VIMAR's integrated systems for smart homes

A smart home is clever in countless ways. It brings security by opening and closing shutter blinds remotely when we are away from home, while allowing you to control heating from afar – at the very least, it eliminates the infuriating hunt-the-rogue-thermometer game that none of us signed up for. One of the smartest things it does, though, is to enable us to manage our energy consumption, making it a friend to both pockets and the planet.

All this convenience and economy of waste and funds, but at what cost to your masonry? VIMAR has been at the forefront of home automation since it started to take hold 20 years ago, and assure us that when diving into domotics, our walls don’t necessarily need to be excavated. All the traditional switches (that turn lights on and off) can be connected without masonry work. You can simply replace traditional 1-way switches in the existing system with new connected devices and then power them. With the connected wiring, you can use the app or vocal control to access devices remotely and manage consumption with ease.

It means VIMAR's classic designs for switches and sockets; Plana with its simple lines and technopolymer finishes, Arké with its Classic and Round and slimline Fit profiles, and Eikon – whose material choices include wood and stone, corian, metal and glass – persist, evolve and adapt into a more connected building. They integrate aesthetically and technologically – even incorporating assimilated smart surfaces in the case of Eikon Tactil thermostats, that respond to gestures, alongside touch, app and voice control. Smartening homes, it seems, can be done by gentle integration, not invasion.
