Local know-how

Smart home installation in Mira and Mira Oasis.

Reem is the name Emaar and property listings use, but residents just say Mira or Mira Oasis. Emaar launched the community in 2013 on Al Qudra Road, across Emirates Road from Town Square. Mira 1 to 5 hold about 1,580 townhouses and Mira Oasis 1 to 3 about 1,350 more, almost all with three or four bedrooms. Young families and expats live here, owners and tenants side by side, with Mira Town Centre, parks, pools and a dog park close by. This Reem is not the Reem cluster in Arabian Ranches 2, Al Reem in Arabian Ranches or Reem Island in Abu Dhabi.

The homes were handed over between 2016 and 2020. That makes them younger than Arabian Ranches or The Springs, but they were still built without smart wiring as standard. So smart home installation in Mira is a wireless retrofit: AC controllers, smart switches, locks, cameras and mesh Wi-Fi fitted to what is already there. Each home cools with its own split units on the DEWA bill, so AC control shows up in what you pay. Gardens, driveways and the gates in Mira Oasis mean Wi-Fi and cameras have to reach outside too.

Split AC on your bill

Reem does not appear on published district cooling lists, so every Mira and Mira Oasis home runs its own split units on the DEWA meter. Infrared controllers switch off empty rooms, hold a warmer setting while the family is out and cool the bedrooms before bedtime.

Gate and fence colours

The Mira Oasis modification guidelines, as quoted online, ask for plain gates and fences in black, beige or dark brown, with designs approved by Emaar. We pick intercoms, keypads and cameras in finishes that suit the gate you have, and check with Emaar before anything changes the gate itself.

Two floors and a garden

A router by the front door rarely reaches the top-floor bedrooms, the back garden and the driveway camera through block walls. Two or three mesh nodes, one upstairs and one by the garden door, keep the lock, the cameras and the irrigation controller online.

Families who chose safety

A Mira Oasis resident told Gulf News that safety is what they love most about the community. Cameras on the gate, driveway and garden, and door sensors on the ground floor, add a layer the family controls, with alerts to both parents’ phones.

Maid’s rooms and staff codes

The larger Mira 2 units, and many in Mira Oasis 2, come with a maid’s room. A mortise smart lock gives the helper, cleaner or gardener a personal code on set hours, and you delete that one code the day they leave.

Young walls, no smart wiring

These townhouses are ten years old or less, with finished walls you would rather not chase. Most smart devices here are wireless or fit existing points. We check a few switch boxes at the survey, because a missing neutral wire decides which smart switch fits.

How it works

Four steps, one point of contact.

Indoor smart devices in Mira and Mira Oasis usually need no approval. Anything that changes the gate, fence or front of the house needs Emaar’s sign-off first, which we arrange.

  1. 01
    Free survey
    We check each split unit, look inside a few switch boxes, inspect the front door lock and the gate, and test Wi-Fi upstairs and in the garden. Then we send a fixed quote.
  2. 02
    Emaar check if needed
    If a job changes the gate, fence or outside of the house, we prepare the Emaar home modification request. Indoor-only work goes straight to booking.
  3. 03
    Installation
    A three or four bedroom townhouse is finished in three to seven days, a room at a time, so the family stays home and the school run carries on.
  4. 04
    Handover
    Both parents get the app, any helper gets a personal code, and you keep a printed guide and a named contact. The workmanship warranty runs 12 months and can vary by product.

How much does home automation cost in Reem?
Chevron down icon
Home automation in Reem costs AED 1,500 to AED 160,000. One upgrade, such as AC control or a smart lock, is AED 1,500 to AED 4,500. A three or four bedroom townhouse in Mira or Mira Oasis usually costs AED 15,000 to AED 60,000. A Mira Oasis villa, or a townhouse with wired lighting control, runs AED 40,000 to AED 160,000.

