Is it worth installing a Nexwell system in a new home? Reviews and experiences

Is it worth installing a Nexwell smart alarm and home-automation system in a newly built house?

Yes, but only if the installation is carefully designed and completed by an installer who knows the system well; several users say NEXO is flexible, easy to program, and backed by strong Polish technical support [#6272650][#7595122][#9620274] One owner described a very extensive home setup with shutters, lighting, irrigation, alarm, flood detection, cameras, heating, pool control, and touch panels, and said he could wholeheartedly recommend it [#6320995] Another installer said the system works brilliantly in practice and can be reprogrammed from the LCD panel without a PC, while others highlighted that it can control almost anything with control contacts and offers good value for money [#6609753][#6613612][#6543080][#9620274] However, a real-world case also showed that early prototype-heavy installations and unfinished software can cause instability, freezes, and conflicts until the logic and firmware are standardized and corrected [#9646694][#14884952] After that cleanup, the same owner reported that the system had been running flawlessly for over a year and recommended it again [#14884952]

    The relay module is housed in a deep flush-mounted box beneath the socket, which means that to access the module, you need to remove the socket.

    The lights and blinds connected to the IB system continue to function normally even if the motherboard is faulty.

    Provided, of course, that someone has gone to the trouble of installing the modules under a standard switch. It seems to me that controlling the lighting is out of the question if the module with the relay is in the distribution board and the switch is low-voltage.


    No, mate, whether it’s a module under a push-button (a small unit in a junction box) or a module in the distribution board (centrally located), each of these devices is an ‘independent small system’ programmed for specific functions; the lack of communication with the main board does not alter its functions; the potential-free inputs continue to control the actuator relays.

    Hello,
    I have just received a letter from the law firm representing Nexwell, in which they maintain that the system has been restricted to an amount below the value of the invoices they issued to me and which I paid on time (admittedly, they did temporarily refund me the money after two years because the system wasn’t working and they couldn’t sort it out).

    Given that the contract does not contain a confidentiality clause (nor do the letters I sent to Nexwell and received in reply), I will scan the full set of these documents and post them on the forum so that you can form your own opinion on Nexwell’s approach to its customers.
    I’ll also post a few emails from Nexwell dating back three years in which they gave me instructions on cabling, for example for the panels and heating, and are now backtracking on this, wanting to scale the system down to a minimum – for example, they issued an invoice for 5 LCD panels, but now they’re claiming that since there were only 2 listed in the contract annexe, I have to return the 3 and they’ll issue a credit note for them. This must be some sort of joke, surely:-) )

    I’m warning you.

    The matter is going to court.

    I’ll keep you updated.

    Best regards,
    Krzysztof Łukaszewski

    Posting private correspondence between the parties to a contract on a publicly accessible forum is contrary to the law. Business correspondence constitutes a trade secret and must not be disclosed to persons to whom it was not addressed. You should be aware that personal correspondence is protected under Article 23 of the Civil Code as a personal right. Furthermore, if the published texts in any way infringe upon another person’s personal rights (such as their reputation), you may face a second lawsuit. If your posts are also defamatory in nature, a separate report may be filed with the police under Article 212 of the Criminal Code.
    So please think very carefully before you post anything here. I will defend this manufacturer, as I am one of their installers and have already fitted many of their systems, with which people are very satisfied. I have also spoken to the company’s management and I know that the matter you are presenting is not quite as you describe it. But I leave that to the court to decide (because that is where the case will end up).
    Only then should you write to say whether you have won, rather than spouting nonsense.

    Opinions on this matter vary. I recommend reading here .

    In my personal opinion, protecting business confidentiality requires a conscious commitment (in an employment contract, agreement, etc.). Threatening footnotes in company emails have – in my view – no legal basis (I am not a lawyer).

    One should not slander anyone, but whether something constitutes slander is ultimately decided by the court.

    Personally, I would not publish anything until the verdict is handed down.

    You say that I’m spouting nonsense.

    If you want to form your own opinion about the installation in my home, you’re more than welcome to come round. You’ll see how the modules and the motherboard case are connected :-) and how the ‘system’ ‘works’.

    I don’t know what Michał Kowalczyk told you, but to this day, despite three years having passed, there’s still no end in sight to the installation work on the cabling that was laid in accordance with Nexwell’s guidelines and encased in concrete over three years ago beneath the underfloor heating.
    The house was handed over two years ago, after the floors had been laid, the wallpaper hung and the textured plaster applied, and yet these very cables are still not being used to their full potential because some of them have not yet been connected.

    Two years ago, photos of my house, which was already largely finished, were published on the Nexwell website.

