The Challenge

Old Anna Nagar plot with no ground rail option for sliding gate, plus owner wanted full smart home automation in a vintage compound. Limited civil work tolerance from neighbors.

The Solution

Italian cantilever gate hardware (no ground rail needed). KNX bus run during a partial interior refurbishment. Gate access integrated with smart home — when family arrives home, gate opens, lights turn on, AC pre-cools.

The Outcome

Single integrated system from gate to bedroom. Owner especially appreciates the unified Apple Home control.

“Most companies do gates OR smart home. Onwords did both as one system. The gate-arrives-home automation alone was worth it.”