What is the cheapest useful smart upgrade for a Mira townhouse?
Chevron down icon
Smart control for the split AC is the cheapest upgrade that pays back. Infrared controllers for the rooms you use most sit in the AED 1,500 to AED 4,500 band and fit in half a day. A mortise smart lock or a video intercom are the other common first steps.
Contact us
Contact us
I rent a Mira Oasis townhouse. Is it worth spending money on smart devices?
Chevron down icon
Yes, if you pick devices you can take with you. Infrared AC controllers, plug-in cameras, a battery video doorbell and mesh Wi-Fi all unplug on moving day. The AC runs on your own DEWA account, so the tenant keeps what the schedules save.
Contact us
Contact us
Will smart AC control cut my DEWA bill in Mira or Mira Oasis?
Chevron down icon
Yes, because each home runs its own split units on the DEWA meter. There is no separate chiller bill here, so the saving shows up in what you pay. Our summer bill guide puts the saving from smart AC and lighting control at 20 to 30 percent of cooling costs.
Contact us
Contact us
Does a four bedroom unit cost more to automate than a three bedroom?
Chevron down icon
A little, because there are more rooms and split units to control. Three bedroom Mira units run about 2,100 to 2,500 sq ft, and some four bedroom Mira Oasis 3 units reach about 3,850 sq ft. Both usually stay inside the AED 15,000 to AED 60,000 townhouse band.
Contact us
Contact us
How much does a smart lock or gate intercom cost in Mira?
Chevron down icon
Either one is a single upgrade at AED 1,500 to AED 4,500, fitted in half a day. The price depends on the lock body in your front door and on whether the gate already has power. A new gate motor costs more, and a change to the gate may need Emaar’s approval.
Contact us
Contact us
Do we need KNX, or is wireless enough for a Mira townhouse?
Chevron down icon
Wireless is enough for most Mira and Mira Oasis homes. The walls are finished and less than ten years old, and chasing them for KNX cable costs far more than it saves. Our retrofit guide puts pre-wiring at 60 to 70 percent cheaper than a retrofit, so KNX makes sense only when a renovation opens the ceilings anyway.
Contact us
Contact us
Can we automate our townhouse in stages?
Chevron down icon
Yes, and most families here do. A common order is AC control and a smart lock first, then cameras, the intercom and Wi-Fi, then lighting and curtains. We plan the whole townhouse at the survey, so every stage joins the same hub and nothing gets thrown away.
Contact us
Contact us
Does a smart home add value to a Reem townhouse?
Chevron down icon
It can help, but we will not promise a figure for Reem. Our villa guide cites a 2025 brokerage survey in which Dubai villas with smart or green features sold for about 4 to 7 percent more. That survey covered villas in general, not Mira townhouses.
Contact us
Contact us
Does the DEWA housing fee drop if smart AC cuts our usage?
Chevron down icon
No. The housing fee does not move with usage. For tenants it is 5 percent of the annual Ejari rent, spread across 12 monthly DEWA bills. Smart AC control lowers the electricity part of the bill, which is where Mira’s summer cooling cost sits.
Contact us
Contact us
Is the survey in Mira and Mira Oasis free?
Chevron down icon
Yes. We check the split units, a few switch boxes, the front door lock and the gate, then test Wi-Fi upstairs and in the garden. You get a fixed quote, with no charge and no obligation to go ahead.
Contact us
Contact us
Who can install home automation in Mira and Mira Oasis?
Chevron down icon
Dubai Smart Home designs the system and runs the job across Reem, in all five Mira phases and in Mira Oasis 1 to 3. We survey for free and check whether any Emaar approval applies. We coordinate every fitting and support you afterwards.
Contact us
Contact us
Do I need Emaar’s approval to add smart home devices in Mira?
Chevron down icon
Not for indoor devices. AC controllers, smart switches, locks, sensors and indoor cameras do not change the outside of the house. Changes to the gate, fence, walls or facade go through Emaar’s home modification process first, via the resident portal or 800 EMAAR.
Contact us
Contact us
Do the Mira Oasis gate colour rules apply to a smart gate motor or intercom?
Chevron down icon
The rules cover the gate itself, not a device fitted to it. As quoted online, the Mira Oasis guidelines ask for simple gates and fences in black, beige or dark brown, opening inwards, with designs approved by Emaar. Repainting or replacing the gate needs that approval. A discreet intercom on the existing gate usually does not, and we ask Emaar when in doubt.
Contact us
Contact us
How long does Emaar approval take for gate or exterior work in Reem?
Chevron down icon
Plan on a week or two for a simple exterior change. Emaar publishes no fixed timeline for Reem, but renovation firms quote one to two weeks through the community portal for Emaar homes in The Springs. Indoor-only smart home jobs skip this step completely.
