Amber Technology Expands Smart Home Solutions with ABB-free@home Partnership
Amber Technology has strengthened its footprint in the smart home automation sector by adding ABB-free@home® to its growing portfolio.
The move is part of an expanded partnership with ABB, the global technology leader in electrification and automation. The inclusion of ABB-free@home® marks a significant step forward in Amber’s offering to the residential and light commercial installation market. Tailored for intuitive and scalable control, ABB-free@home® enables seamless management of key home systems — including lighting, blinds, heating, air conditioning, and door communication — through switches, laptops, or mobile devices.
Nathan Brady, General Manager of Integrated Solutions at Amber Technology, told StereoNET the addition was a natural evolution in meeting the increasing demand for future-ready smart home systems:
Our residential installation team is thrilled to introduce the ABB-free@home® range to our customers. As demand for smart home and small business solutions continues to grow, we see ABB-free@home® as an intuitive platform that simplifies automation without compromising functionality.
While designed with homes in mind, ABB-free@home® is equally suited to light commercial projects — including multi-dwelling units, aged care residences, small NDIS facilities, and boutique hotels — offering versatility across various environments.
Remote access via the ABB-free@home® Next app and ABB’s myBuildings platform ensures that users and installers can manage and support systems from anywhere, improving convenience and ongoing support capabilities.
Christian Schiemann, ABB’s Business Manager for Building Automation and Home Solutions, said the extended partnership with Amber Technology positions ABB-free@home® to reach new heights in the Australian market:
Amber’s expertise and market reach will play a key role in expanding the installer network, making ABB-free@home® the smart home solution of choice. We’re excited to build on our successful collaboration with Amber through the ABB i-bus® KNX platform and now ABB-free@home®.
With this strategic expansion, Amber Technology continues to reinforce its commitment to delivering integrated, intelligent solutions for modern living and working spaces.

applause awards
Each time StereoNET reviews a product, it is considered for an Applause Award. Winning one marks it out as a design of great quality and distinction – a special product in its class, on the grounds of either performance, value for money, or usually both.
Applause Awards are personally issued by StereoNET’s global Editor-in-Chief, David Price – who has over three decades of experience reviewing hi-fi products at the highest level – after consulting with our senior editorial team. They are not automatically given with all reviews, nor can manufacturers purchase them.
The StereoNET editorial team includes some of the world’s most experienced and respected hi-fi journalists with a vast wealth of knowledge. Some have edited popular English language hi-fi magazines, and others have been senior contributors to famous audio journals stretching back to the late 1970s. And we also employ professional IT and home theatre specialists who work at the cutting edge of today’s technology.
We believe that no other online hi-fi and home cinema resource offers such expert knowledge, so when StereoNET gives an Applause Award, it is a trustworthy hallmark of quality. Receiving such an award is the prerequisite to becoming eligible for our annual Product of the Year awards, awarded only to the finest designs in their respective categories. Buyers of hi-fi, home cinema, and headphones can be sure that a StereoNET Applause Award winner is worthy of your most serious attention.
