Link Japan Inc. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo, CEO: Shinichi Kawachiyasu) will introduce its home IoT platform "eLife" to all units in the new condominium "Leben Hirao Heim Suite," which is newly commencing construction in Fukuoka City by Takara Leben Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, Representative Director: Shoichi Akizawa) and Sekisui Chemical Co., Ltd. Housing Company (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo, President: Masahide Yoshida).
The introduction of "eLife" will enable the use of our smart home integration app "HomeLink," allowing users to control home appliances and equipment remotely based on indoor temperature and humidity conditions. Furthermore, multi-buttons will be installed inside the rooms to execute multiple operations with a single touch, supporting the efficiency of daily life operations. Additionally, it is a feature that services and devices can be added after moving in according to each resident's lifestyle, allowing the home's functions to be updated long-term.
This property aims to realize next-generation urban residences where all home facilities are "connected" through cutting-edge technology.

※1) This is the only property among condominiums newly offered for sale within a 10-minute walk from Nishi-Nippon Railroad Hirao Station on the Nishi-Nippon Railroad Tenjin Omuta Line since 2000, with a total of over 100 units (as of February 2026 / researched by Kyushu Institute of Industrial Research).

Furthermore, details of the exterior, equipment, and surrounding buildings are partially omitted or simplified. Planting is at the planning stage, and species, placement, height, and number may change. They will not have grown to the extent shown in the CG by the time of completion.
Main Smart Home Functions to be Introduced
The "eLife" smart home service will be introduced in this property, enabling unified management and operation of compatible home appliances and equipment from a smartphone. It also supports voice control and automatic operations linked with the smartphone's GPS function, contributing to increased convenience in daily life.
For example, by operating air conditioners and lighting from outside or on the way home, it is possible to create a comfortable indoor environment upon arrival. Furthermore, the introduction of a smart remote that can control infrared remote-controlled appliances collectively, and multi-buttons that can execute multiple preset operations with a single touch, aims to reduce the operational burden in daily life scenes such as before going out or before sleeping.
In addition, residents can expand their smart home functions according to lifestyle changes, allowing for flexible addition and updates to their home's functions even after moving in.
(※) Primarily compatible with Apple's voice assistant "Siri" and "Google Assistant" installed on iPhone and Android smartphones. It can also be compatible with separately sold smart speakers, Amazon Alexa, and Google Home.