Contact us
Contact us
How long does a smart home install take in a Mira townhouse?
Chevron down icon
Half a day for a single upgrade, and three to seven days for a full three or four bedroom townhouse. A Mira Oasis villa or a wired lighting job takes two to four weeks. Rooms are finished one after another, so the family can stay at home.
Contact us
Contact us
Will the walls need chasing in a townhouse built in 2016?
Chevron down icon
Rarely. Most of the job is wireless or uses existing points: AC controllers, smart switches, locks, sensors and mesh Wi-Fi. Only wired lighting control, ceiling speakers or new power to the gate need fresh cable, and we flag those at the survey.
Contact us
Contact us
Do Mira townhouses have a neutral wire for smart switches?
Chevron down icon
Some switch boxes do and some do not, so we check each one. UAE lighting circuits are often looped at the ceiling, which leaves no neutral at the switch. Where it is missing, a no-neutral smart switch or a smart bulb does the job, with no wall work.
Contact us
Contact us
Can I fit smart devices in my Mira home myself?
Chevron down icon
You can fit plug-in devices, smart bulbs and battery sensors yourself. Anything on fixed wiring, such as smart switches, a wired thermostat or a gate motor, needs a licensed electrician under Dubai rules. Those parts are handled within the job, and devices you already bought can be connected too.
Contact us
Contact us
Is the install any different in Mira Oasis 3, the newest phase?
Chevron down icon
Only slightly. Mira Oasis 3 was completed in January 2020, so it is the youngest part of Reem, and some units reach about 3,850 sq ft. Larger units may need an extra mesh node, but the devices and the process match the other phases.
Contact us
Contact us
Can the install happen before we move into a Mira townhouse we just bought?
Chevron down icon
Yes, and an empty house is the easiest time. Between transfer and move-in, the lock, AC controllers, cameras and Wi-Fi go in with no furniture in the way. Your agent or a relative can give access, so the house is ready on the first night.
Contact us
Contact us
Can the work happen while we travel over the summer?
Chevron down icon
Yes. A helper, neighbour or your agent can let the team in, and you get photos as each room is done. When you are back, we go through the app with everyone at home. Summer is a quiet time to do it, with fewer people in the house.
Contact us
Contact us
Is Reem on district cooling or split AC?
Chevron down icon
Split AC. Reem, Mira and Mira Oasis do not appear on published Empower or Emicool area lists, so each home runs its own split units on the DEWA bill. There is no chiller invoice. If your bill ever shows a cooling charge, tell us at the survey.
Contact us
Contact us
Which smart thermostat works with the split AC in a Mira townhouse?
Chevron down icon
An infrared controller, not a Nest-style wall thermostat. Nest and Ecobee are made for ducted central air with low-voltage wiring. A split unit takes orders from its handheld remote, and an infrared controller sends the same signals from an app. Ducted units use the maker’s Wi-Fi adapter instead.
Contact us
Contact us
Can I fit a smart lock on my Mira townhouse front door?
Chevron down icon
Yes, with a mortise smart lock. Townhouse front doors in Dubai usually take a mortise lock, so a US-style deadbolt model will not fit. A mortise smart lock swaps the lock body, keeps the handle where it is, and gives each person a personal code.
Contact us
Contact us
What video intercom suits a Mira Oasis gate?
Chevron down icon
A slim unit in black or a dark finish usually suits it best. The Mira Oasis guidance, as quoted online, keeps gates plain and in black, beige or dark brown, so we choose one that matches the gate, and the cable runs neatly along the post. It rings your phone when you are out.
Contact us
Contact us
Will one router cover a two-storey Mira townhouse and the garden?
Chevron down icon
Usually not. A router near the front door struggles to reach the top-floor bedrooms and the back garden through block walls. Two or three mesh nodes, one upstairs and one near the garden door, keep cameras, locks and speakers online. The larger Mira Oasis 3 units may need a fourth.
Contact us
Contact us
How many cameras does a Mira townhouse need?
Chevron down icon
Most need three or four: the gate, the driveway, the front door and the back garden. Corner units may need one more for the side path. Each camera should point at your own plot, never at a neighbour’s garden or windows.
Contact us
Contact us
Do CCTV cameras need the internet to record?
Chevron down icon
No, if they record to a box inside the house. Footage keeps saving when the internet drops, and you only need a connection to watch from outside. Cloud-only cameras stop saving when the Wi-Fi goes, so we prefer a local recorder for gate and driveway cameras.
Contact us
Contact us
Can the irrigation in our Mira garden be automated?
Chevron down icon
