Conn

What Conn does

Conn is a French online retailer operating the Konyks brand (konyks.com), founded in 2017 and headquartered in Toulouse, with a workforce of 1-10 employees led by founder and president Olivier Medam. The company sells Wi-Fi connected devices — smart plugs, lighting, indoor/outdoor security cameras, smoke and water-leak detectors, door/window sensors, smart switches for roller shutters, heating/cooling controllers, and solar-powered garden irrigation — unified under a single mobile app (Konyks App, iOS and Android) and integrated with Google Home, Amazon Alexa, Siri Shortcuts, and Home Assistant.

The product architecture runs on the Tuya/Smart Life cloud platform, allowing Conn/Konyks devices to interoperate with thousands of third-party products without requiring a separate hub. The company holds CE marking across its product line (Radio Equipment Directive 2014/53/EU, RoHS) and NF EN14604 certification for the FireSafe 2 smoke detector, and operates under GDPR/RGPD for data protection. The business model is direct-to-consumer hardware sales, with per-device pricing in the €24.90-€129.90 range, pre-configured bundles (Les Packs), and a refurbished product line (Reconditionnés); products are stocked in France with 2-3 day domestic delivery. No revenue, funding, or customer concentration figures are publicly disclosed.

Note on source data: the aggregated input also references a separate U.S. retailer (Conn's Corporation) that filed for bankruptcy in 2024 and a Hong Kong-listed subsidiary called Conn under Green Leader Holdings Ltd; both are distinct entities from the Konyks/SAS Apynov operation and are not conflated in this analysis.

Product overview

Note: The company name in the source data is 'Conn' based on the provided company parameter, but the web content is from konyks.com (Konyks), a French smart home company. The news articles mention 'Conn' as a subsidiary of Green Leader (a Hong Kong-listed retailer that filed for bankruptcy in 2024) and as a U.S. furniture/home goods retailer. The web content for 'Conn' specifically appears limited to news mentions. If referring to Konyks smart home products instead, the portfolio consists of a unified ecosystem centered on the Konyks mobile app, with products across smart heating/cooling, security cameras, smart plugs, sensors (smoke, water leak, door/window, motion), smart lighting, switches, and garden irrigation devices. Products integrate with Tuya/Smart Life platforms and support voice assistants (Google Home, Alexa, Siri). The product line includes both individual devices and bundles, with some refurbished options available. The company is operated by SAS Apynov based in Toulouse, France.
