Karthik S Unnithan

I am a dedicated and experienced Home Automation Specialist with over 7 years in the smart home and building automation industry. I started my journey in 2017 as a freelance professional in India and went on to establish myself through Fortue Technologies in 2019, delivering end-to-end automation solutions across residential and commercial projects.

Since 2023, I have been based in the UAE, actively exploring the Gulf market and aligning my expertise with the region’s smart living standards. My technical proficiency spans a wide range of platforms including Home Assistant, Fibaro, Homey, Akubela, LifeSmart, Loxone, Hogar Controls, and Tuya, with experience across both wired (KNX, RS485) and wireless (Zigbee, Z-Wave, Wi-Fi) systems.

My areas of specialization include:

Smart lighting, climate (HVAC) control, and scene automation

Touch switches, smart panels, and voice assistant integration

Automated shutters, blinds, gate motors, and door locks

Multi-room AV systems, surveillance (CCTV), and smart sensors

Smart irrigation and energy-efficient control systems

Having worked closely with clients, consultants, and contractors, I bring a practical, solution-oriented mindset focused on quality, user experience, and scalability. I’m passionate about building smarter, safer, and more sustainable environments — and now aim to contribute my knowledge and dedication to a forward-thinking team in the UAE.
