About JSJS Designs
JSJS Designs develops home automation systems to enable consumers to remotely operate everyday household appliances such as lighting, heating, air conditioning, door entry, audio, video and security. The Company is targeting the potentially significant mass market as consumers increasingly seek to "retro-fit" smart home technologies into their homes and, in the longer term, the "extra care" residential market where there is demand from the providers of such schemes to enable independent living for the elderly and physically immobile.
