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 does villa automation cover?
Villa automation lets you manage every floor and the outdoor areas in a single flow.
- Lighting and scenes. Scenes and schedules are set up room by room; lights also work from the wall switch.
- Climate. Air conditioning and heating and cooling are controlled from the app; each room's temperature is shown next to the room.
- Curtains and blinds. Whether a curtain is open or closed is visible inside the room.
- Garden. Garden irrigation and outdoor lighting are in the same app.
- Security. The door lock and cameras are connected to the system.
Do you install in new villas or lived-in villas?
Both. We don't run cables or open walls: we install with wireless devices, so a lived-in villa needs no renovation either. If a new build has an installation such as KNX put in by your electrical contractor, we connect it to the app as well. With no cabling and none of the operational work that comes with it, we offer a cost advantage of up to 30% compared with a conventional wired installation.
My villa has a KNX installation. What happens?
We integrate your existing or new KNX installation into the NextForGen hub and app. Because KNX devices communicate over their own bus, your switches and key panels work independently of the app. A garden, terrace or room added later where no cable was run joins the same app with wireless devices.

How do scenes work in a villa?
A scene is several devices working together with one tap or one trigger. The trigger can be a time, sunset or a door opening.
- Good evening. When the front door opens after sunset, the entry and living room lights come on at 60% warm white, the living room air conditioner is set to 23 °C in quiet mode, and the curtains close.
- Terrace. The terrace lighting turns on at sunset.
These examples are not a real customer's home.
How does the villa look in the app?
The home is organized by room in the app: each room's lighting, climate and curtains are visible at a glance. At handover, every device is ready in your app with its name and room. The app runs on iOS and Android.
How is villa automation installed?
- Site survey. We see the villa 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.
We work out the schedule together during the survey. When installation is finished, we walk you through the system in the app step by step.
