WRK Smart brings the systems you already use into one simple platform — at home, across property or throughout a building.
WRK Smart does not replace all your smart systems. It connects the systems you already use and gives you one simple place to control them — the same platform and controller scales from a single home to property portfolios and commercial buildings.

One system. However you happen to reach for it.
WRK Smart does not make you learn a new habit. Hardware surfaces are supported where they are installed — WRK does not manufacture keypads or remotes.

WRK Smart is being shaped around a real multi-system UK property, so it solves genuine integration problems rather than demo ones.

Your CCTV, inside the same app
WRK Smart works with Hikvision / Hik-Connect cameras and NVRs, alongside the alarm, doorbell and access systems you already have.

OnlinePerson detected · 18:42Recorded locally on the NVR
Camera tiles and event history sit next to lighting, climate and energy. Viewing a camera is separate from alarm control — arming, disarming, locks, gates and the garage always ask for explicit confirmation first.
How the integration works
- Cameras stay on the local network; the WRK Smart Controller reads channels and events on site.
- Credentials are entered by the installer at commissioning and held in the controller vault — never in this app.
- The Hik-Connect app is still used for firmware and channel commissioning.
- Exact model and firmware behaviour: To verify from manufacturer integration guide.
Current WRK support status: Verified Local · Local. WRK Smart integrates with Hikvision equipment; this is not a partnership, accreditation or endorsement.

Stops heat being thrown away on a mild afternoon.

Shifting the EV to 13:00–16:00 would use your own solar instead of evening import.

Your systems
Lighting, climate, cameras…
Secondary — WRK cloud
Remote access, updates, backups and support — outbound only.
Local scenes and schedules
Run on the controller, not in a data centre.
Local communication where supported
Vendor cloud used only where a system offers no local path.
Secure remote bridge
Outbound only — no inbound ports opened on your router by default.
Integration health
WRK sees when a system stops reporting, often before you do.
Backups and managed updates
Configuration protected and updates applied in tested rings.
Essential local operation keeps working
Internet down? Local scenes, schedules and automations keep running.
Upgrade my home
Already a WRK home? Grow it a step at a time.
Suggestions based on how the system actually performs.
Improve Garden Wi-Fi
Why: Outdoor coverage drops below usable signal past the patio.
Outcome: Reliable cameras, speakers and controls outside.
Add Bedroom Smart Heating
Why: Bedrooms share one schedule with the whole first floor.
Outcome: Per-room comfort and lower overnight waste.
Add Solar Intelligence
Why: Export is high while flexible loads run at peak tariff.
Outcome: More of your own generation used at home.
Improve Front Door Security
Why: Doorbell and lock are managed in separate vendor apps.
Outcome: One confirmed, audited entry experience.

Built for new homes. Works with existing homes.
Four steps, whichever kind of home you have.
Survey · controller · connections · commissioning. Then it is yours.
Retrofit
An existing home, lived in, decorated, and staying that way.
We work with what is already there. Most of the intelligence lands on the controller and the network, not in your walls.
New build
Cabling, containment and capacity planned before the plaster.
Infrastructure first: structured cabling, PoE budget, rack position and zone map, so the house can grow later without a second first fix.
Upgrade an existing system
You already have smart kit. It just does not act like one system.
We keep what works, retire what does not, and bring the rest under one interface with one set of scenes.

Survey
We look at the property, the network and what you already own.

Commissioning
Rooms, scenes, schedules and tests, then a proper handover.

Builders & developers
Repeatable packages, plot by plot.
Architects & designers
Technology you specify, then stop seeing.
Property operators & commercial
Sites, zones and operating hours.
Support that stays with the home
Looked after, not just installed.
Essential local control never depends on a subscription. If our cloud went away tomorrow, your lights, heating, blinds and scenes would still work inside the property.
Software and security updates
Applied to the controller in maintenance windows, with a rollback point taken first.
Backups
Your rooms, scenes and schedules are backed up so a hardware swap is an afternoon, not a rebuild.
Controller health
We can see whether the controller is healthy and which integrations are unhappy.
Remote support, only if you allow it
Time-limited, permissioned and written to the audit log. Off by default.
Expansion and recommissioning
Add a room, a camera or a heating zone later and the design record is updated, not re-keyed.
