  • In today’s connected era, staying constantly switched on has become a necessity. The Arteor with Netatmo challenge was to introduce a cost-effective solution which allows the user to completely control their home through a tablet, smartphone or through voice commands, making automation easy and accessible for everyday living. Ensuring the ultimate user experience was a key focus - as a result, Arteor with Netatmo was born. This is a solution which takes the shape of traditional switches and sockets, to high-tech functionalities that seamlessly integrate into the user’s current lifestyle.

  • Through integrating contemporary aesthetics, UX design and smart technologies, Arteor with Netatmo extends beyond a simple electrical device – it represents an evolution of lifestyle. The system brings control of the home in four ways: 1. Traditional press on switches. 2. Local and remote operation: you have the ease of control within the home, via smart devices using the Home+Control app. 3. Voice assistants: the system is compatible with major voice assistants such as Google, Siri and Alexa. 4. Allows for control by pairing additional wireless switches without the need of an electrician.

  • - Accessible - Affordable - Simplifying daily life Technologies are rapidly evolving to make our lives much easier and the integration of home automation systems is becoming a considerable new trend in digital innovation. Arteor with Netatmo answers that call, by allowing the home to give back through giving complete ownership and control to the user anytime, anywhere. People now have the flexibility to simply and immediately customise their life scenes. They can trigger their lights to switch on, kettle to boil as they awake. All these features are designed to completely fit into each person’s day-to-day routine.

  • The system is incredibly scalable – users can start small with one room, before deciding to expand by adding new Arteor with Netatmo devices. This allows them to get feel for how the system works. From there, they can add up to 100 Arteor with Netatmo devices to suit their day-to-day routine and lifestyle needs. The offer encompasses wireless switches, which can be located anywhere within the home, enabling multi-way switching. An Arteor with Netatmo switch can be placed on the bedside table, where a single press of the switch will conveniently turn off all the lights in the house. Push notifications are also sent to the user’s smart device in case the lights have been left on for several hours, or if appliances are no longer receiving power supply – very useful to avoid food blunders while you’re on a weekend getaway! The energy monitoring feature allows for complete transparency for the home’s power usage. The Home+Control app delivers regular updates, allowing the user to take necessary action when required. The system relies on Zigbee Technology, a wireless mesh communication protocol, where every device acts as a repeater for the signal. This extends the overall range and mitigates blind spots.
