iHaus

What iHaus does

iHaus (legal name Công ty Cổ phần iHaus) is a Vietnamese smart home systems integrator and exclusive distributor founded in 2007 and headquartered in Hanoi, with a regional office in Ho Chi Minh City. The company delivers integrated MEP (mechanical, electrical, and plumbing) and home-automation solutions built on the KNX open building-automation standard (ISO/IEC 14543-3), with active installations dating back to projects at The Manor My Dinh and Pacific Place in 2007. Its product portfolio is sourced from a stack of premium European brands for which it holds Vietnamese distribution rights: Etherma (Austrian radiant floor heating), Viessmann (German heat pumps and HRV ventilation), Steinel (German sensors and LED lighting), Revox (Swiss multi-zone audio), Ekinex (Italian KNX switches), DIVUS (video door intercoms and touchscreens), and Weinzierl (KNX infrastructure components).

The company sells to high-net-worth Vietnamese homeowners, premium property developers, and luxury hotels through a field-sales model centered on free on-site surveys, custom system design, and project-based implementation out of two showrooms. Revenue mechanics combine hardware resale of European components, professional installation and engineering services, and ongoing system integration / managed services for projects typically spanning 300-900 m² of floor area with 50-100+ KNX control points. GTM is enterprise-style: showroom visits, direct consultation, and word-of-mouth referrals within Vietnam's premium residential developments such as Ciputra, Vinhomes Riverside, Pacific Place, Golden Westlake, and Trung Son Residence. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; deal sizes scale with property size and product selection, with European-spec components and 15-30 year product warranties anchoring a premium positioning that targets Vietnam's climate-specific pain points — cold-damp winter floors, poor indoor air quality, heavy-metal water contamination, and fragmented smart-home ecosystems.

The business is small (11-50 employees), privately held as a Vietnamese joint-stock company, with no disclosed institutional funding, no M&A history, and no AI/ML capabilities in-house. Its growth levers are organic: deepening the European brand portfolio (most recently the September 2025 Etherma distribution formalization), extending the KNX platform into DALI lighting and air-to-water heat pumps, and serving an expanding base of luxury residential and hospitality projects in Vietnam.