    The contract between the parties stipulates that all costs will be paid by the client upon completion of the work and the signing of the handover certificate. At Michał’s request – and understanding that the company is young and needs cash for investment – I paid them the lion’s share of the fee whilst the work was still in progress, as they were in the red. They held onto that money for over two years!!!

    After more than two years of endless problems, I agreed with Michał Kowalczyk that if, within two months,they didn’t complete the installation (which involved stabilising the system, improving connectivity, and connecting the LAN and GSM cards), they would refund the money I’d paid until the work was finished and the handover report signed.

    They didn’t manage it; on the contrary – whilst carrying out the work, they caused a short circuit and blew the lighting in half of my house. They refunded the money by bank transfer, we agreed on a date for their next visit, and since then they’ve stopped answering the phone.

    Most of the equipment I have at home consists of a jumble of soldered wires wrapped in insulating tape, because they kept coming up with new ideas as they went along and would bring components to me to check whether they’d work and if everything would be alright.

    As of today, one of the five screens isn’t working; I can’t control the blind in the bedroom (luckily I have two windows:-) , a few sockets, my fridge is plugged into an extension lead bypassing the Nexwell, and there are many other problems. I’ve sent a request for the installation to be completed and am waiting.

    After the summer holidays (in September it will be three years since the contract was signed and the installation work began), the matter will go to court.

    For now, I’m taking a break.

    Hello.
    I’m starting to install the NEXO system from Nexwel.
    So far, the building work is progressing rather slowly, but I’ve already managed to install and configure some of the components.
    At the moment, the system is functioning as an alarm. I’ve connected the system control panel, the TUKAN card and the GSM card, the touchscreen, and a few lighting and roller shutter modules.
    So far, everything is working and looks fine.
    I have a few minor comments and concerns.
    Can the temperature sensor be fitted in the same junction box as an electrical socket?
    Ultimately, I’ll need this to control the heating, but I’m worried about false readings if a load is connected to the socket circuit. I did consider surface-mounted thermometers, but let’s just say I didn’t like the design.
    At the moment, I’ve run into a technical problem. I want to use the system to control the de-icing mat on my driveway.
    How can this be achieved?
    What sensor should I use so that everything can be controlled via NEXO?

    Dear Nexwell,
    Could you please explain why the installation has not been completed over the past three years? Did I ever fail to grant you access to the building during that period?

    If you are a reputable company, what is preventing you from completing the installation?

    Why, in the letter from your solicitor, do you propose completing the installation only if the system is scaled back to the bare minimum? What is the insurmountable barrier for you?

    Integrated alarm system – you state that it works and offer it on your website.
    lighting – you offer this,
    automatic watering systems – you offer this,
    pump control – you offer this,
    socket control – you offer this,
    roller shutter control – you offer this
    CCTV – you offer this,
    flood sensor support – you offer this,
    web-based system control – you offer this,
    GSM-based system control – you offer this,
    IRDA support – you offer this,
    heating control – you offer this,
    support for reed switches and infrared barriers – you offer this
    video doorphone support – you offer this,
    entrance gate control – you offer this.

    So what is the problem – the size of the system?
    After all, all the cabling was laid over three years ago.
    Not a single cable was laid without your guidance, as documented in emails from years ago.

    When I ordered the system from you, I was told that the Nexo smart system is a proprietary system and, most importantly, an open system.

    Perhaps you could explain to the readers of this forum what it is you’re unable to sort out that’s preventing you from completing the installation and issuing an invoice for it?

    Kind regards,
    Krzysztof Łukaszewski

    Hello,

    I see this topic has flared up again. Krzysztof, from what I’ve gathered from your posts, it seems that much of the blame lies with you. You bought a VW and expect it to be like a Ferrari.
    Nexwell has a good system. All things considered, in terms of value for money, it’s one of the leaders on the Polish market.

    I’ve made a few investments in Nexwell so far, and my customers are satisfied.
    The largest one consists of:
    - 2 CCFL touchscreens
    - 2 zone keypads
    - 8 programmable buttons
    - 21 thermometers (for controlling the boiler and solenoid valves)
    - 20 lighting modules (the old type, i.e. each with 2 outputs)
    - 11 dimmers
    - 6 relay modules (also old-style)
    - 1 analogue output, 1 RGB output, LAN, GSM,
    - 3 input cards, 3 OC-type cards, video intercom
    - 2 local control units

    Most of the system components are housed in distribution boards, 3 Tukan buses, several dozen reed switches in windows
    and doors, a dozen or so PIR sensors, carbon monoxide detectors, etc.,
    everything works flawlessly, nothing freezes, the system’s response time when a
    programmable button is pressed is practically imperceptible, and the footage from the recorder and video doorphone can be viewed on the panels

    it works exactly as it should, although the installations need to be thought through and designed so that they
    right from the start. A total of over 3 km of cables were laid in the plasterwork for the above-mentioned installations, plus 1 km buried underground; the
    low-voltage circuits are kept separate from the 230V supply,


    to sum up
    I can see that my colleague Krzysztof has unrealistic expectations of the NEXO’s already considerable capabilities; I refer you to the NEXO motherboard’s technical documentation
    ; if in doubt, please feel free to visit the projects I have completed

    Best regards

    Dear Widur,
    The installation was carefully thought out and designed from the very beginning; as I mentioned earlier, the entire infrastructure was laid over three years ago.
    It’s true that Nexwell didn’t have everything they offered me at the time, but unfortunately I wasn’t aware of that.

