With a focus on user-friendly features and compatibility with Australian electrical standards, PIXIE simplifies the complexities of smart lighting.
Importantly PIXIE is supported in Australia by the team that engineers, designs and sells the smart home solution. We’ve not just gone overseas an bange dour brand on something someone else makes.
So what?
This means if you need help, or should something go wrong you can get guidance and support from the actual people who design and engineer the product.
I’ve tried to make consuming this information as easy as it is to get started with PIXIE by creating a few basic heading and then some bullet points. These are in turn linked where appropriate so you can explore ideas and concepts which appeal to your specific smart home needs in Australia,
