made smart home devices.
