Home Safer, Peaceful Mudik with SYNC
Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia - Eid al-Fitr is one of the most eagerly awaited moments of the year. This victory moment after a month of fasting becomes even more meaningful when celebrated with family and close relatives. In Indonesia, this is often realized through the mudik tradition.
Leaving home to return to one’s birthplace, or to stay with one’s parents for several days, must be prepared as well as possible. It is not only about bringing blessings to the hometown, but home security while away is also a key consideration.
As ‘Your Home Life Improvement Partner’, AZKO offers smart living solutions through SYNC that support home security and comfort, especially during Ramadan and the preparations for the mudik moment.
During the Iftar Media Event with AZKO, the management of PT Aspirasi Hidup Indonesia Tbk (ACES) collaborated with top Indonesian actors Ringgo Agus Rahman and Sabai Dieter to share about the importance of peace of mind when leaving the home, the ease of remote device control, and how smart home technology can help Indonesian families navigate the holy month of Ramadan more practically.
Ringgo recounted how daily activities at home, together with his family, have become easier with the presence of SYNC products. According to the actor who played Abah in the film Keluarga Cemara, one of his favourite products is the CCTV. Notably, there are seven CCTV cameras at his home.
“CCTV, to guard the security. So I can be at ease when leaving the house,” he quipped in Jakarta, on Wednesday (4/4/2026).
Moreover, Ringgo also has experience that his neighbour’s house was burgled, so in his view CCTV installation at home has become commonplace. Moreover, CCTV prices have become very affordable.
“After learning CCTV prices, it seems every home should definitely have CCTV for security,” he asserted.
The presence of CCTV around the home and inside the house can certainly remove prolonged anxiety when leaving home for days for mudik. Moreover, CCTV monitoring can be viewed via the SYNC app, thus increasing the sense of security and calm when visiting family in the hometown.
“The mudik drama has already started. Where is the car serviced, how should mudik be prepared, what about leaving the house. All sorts of things,” added Ringgo.
Similarly, Ringgo’s wife, Sabai Dieter, also agrees that daily activities have become easier thanks to SYNC products, especially with the presence of SYNC CCTV.
“For me, CCTV. It’s really useful. It keeps the home safe. So we can monitor the children when we’re away from home,” she said.
“Also, I found it very helpful that my robot vacuum is integrated with the SYNC app. When we’re out for a stroll, I can control it to clean the floors. So when we return, there’s no fatigue cleaning the house,” she added.
This is made possible thanks to the commitment of PT Aspirasi Hidup Indonesia Tbk (ACES) to transform as Your Home Life Improvement Partner by strengthening the smart home ecosystem through SYNC.
The SYNC app features are now more modern and inspiring as part of AZKO’s commitment to delivering integrated, practical home solutions that are relevant to the needs of modern families.
“We see that society increasingly prioritises ease, relevance, and integration in managing daily activities. Customers are no longer merely seeking products, but solutions that make home management more efficient while delivering a sense of calm and security,” said Teresa Wibowo, Director of PT Aspirasi Hidup Indonesia Tbk (ACES).
She added that through a range of products and updates to the app’s features, SYNC is designed to meet the needs of modern families that demand speed, ease, and balance, enabling them to make the most of every moment.
As part of strengthening the SYNC smart home ecosystem, the SYNC app now features a more user-friendly interface and an increasingly inspiring user experience. One of the updates introduced is the Lighting Scene feature, which allows users to adjust lighting ambience to suit activities at home.
That comfort is further strengthened by the location-based Geofencing feature. With a defined radius, devices in the home can switch on or off automatically following the owner’s movements. The house can ‘prepare’ before the family arrives or leaves, for example by turning on lights or air conditioning so the ambience is comfortable from the moment you step inside.
The feature not only delivers energy efficiency but also ease and peace of mind, because customers no longer need to configure devices manually one by one. All of it is integrated and operates automatically according to users’ habits and mobility.
Not only as a control hub for devices, the SYNC app now also offers a Discovery feature that enriches the user experience with inspiring articles, ideas for home styling, educational videos, and information on various attractive offers. This feature is integrated directly with the ruparupa omni-channel service, so customers can easily turn inspiration into action, from purchasing products to obtaining installation support if required.
In line with the needs of the community preparing to leave the house for mudik, SYNC also offers a range of devices that are interconnected within a single app to ensure connectivity and security remain intact, such as:
Smart CCTV (Indoor & Outdoor) with 24-hour real-time monitoring and movement notifications.
Smart Door Lock for secure and flexible door access when the home is left unattended.
Smart Lighting & Smart Plug for settings.
