The digitalization of housing and the behavioral changes of residents, who appropriate new technologies and place them at the service of their quality of life, are constantly modifying ways of living and using homes and offices.

Users expect digitalization not only to facilitate their daily lives, but also to enable them to personalize the use of their homes and to create customized scenarios adapted to their habits and pace of life. 

At Somfy this new way of living is called "Smart Living".

Somfy contributes to improving living environments by innovating around the trio of well-being, safety and energy savings, and also by enabling an ever greater interaction between its applications and other home systems. Somfy goes even further than just the perimeter of the home by imagining new uses that create links between people and their homes, neighborhoods or cities. This is why the Group recently contributed to the development of Nexity's smart housing offer.

Whether it is the "Smart & Secure window" solution for automatic and programmed opening and closing of windows, the "Interior curtains and blinds" solution for creating different moods, or the solution for remotely opening your home, each one meets these requirements. 

To facilitate users’ access to simple and efficient home connectivity, Somfy also launched the "So Open with Somfy" program at the end of 2017. The program reinforces the interoperability of its platforms and enables all players, through its open APIs, to integrate the management of Somfy applications into their own solutions. 

With "So Open with Somfy", the TaHoma® and Somfy Protect platforms are now compatible with the world's major ecosystems of management and service solutions: Amazon Alexa, Google Home and Apple HomeKit. Through its partnerships, Somfy has also reinforced the compatibility of its solutions with those of major housing players such as Legrand, Schneider Electric and Nexity.

Supporting all the players in the smart home includes manufacturing and installation partners, who play an essential role in providing the assistance and service that the residents need.

To this end, Somfy has developed a remote maintenance tool called PROSERVE, allowing installers to access the status of connected equipment in the user's home via the management interface. As a result, installation professionals can make diagnoses and even reconfigure certain parameters remotely.

Somfy Group is the world leader in the automatic control of openings and closures in homes and buildings, and a key player in smart home solutions.