    As for the cabling, the control cables are not only kept away from the power cables but are also shielded with a special metallised foil (or something like that).

    Please don’t refer me to some ‘Nexo motherboard technical documentation’ because I’m not an installer, so I wouldn’t understand much of it.
    I’m a customer who signed a contract with Nexwell over three years ago, laid the cabling in accordance with the instructions of their manager (he checked it on site before the screed was poured) and, unfortunately, to this day I am unable to make full use of what was supposed to be connected.

    Is it my fault? Or have I bought a VW but am expecting a Ferrari? :-) )

    Everything I planned to have connected was handed over right at the start (in the meantime, a few sockets were added – which, incidentally, Michał Kowalczyk himself persuaded me to install) and bear in mind that I didn’t buy all those components at a flea market and set about installing this ‘system’ myself; I simply signed a contract with a company that undertook to do something in return for a specified fee and failed to honour the contract.

    If you can spot any fault on my part here, please specify exactly where.

    Do you think I forced them to issue invoices for all the components installed at my place, or did they do it themselves in an attempt to make as much money as possible????????? And they miscalculated a bit :-) ) – do you think I’m to blame for that?

    Best regards,
    Krzysztof Łukaszewski

    Added after 7 [minutes]:

    I may not have mentioned this at the start, but I didn’t connect any of the equipment installed in my home myself – everything was carried out by Nexwell staff.

    My role was limited to laying the cables in accordance with the instructions received from Nexwell, and as for the length of the cables, there was over 6 km of electronic cabling alone, including FTP cables for the screens and thermostats.

    Krzysztof Łukaszewski

    Hello,

    6 km is quite a lot – what’s the floor area of the house? If the cabling has been laid properly and there’s full documentation to go with it, I think it’ll be possible to get this house up and running. I don’t know the details of the project, but based on your previous posts, I’m convinced that you’ll have to do without some of the ‘bells and whistles’ in favour of the system running smoothly. If that works out, you can then think about expanding it.

    If you have any questions, I’ll do my best to help you out.

    Dear Sir or Madam,

    The cabling infrastructure at Mr Łukaszewski’s premises has been installed correctly. This is not the reason why the system is not working. Nor is the system’s size the reason for its failure. The system’s failure is due to the installation not having been completed.

    We have signed a contract with Mr Łukaszewski for the installation of the system and we intend to honour it. We have written to him on this matter on numerous occasions over the last six months. In our most recent letter, sent a few months ago, we asked him to set a deadline by which we could fulfil the contract. We received no reply, only another post on a public forum and a threat of legal action. This is one of the reasons why the project has not been completed.

    Further discussion on this matter is pointless, and conducting a conversation with the investor on a public forum serves no purpose other than to attempt to tarnish our brand.

    Is it worth installing a Nexwell system in a new home? Reviews and experiences


    As for fitting temperature sensors into a socket box, we had no objections to this idea from a practical measurement point of view. The sensor itself is on a very thin wire and is deliberately separated from the module’s electronic components. This is done so that the sensor can be slipped under the frame of the white fitting. If the fitting is very airtight, it is possible to make it less airtight by drilling small holes in it. The temperature inside a socket fitted in this way is the same as the room temperature, and it is reasonably resistant to draughts and air movement. The configuration also includes a pre-programmed option to adjust the measurement in case anyone wishes to mount the sensor very high up.

    As for controlling the heating mat, there’s an interesting description here:
    http://www.forum-brukarskie.pl/topics29/193.htm

    As you can read, it involves measuring both humidity and temperature.

    Unfortunately, professional sensors of this type are expensive. (They include their own heating element.)

    Here is a dual passive sensor (using the Nexo analogue input function – resistance measurement). (humidity + temperature)
    http://elektra.org.pl/index.php?k81,czujniki,1
    http://www.ekonergia.com.pl/Sterowniki%20Przeciwoblodzeniowe/Inst_ETOG.pdf

    Not to be confused with this device. From what I’ve read, it communicates via a protocol. http://www.ogrzewanie-elektryczne.pl/czujnik-gruntowy-do-devireg-850-p-78.html The Nexo will not support this type of sensor.