Yes, usually by swapping the old timer for a Wi-Fi controller on the same valve wiring. It waters each zone by schedule and season, and you can pause it from the app. No trenching is needed unless you add new zones to the lawn.
Contact us
Contact us
Can we motorise shutters or the garage door in Mira Oasis?
Chevron down icon
Yes. At least one Mira Oasis resale listing advertises aluminium shutters and a garage door that open from a phone. If your home has a motor, a smart relay adds app control. New external shutters change the outside of the house, so Emaar’s approval comes first.
Contact us
Contact us
Can our Mira driveway get an EV charger?
Chevron down icon
Usually, yes. A home charger adds load to the house supply, so we check the distribution board first. DEWA gets involved when the connected load goes up, and we handle that step. The charger mounts on your own wall beside the driveway.
Contact us
Contact us
Can smart devices look after our dog while we are at work?
Chevron down icon
Yes. Reem is listed as pet friendly and has its own dog park, so plenty of homes here have dogs. A pet camera, a smart feeder and an AC schedule that keeps one room cool cover the working day, with an alert if that room warms up.
Contact us
Contact us
Is Reem the same as Mira and Mira Oasis?
Chevron down icon
Yes. Reem is Emaar’s name for the master community, and Mira and Mira Oasis are the two neighbourhoods inside it. Listings often say Reem, while residents say Mira or Mira Oasis. Mira has five phases and Mira Oasis three, all on Al Qudra Road.
Contact us
Contact us
Is this the Reem community inside Arabian Ranches 2?
Chevron down icon
No. Arabian Ranches 2 has its own Reem cluster of 216 townhouses, about 3 km away in a different district. This page covers the separate Reem community of Mira and Mira Oasis. We work in both, so tell us which one you mean when you book.
Contact us
Contact us
Is Reem linked to Al Reem in Arabian Ranches or Reem Island in Abu Dhabi?
Chevron down icon
No, neither. Al Reem is a townhouse cluster inside the original Arabian Ranches, and Reem Island is in Abu Dhabi, a different emirate. Our Reem is the Mira and Mira Oasis community, across Emirates Road from Town Square.
Contact us
Contact us
Is Reem part of Arabian Ranches 3?
Chevron down icon
No. Reem is a separate Emaar community, launched in 2013 with its own homes and amenities. Arabian Ranches 3 is a later Emaar project with different clusters. Buyers on expat forums have mixed the two up, but they are different places.
Contact us
Contact us
Who lives in Mira and Mira Oasis, and is it safe for families?
Chevron down icon
Mostly young families and expats, with owners and tenants side by side. Residents interviewed by Gulf News described Mira Oasis as safe and quiet, a haven for young families. Smart cameras and door sensors add a layer the family controls, on top of the community’s own security.
Contact us
Contact us
I rent in Mira Oasis. Do I need my landlord’s permission for a smart lock or video doorbell?
Chevron down icon
Not for plug-in or battery devices, such as a stick-on video doorbell. A smart lock changes the lock body, so get the landlord’s written agreement first. Anything on fixed wiring or the gate needs it too. Keep the old lock and refit it when you move out.
Contact us
Contact us
How do we give our helper access without the family code?
Chevron down icon
Give your helper a personal code for the front door and gate, active on working hours. Never share the family’s master code, because you cannot trace it or cancel it for one person. The maid’s room in larger four bedroom units can run its own AC schedule too.
Contact us
Contact us
Can I keep an eye on the house while we travel in summer?
Chevron down icon
Yes. The app shows every camera, the AC in each room and alerts from leak and door sensors. DEWA advises leaving the AC at 26 to 27°C rather than off, and its Away Mode emails you usage reports. A smart schedule holds that setting for you.
Contact us
Contact us
Do I need SIRA approval for cameras at my Reem home?
Chevron down icon
No. A private home needs no SIRA approval for its own cameras. UAE privacy law protects neighbours, so keep cameras on your gate, driveway, front door and garden, not on their gardens, windows or the shared paths. Tell a live-in helper where indoor cameras are.
Contact us
Contact us
What comes with us if we move out of Mira?
Chevron down icon
Anything wireless moves with you: AC controllers, cameras, the doorbell, sensors and speakers. Wired switches, a gate motor and the irrigation controller stay with the house. We list what is yours at handover, which helps when a tenancy ends.
Contact us
Contact us
What support do we get after the install?
Chevron down icon
Each family member gets the app on their phone, and you keep a printed guide and a named contact to call. The fitting itself comes with a 12-month warranty, and some products have their own terms. A support plan with set response times is there if you want one.
