With the WaterStop water shut-off valve, Ajax moves from alarms and notifications (in this case, water leaks) to active actions that can be automated using the Ajax ecosystem of devices. As with everything released under the company's brand, WaterStop works exactly as you expect it to - easy to install, easy to configure, and works flawlessly with LeaksProtect detectors. WaterStop is designed to be installed not only at home, but also in public places such as offices, cinemas, restaurants, or cafes: an additional bracket protects the device from being removed without tools, and a tamper allows you to notify if someone has removed the electrically operated module from the tap. Together with overheating protection (the device can operate at ambient temperatures up to 60 °C) and use with tap water temperatures up to 120 °C, this makes Ajax WaterStop an important and reliable part of a smart home.

The Dreame Bot L10 Pro has proven to be a good all-round device. This is the optimal format for a robotic vacuum cleaner to keep your smart home clean. When it is clear that the house is smart (that is, you want to play with automation scripts in Mi Home), but there are no specific requirements. And sometimes they are. For example, if only dry cleaning is enough, we choose something simpler. If, on the contrary, you need to wash a lot and thoroughly, then we look towards specialized robotic mops. With large volumes of garbage - we ask the price for the options with a tank on the docking station, the same Dreame has a Z10 Pro model. Well, as an advanced universal solution, we are looking at something like Dreame Bot L10 Pro. Compared to competitors (for example, when compared with such models as the RoboRock S5 MAX or Roidmi Eve Plus) it stands out with much higher suction power, a large trash can and a navigation system. And finally, do not forget about the smart home: the support of a particular ecosystem can play an important role in the choice.

There is hardly a second company in Ukraine like Ajax Systems. Having set a goal to become a global market trendsetter for security systems, it has purposefully created its devices, distinguished not only by advanced technology, but also by a user-friendly application and Apple-style design (until now, all devices use only white or black plastic casing).

The Ukrainian company Ajax Systems — a developer of the similarly named security systems — presented an updated version of its security system. Just a couple of years ago, the company directed all its efforts toward the development of a "smart" house based on the idea that their system (sold, by the way, in European markets as well) is a good foundation for new functions. In the current update, Ajax added automation scenarios to its own OS Malevich operating system that allow you to perform certain actions during "scenario" cases. The functions of the Button were expanded, and a new MotionCam motion detector with photo verification was released. Now it is also possible to connect several ReX range extenders to one hub.
