Controlling Remotely (Outside of your home)

Controlling Remotely (Outside of your home)

To control your smart home while away or outside your home Wi-Fi network, a Nifty cloud subscription is required, starting from £9/month.

If you have not yet subscribed, please visit https://support.nifty.place to submit a request. Once subscribed, we will activate remote access for you.

This is a paid service because it covers the costs of maintaining a secure system, ongoing software development, and customer management to ensure a reliable and safe experience for all.
