What Heimgard Technologies does

Heimgard Technologies is a Norwegian smart home technology company headquartered in Oslo, founded in 2003, with 51-100 employees. The company designs, distributes, and supports an integrated consumer smart home platform built around the proprietary Heimgard Hub (including Hub 4G and Hub Pro variants) running HeimgardOS firmware, with Zigbee, MQTT, and ONVIF protocol support and a proprietary Smart Mesh networking layer. Its product portfolio spans home security (Boligalarm packages, smoke/CO/gas detectors, door and window sensors, motion sensors, sirens), access control (smart electronic door locks, keypads), video monitoring (indoor 360° and outdoor cameras), and energy management (HAN adapter, smart plugs, LED dimmers, in-wall switches, smart light bulbs), all managed through a single Heimgard Smart App with local data storage on the hub for privacy.

Heimgard makes money through a combination of one-time hardware sales (starter packages from 299 NOK to 5,999 NOK, individual devices, and expansion packs) and recurring monthly subscriptions for professionally monitored alarm services at 299 NOK/month, delivered through a partnership with Avarn Security's 24/7 staffed alarm station under a 12-month minimum contract. Distribution is omnichannel within Norway: direct e-commerce via heimgard.com, electrical trade retailers (Optimera Montér, Sonepar), housing-association partners (OBOS mobile key integration, Unloc platform for borettslag og sameier), and a physical Experience Center showroom. The system integrates with Google Home, Philips Hue, ONVIF cameras, MQTT devices, and Vipps payments.

In March 2025, the company divested its European residential Wi-Fi business — including products, assets, sales channels, and a Norway-based development organization — to Genexis, refocusing the remaining entity on its Norwegian consumer smart home, security, and energy management operations. Primary customer segments are Norwegian homeowners, apartment residents, and cabin (hytte) owners, with a secondary push into housing cooperatives and condominium associations.