    A warm welcome,

    I’d like to join in the discussion you’ve been having.
    The company I represent has carried out several fully completed installations of the Nexo system, as well as many other systems: Inels, Dupline, and numerous projects in the field of industrial automation.
    A major advantage for Nexwell is… the fact that, so far, there have been no problems.
    We have commissioned exactly four – and I emphasise ‘highly’ – complex systems, and we have not encountered any problems with any of these projects, apart from three temperature sensors, which were repaired within a day of being delivered to our premises.

    I don’t want to go into details, but in any case, 100% of our installations carried out on the Nexo system are operating reliably.

    We warmly invite anyone interested to join us on our next projects – currently under construction (as it should be done by the book – surprisingly, the art of cable routing isn’t all that simple – Uncle Heniek, the electrician, might not be able to handle it) or those already in operation (in this case, please ring 661 465 095 to discuss the details of a visit and a presentation).

    We carry out Nexo system installations comprehensively from start to finish (design, cabling) right through to completion (commissioning, as-built drawings, final handover), and this is probably why we haven’t encountered any problems.
    On this basis, I can say that the system works and is well worth recommending.
    Please take a look at our projects.

    Mr Irek,
    since you are writing so ‘candidly’, please could you specify the completion date for the installation – when you can come round and finish the fit-out.
    If you believe that the letter you sent me does not refer to scaling the system down to the bare minimum, but rather to the completion of the installation, and you also state that I have not replied to your correspondence, then I would ask for your consent to publish our correspondence on this forum.

    Kind regards,

    OK, the installation is never-ending.

    What about other complaints such as:
    - modules overheating
    - modules freezing
    - others?

    If the system didn’t work, within four years you’d have at least a few, if not several dozen, similar customers complaining about the system from Nexwell

    Mate, do you spot a certain inconsistency here?

    I’ll answer that myself: you don’t. Once again, you’re presenting conflicting views in consecutive sentences. There’s probably no point in continuing this discussion.

    Whilst I’m at it, I’ll find out whether they had the relevant certificates and approvals when they sold me those electronic components – last December I had to replace all my brake pads because they were so hot I couldn’t even touch them, and there was a risk of fire.

    What I wrote about the modules was true; they were all replaced because they weren’t working (they couldn’t be controlled) and were so hot you couldn’t even touch them.

    As far as I can remember, there was some sort of ‘Atmega’ or something similar written on it.

    Added after 16 [minutes]:

    They were just the socket covers – the lights were working fine.

    Added after 7 [minutes]:

    By the way – just to be clear, I’ll say that all the problems I’ve had and am still having at home are and were caused by the motherboard’s firmware (system freezes, strange resets, communication issues, etc.).

    It’s not certain that, as things stand, it would be enough to install new, updated software, replace the ‘chips’ that have been soldered and taped with insulating tape (just to keep them from falling apart), replace the LAN and CCTV cards, and the whole thing would start up and run stably.

    And so, what it’s like now compared to what it was a year ago is like night and day :-)

    Hello, I haven’t been here for a while, but once you’ve said ‘A’, you’ve got to say ‘B’ too, hehe

    About two years ago, I met with Michał Kowalczyk from Nexwell to try and reach an agreement (that would satisfy both of us), and we both agreed that something must be wrong, given that, even though the system is stable and operates across hundreds of projects, I’m still experiencing problems all the time.

    Each of us decided to do our utmost to get the system back on track.
    As I’ve mentioned before, my house was one of the first to have Nexo installed, and as is often the case in such situations (necessity is the mother of invention), some of the components installed were still prototypes, both in terms of hardware and software.

    We agreed that, since the cabling was fine, we needed to standardise the software, and that is exactly what we did – I dismantled the components and sent them to Nexwell; they uploaded the new software and returned them for reinstallation.
    In addition, I went through all the logic that had been uploaded and found a few instances that were causing mutual conflicts and loops – these were removed.

    It took a while, but…… we managed it :-)

    As of today (over a year on), the situation is that although the system hasn’t been stripped back – in fact, it’s been further enhanced with additional components (programmable buttons, RGB LED lighting controllers, etc.) – everything works flawlessly :-)

    The Nexo system is stable; it hasn’t crashed once. A whole host of logic has been added, and yet it’s still better than veeeery good :-) The system basically controls everything on its own, but if I want to step in and take control myself, as well as the LCD panels, I also have software available on my tablet, mobile and laptop :-)

    I can recommend it to anyone with a clear conscience,

    and, looking back, I don’t even regret how things turned out because I learnt a lot from the experience – although I’m not an electronics engineer, I’m now able to install a system like this, or even a more complex one, all by myself without anyone’s help :-)

    The moral of this story is that it’s definitely better to talk things through than to argue :-)
