Home Hub

An integrated home platform that brings broadband, energy management, security, and family controls into a single interface. The premise is that connectivity, energy, and home services work better together than separately.

The prototype demonstrates real-time energy monitoring with smart meter data, Wi-Fi 7 mesh management, AI-driven insights, and unified family controls. Telcos already have hardware in every home and increasingly hold energy data; this explores what a platform built on that position could look like.

Interactive Home Hub Demo

The core prototype shows how broadband, energy, security, and family controls can be orchestrated inside one in-home operating layer, with the interactive app loading on demand to keep the page itself fast.

Why This Matters

UK broadband providers are sitting on an unrealised platform. They already have hardware in every home, relationships with energy suppliers via the smart meter rollout, and the technical capability to integrate security and home automation. What is missing is the software layer that ties it together and turns it into daily value.

Home Hub explores what that could look like: a single interface built around the gateway that makes connectivity, energy, security, and family controls genuinely useful together rather than separately.

For Operators

Churn reduction through daily engagement. ARPU uplift via premium tiers. Referral revenue from energy switching. A value proposition that extends well beyond connectivity.

For Households

One place to see energy costs, manage connectivity, and keep on top of home security and family context. Multiple services, one interface.

For the wider system

A platform layer that enables demand flexibility, better household data, and a practical route to higher-value services without starting from scratch.
