NextForGen is a smart home and building automation company based in Maltepe, Istanbul. For villas, offices and residential projects it handles everything from site survey to handover; lighting, climate, curtains and security come together in one place in the NextForGen hub and app.
What is a smart office good for?
In a smart office, lighting and climate follow the working-hours schedule, arrival and departure scenes run with a single tap, and employees get access to just what they are authorized to use. This cuts down on lights left on needlessly and air conditioning running for nothing.
How do arrival and departure scenes work?
The arrival scene turns the office on at the start of the working day, and the departure scene turns it off with the last person out. A scene runs with a single tap or on the working-hours schedule; during the site survey we decide together which lights and air conditioners are included in the scene.
How is a meeting room controlled?
A wall panel can be installed for the meeting room. During the site survey we decide together which devices and scenes will be controlled from the panel.
What can employees control?
Employees get access to just what they are authorized to use. During the site survey we decide together who will use which devices and scenes.
Can it be installed in an existing office?
Yes. We install with wireless devices, without running cables or opening walls; if the building has an existing installation such as KNX, we connect it to the app as well. We plan the installation to disrupt the office as little as possible.
What if the building has a KNX installation?
We integrate your existing or new KNX installation into the NextForGen hub and app. Because KNX devices communicate over their own bus, wall switches and key panels work independently of the app. During the survey we decide together which parts of the building's installation will be integrated into the app.

Do you also look at hotel, restaurant and cafe projects?
Yes. We also do site surveys for hotel, restaurant and cafe projects.
How does a smart office installation go?
- Site survey. We see the office on site and note your needs room by room. It is free.
- Project. The device list and scenes come in a written quote; there is no cabling line item.
- Installation. Our team installs it and links every device to its room and name.
- Support. When you want to change something, we do it remotely or on site.
