Why renters choose Irabelle

The smart home you can take anywhere

Every system is designed around one rule: nothing permanent, nothing risky, nothing that follows you around with a monthly bill.

No drilling. No bond risk.

Adhesive-based, damage-free mounting for every sensor, switch and panel. Your deposit stays exactly where it is: yours.

  • Completely removable installation
  • No landlord permission needed
  • Leave it cleaner than you found it

Battery-powered everything

No wiring, no chasing cables through walls you don't own. Sensors run up to two years on a single battery.

  • Place them anywhere
  • Smart plugs & RF control for existing gear
  • Controlled by one app or voice

Moves with you

Your system is yours, not the property's. When you move, we pack, move and re-install everything at your new place.

  • We handle the relocation
  • New home, same system
  • Packages for every budget
What's included

Everything a rental flat actually needs

No nonsense extras. Just the automation that pays for itself in comfort, security and power savings.

Lights & switches

Smart bulbs and plugs replace nothing and change everything. Schedule, dim and control every light from your phone or your voice, then walk out of the door knowing nothing was left on.

Climate control

RF blasters and smart thermostats bring your heat pump, portable heater or AC into the system and warm the flat before you're home, without ever touching the wall.

Security & peace of mind

Get an alert the moment the door opens or motion is detected, whether you're away or asleep. Fully local, no footage leaving your flat.

Energy & comfort

Automations that run your heat pump and hot water when power is cheapest, and sensors that switch things off when nobody's home. Lower bills, less waste.

Common questions

Renting + smart home, explained

Can I get a smart home while renting?

Yes. Our renter installs use adhesive-based, damage-free mounting. No drilling, no holes in walls and no landlord permission required. Most installs are fully reversible in under an hour.

Can I take the system with me when I move?

Yes. Everything comes down cleanly and is reinstalled at your next place. We can even pack, move and re-install the whole system for you, or you can do it yourself with our guided checklist.

Does it need Wi-Fi or a subscription?

No. The system runs 100% locally inside your home, so it keeps working if your internet drops. There are no monthly fees. You pay once for hardware and installation.

What can you automate without permanent changes?

Lights and switches (smart bulbs and plugs), climate (RF-controlled heat pumps and portable AC), security (motion sensors, cameras, smart locks where the landlord allows), TVs and media, and voice control, all with battery-powered sensors that need no wiring.
