What homeowners struggle with
- Too many disconnected apps and devices
- Integrators who disappear after installation
- Smart homes that feel complicated for families and guests
Saudi Smart Homes, Designed Around Your Life.
From concept to installation, Riwaq delivers a full smart home system with Arabic-first AI, premium hardware integration, and white-glove support.
Built for villas and premium residences in Saudi Arabia

7-year software support commitment
Why Riwaq is different
- One orchestrated experience, not device-by-device setup
- Saudi delivery team with on-site handover and support
- AI-driven automation tuned for Saudi home routines
Built for Saudi homes, not translated smart homes.
Riwaq turns Saudi household context into product behavior: prayer timing, Ramadan routines, majlis privacy, domestic-worker access, summer cooling, sandstorm response, and rooftop water realities.
Prayer time scenes
Lighting, quiet modes, and family reminders can follow local prayer timing instead of generic schedules.
Ramadan mode
Suhoor, iftar, taraweeh, guest hosting, and night cooling routines become first-class home scenes.
Majlis and guest privacy
Guest scenes can separate majlis access, camera behavior, audio, entry, and family areas.
Domestic-worker access profiles
Role-based access can keep service areas practical without opening every room or scene.
Sandstorm and AC guard
Saudi weather is not background context. Riwaq plans for sealing, cooling, filtration, and peak summer routines.
Rooftop water tank watch
Water level, heat, and leak workflows matter in Saudi homes and should sit beside lighting and security.
How Riwaq Works
We install a real control layer, not just a room full of smart bulbs.
Riwaq connects approved relays to light points, switches, selected sockets, and suitable electrical circuits. Every command then runs through the Riwaq backend brain before anything changes inside the home.
Device-by-device
Typical smart-home installs
- Usually depends on Zigbee bulbs, plug-in modules, and individual smart devices.
- Every room becomes a collection of devices that need pairing, maintenance, and battery attention.
- If a bulb is changed or a device is unplugged, the scene can weaken or break.
- Control sits at the device level, not as a unified electrical layer for the whole home.
Infrastructure-first
The Riwaq method
- We use hidden relays connected to approved electrical points across the home.
- Every relay talks to a custom backend brain designed, owned, and operated by Riwaq.
- Home Assistant stays as the control interface; Riwaq handles analysis, routing, and execution.
- Every command closes the loop with confirmation, so the system knows the real execution state.
What happens when you turn something off, dim a room, or run a scene?
Home Assistant remains the family-facing app. The Riwaq brain is the analysis and execution layer that understands the request, routes it to the right relays, performs the action, and sends confirmation back.
You make a request
The homeowner uses the Home Assistant app to control a light, socket, room, or full scene.
Riwaq integration receives it
A custom integration sends the request from Home Assistant to Riwaq's backend instead of relying on scattered devices.
The brain analyzes it
The backend understands the objective, checks context, and selects the right relays and electrical points.
Relays execute the action
Riwaq switches, dims, or coordinates the approved relay points installed inside the home.
Confirmation returns
The backend reports the result back to Home Assistant so the app reflects what actually happened.
Trust before scale
Trust has to be engineered before anyone installs hardware.
Smart homes touch voice, cameras, family routines, access, and energy. Riwaq should prove privacy posture, certification path, and pilot metrics before scaling.
Proof 01
Local-first data handling
The product direction keeps home behavior, voice, and sensor context on the home gateway unless a clear feature needs cloud support.
Proof 02
Saudi-resident cloud when needed
Lead capture and future backups are designed around Saudi data-residency expectations, not silent cross-border defaults.
Proof 03
Layered consent
Contact, support, backup, voice retention, and AI improvement should be separate customer choices.
Proof 04
SASO/Saber hardware certification path
Hardware claims stay tied to a certification path until product certificates are actually issued.
Proof 05
Founder-house validation path
The first proof target is a real Saudi family home before paid pilot houses scale the playbook.
Proof 06
10-home pilot metrics
Pilot success should be measured by uptime, Arabic command success, install cycle, support response, and buyer satisfaction.
New demo feature
Estimate the AC savings story before the first call.
Saudi homes spend most of the summer load on cooling. This demo estimate helps buyers see why automation matters before they share their details.
Demo estimate only. Final savings depend on insulation, equipment condition, occupancy, and tariff behavior.

Questions buyers ask before committing
Do I need to buy all devices from Riwaq?
No. Riwaq designs a compatible system and can integrate approved devices when reliability is preserved.
How long does installation take?
Typical projects take 2-8 weeks depending on construction stage and scope.
Can I start small and expand later?
Yes. Every package is designed to scale without redoing core infrastructure.
Do you offer post-install support?
Yes. Support plans include remote optimization, maintenance visits, and software updates.
