🚚 Shipping & Delivery

Q: How much does shipping cost?

Q: Do you ship outside Lebanon? Currently, we deliver only within Lebanon. For bulk or commercial inquiries outside Lebanon, contact us directly.

Q: How can I track my order? Once dispatched, you’ll receive a confirmation via WhatsApp or SMS with your tracking details. You can also view order status by logging into your account at My Account.


🔧 Product Compatibility & Installation

Q: Will this product work with my existing smart home system? Most of our products support major ecosystems including Alexa, Google Home, eWeLink, Tuya Smart, and Apple HomeKit (where specified). For specific compatibility questions, contact our technical expert Walid via WhatsApp before purchasing.

Q: Do I need a hub to use SONOFF or Zigbee devices?

  • Wi-Fi devices: No hub needed—connect directly to your router
  • Zigbee devices: Require a Zigbee hub (we recommend the SONOFF iHost or compatible Zigbee gateway)
  • Matter devices: Work with any Matter-compatible smart home platform

Q: Can I install the products myself? Most plug-and-play products (cameras, smart bulbs, sensors, plugs) can be installed by anyone. Hardwired products (smart switches, circuit breakers, wall switches) require a licensed electrician. We strongly advise against DIY installation of high-voltage devices.

Q: Do you offer installation services? We can connect you with trusted technicians in your area. Contact us for installation referrals.

Q: What’s the difference between Wi-Fi, Zigbee, and Matter?

  • Wi-Fi: Direct internet connection, no hub needed, higher power draw
  • Zigbee: Low-power mesh network, requires a hub, more reliable for large setups
  • Matter: New universal standard, works across all major ecosystems

Q: My device isn’t connecting. What should I do? Check your router settings, ensure your phone is on the same 2.4GHz Wi-Fi network during setup, and follow the brand-specific app instructions (eWeLink, Tuya Smart, Mi Home). For live troubleshooting, reach out to Walid on WhatsApp.

💳 Payment

Q: What payment methods do you accept? We accept the following payment methods:

  • Cash on Delivery (COD) — pay in cash when your order arrives
  • Whish Money — Lebanese mobile payment transfer
  • OMT — money transfer at any OMT branch across Lebanon
  • Other local payment methods — available on request

Currently, we do not process credit card payments online. All payments are handled through trusted local channels or upon delivery.

Q: How does Cash on Delivery work? When you place an order, select Cash on Delivery at checkout. Our courier will collect payment in cash when delivering your order. Please have the exact amount ready.

Q: How do I pay using Whish Money or OMT? After placing your order, you’ll receive payment instructions via WhatsApp with our Whish or OMT account details. Send a screenshot of your transfer to confirm the payment, and we’ll dispatch your order immediately.

Q: Are prices in USD or LBP? All prices are listed in USD. You can pay in USD cash, or the equivalent in LBP at the current exchange rate (confirmed at the time of payment).

Q: When do I need to pay?

  • Cash on Delivery: Pay upon receiving your order
  • Whish / OMT / Local transfers: Pay before dispatch (order ships once payment is confirmed)
