Our history
Our philosophy is to only create brands that we want for ourselves. So each idea has started with a problem that we would like to solve for ourselves. In this case, we started a webshop called "Smarthomebutiken.se" where we sold smart home products that was allready out on the market, as a pure retail shop.
But we quickly realized that the systems with different protocols, different "hubs" and other complicated solutions was not what we wanted in a smart home. That was when we stumbled upon the Tuya-plaftorm.
The biggest advantages with Tuya was that every smart home product was directly connected to WiFi. No "hub" was needed and the response time when sending a command to a device was extremely quick in comparison with all the other systems we had seen before. On top of that, we were able to add any Tuya-based product to the app and we could use automation functions that did not even exist in Sweden yet, such as geofencing and weather based on your home location.
We quickly realized that Tuya was one of the biggest smart home platforms in the world, but it was not represented too much in Sweden, or even in europe. So it was time for us at Intelligent Brands to create a new brand, it was called "SmartLife Scandinavia".
