Our Story

Driven by a deep commitment to improving lives, John Shermer founded Lightwave in 2007 with a simple yet powerful mission: to bring the life-changing benefits of smart technology into every home. After years of developing custom solutions for individuals recovering from severe injuries, John recognised that everyone deserves the comfort, control, and peace of mind that technology can offer. From these roots, Lightwave has grown into a leader in smart home innovation, empowering people to transform their homes into spaces of safety, efficiency, and warmth.

Today, more than 50,000 homes rely on Lightwave products daily, managing over 1 million devices—a significant leap from the early days of simplifying control without the need for wires. By leveraging major advancements in technology, Lightwave continues to empower homeowners to take control of their environments like never before. With many more exciting innovations on the horizon, the future is full of potential.
