The Sentinel: Intelligent Home Protection Built for South Africa

At Global Apex, the Sentinel is designed specifically for homeowners who want comprehensive control over energy consumption whilst protecting their homes from weather threats, power disruptions, and costly damage. From lightning strikes to load shedding, burst geysers to energy waste—The Sentinel adapts to South African realities.

  • Weather-Based Threat Response

    The Sentinel monitors real-time weather data, detecting lightning activity within your area. When strikes are detected, you receive instant alerts to disconnect vulnerable appliances—protecting equipment from catastrophic surge damage. South Africa's intense electrical storms can destroy thousands of rand worth of appliances. The Sentinel provides the warning you need.

  • Smart Scheduling Around Power Cuts

    Load shedding remains an unavoidable reality. The Sentinel integrates with live schedules, automatically managing your geyser's heating cycles around power interruptions. No more cold showers because your geyser was off during load shedding. No more wasted energy heating water minutes before the power cuts.

    The system learns your area's schedule and optimises heating windows, ensuring hot water availability when your family needs it most—saving both energy and frustration.

  • Manage Your Home from Anywhere

    Control your geyser anytime, anywhere with the intuitive Sentinel interface. Whether you're at work or on holiday, you can switch your geyser on or off, adjust schedules, and monitor system status. This remote access puts you in full control of your hot water usage and energy costs.

    Real convenience means real control, no matter where you are.

  • Smart Appliance Ecosystem - Home Protection Network

    The Sentinel's proprietary smart plug system protects not just your geyser, but your entire appliance ecosystem—household appliances like fridges to home entertainment—all orchestrated through one intelligent hub. True home protection extends beyond a single device. The Sentinel creates a comprehensive protection network across your most valuable equipment.

  • Instant Notifications When It Matters

    Stay informed with instant SMS and email alerts for critical events: lightning detected, leaks suspected, power status changes, system updates. Your home's status, always at your fingertips, whether you're at home, at work, or travelling abroad. Knowledge is protection. The Sentinel keeps you informed in real-time.

  • Significant Energy Savings

    Your geyser accounts for 30-40% of household electricity consumption. The Sentinel transforms this energy drain into intelligent, scheduled heating that slashes monthly bills. Set custom schedules matching your family's lifestyle—morning showers, evening baths, weekend routines—and watch electricity costs plummet by up to 40%.

  • Insurance-Friendly Technology

    Many insurers recogniSe the value of leak detection and automatic shutoff features in reducing claim risks. Installing the Sentinel can help you meet insurance requirements and potentially lower your premiums by mitigating damage from burst geysers.
