When originally designing Mercator Ikuü we wanted a system that catered to users who wanted one or two products, all the way to full whole of home solutions or small-scale commercial settings. We wanted to provide the flexibility of buying into a platform that would be scalable over time as smart home in Australia grows […]

In order to […]
Motion sensors provide great utility to home owners and businesses alike as they provide improved home security and safety as well as being convenient and saving energy.

Mercator Ikuü features a wide range of ways products can interact together. Traditionally if you wanted 2 or more light switches to control the same bank of lights they’d need to be connected via cable. This is something that needs to be done by the electrician when they connect the switches to the lights [load] […]
As wireless communication devices such as those used in home automation became more prevalent, and interconnectivity between those devices became more highly desired – there became a need for a common protocol that was utilised by many different suppliers rather than a magnitude of proprietary systems. The Zigbee 3.0 protocol was ratified by over 300 […]

Mercator Ikuü smart downlights provide greater functionality than conventional downlights, giving you complete control of how your living space looks and feels throughout the day. Using the Mercator Ikuü app, downlights can be turned on and off (individually and within user-defined groups), brightness can be adjusted, and you can select colours from a spectrum of […]
It’s safe to do so, but functionality will be affected. Dimmers work by changing the voltage waveform applied to a load which, for compatible products, results in the reduced light output. If the voltage waveform applied to the smart downlight is altered, the downlight can no longer achieve maximum brightness. If the brightness level is […]
Yes. Whilst Mercator Ikuü products are larger due to the electronic componentry required for app control, they do fit into standard mounting accessories. However, this depends on how the cable enters the mount and how many cables are present. For example, it would be difficult to install 3x 2.5mm² cables within a mounting block entering […]
Typically there will be some effect as the product may not have a clear line of sight back to the router or hub. Mercator Ikuü switchgear is recommended in this instance where the switch is internal of the dwelling and hence not effected.
To a degree, metal stud frames and battens will impact the signal strength of Mercator Ikuü (but not completely). Walls and ceilings spaces permanently covered by foil insulation or silver foil sarking will show the greatest detriment of signal. Double brick, Colorbond steel cladding and similar will also affect the signal strength. In these situations, […]
No, only Mercator Ikuü smart lighting products such as downlights, ceiling lights and globes have an adjustable colour temperature that can be used via the app. Non-smart CCT products (such as the Mercator Optica downlight) can’t have this function controlled via the app.
