Domii simplifies connected housing

Domii's goal is to provide a simple and accessible solution for managing the connected home both today and in the tomorrow. Domii was designed to minimize the daily inconveniences related to the home, for example leaving home while forgetting to turn off the light.

Domii’s solution consists of a box with a screen and a messaging system that manages lighting, shutters, security, heating, and energy consumption, all thanks to an easy-to-use application.

Over time, when they need to, users can progressively add on peripheral modules for different functions. For example, infrared presence detectors and door contacts can be added to the house or apartment for security purposes. As can modules to control lighting or rolling wheels fit behind switches or controls.

The Domii box can also manage heating, whether electric or fluid-based, and gives users a way to oversee how much energy the house is consuming, which we display in euros so it’s easier to understand. We record consumption per appliance or system - heating, cooling, hot water, electrical outlet and other uses - which allows to determine exactly how the energy consumed is distributed, in line with RT2012 standards.

The box is able to detect anomalies, such as a freezer that was left open and consumes much more than usual. And it will also send an alert if a device no longer consumes any energy.

These different elements are controlled either locally via the screen on the Domii box or from any smartphone or tablet connected to the app.

For apartment buildings, we have integrated a messaging system so that residents stay in contact with the property manager or the trustee. They can receive messages alerting them to elevator maintenance or when the water is cut off. They can also contact the owner or manager to report a malfunction.

This feature is particularly useful for public housing managers, and we will soon be equipping a 166-unit student residence and another with 54 units.

What are you going to exhibit at Vivatech?

We will bring a Domii Box with a screen and several types of appliances to show visitors how to use the application to operate it.

What do you expect to get from participating in Vivatech?

Our startup was founded through the Solvéo Développement Group, so our first projects were in the B2B market, ENGIE’s traditional market.

One of the reasons we wanted to participate in Viva Technology was to expand into the retail market. Vivatech is an opportunity for us to see people’s reactions, and to test the general appetite in this particular market.

Your slogan?

"Control your home with your fingertips"

Lastly, for you the future will be ...?

For us the future will of course be connected.

The future will involve interconnection and energy management. By optimizing how energy is used in the home, home automation will finally take the place it has struggled to find for the last 30 years. Because energy is likely to remain a crucial topic for many years!
