BTicino: all the Eliot novelties at CES 2018

Next January 9, BTicino will be presenting its new Smarther thermostat which “talks” to Amazon Alexa and Google Home, its Classe 300x video internal unit which connects with the Yale Entr door lock and the Samsung Techwin camera, plus, its new partnership with Samsung for the development of hotel guest room management solutions.

The Las Vegas show will also be the occasion for the official launch of the Eliot programme’s “Works with Legrand” interoperability platform

After last year’s success, BTicino – the Legrand Group’s leader company in Italy and a specialist in electrical and digital building infrastructures – will be back at the Las Vegas CES show, the leading international event for consumer electronics and the Internet of Things industry, taking place from 9 to 12 January 2018.

At the Legrand Group’s stand, visitors will get interesting advance information on the interoperability of the Classe 300X video internal unit and the Smarther thermostat (both part of the Eliot by Bticino connected devices programme) with products and services by other global manufacturers (Yale, Samsung, Apple and Google), as well as a sneak peek into the partnership with Samsung for the development of advanced hotel guest room management solutions.

“We are very proud to be exhibiting at the Las Vegas CES 2018 show with our new solutions for the Connected Home and Building market” says BTicino’s CEO Franco Villani, “a sector in which we have invested and we will continue to invest a lot in the future and which we consider of strategic importance for us to be able to expand our high-technology product offering. The CES is the perfect showcase to give international visibility to our Eliot programme products, which – partly thanks to our new interoperability solutions - are now able to offer new features as well as a high added value experience”.

From connected to interconnected devices

Smarther now “talks” to Amazon Alexa and Google Home

Wi-Fi-connected thermostat Smarther adds a new feature: voice control. The device will now offer interoperability with both Amazon Alexa and Google Home, enabling users to adjust room temperature and humidity levels by simply speaking directly to the device.

The evolution of the Classe 300x: integration with the Yale Entr smart door lock and the Samsung Techwin SmartCam camera.

Classe 300x is the connected video internal unit designed to allow users to check who is at the door, directly and regardless of where they are, as well as to open the gate or the front door remotely, via the DOOR ENTRY app.

At CES 2018, a new product feature will be presented enabling integration with the Yale ENTR smart door lock (ASSA ABLOY Group) and the Samsung Techwin Full HD SMARTCAM camera (HANWHA Group), in addition to the external pushbutton panel camera.

Partnership with Samsung

Another exciting novelty which will be presented at the 2018 Las Vegas event is the partnership between the Legrand Group (of which BTicino is the leader company in Italy) and Samsung for the development of new GRMS (Guest Room Management System) solutions. The goal?
To enhance customer experience in hotel guest rooms.
Guests will now be able to manage their room’s main functions – lights, rolling shutters and temperature – from the BTicino wall-mounted controls or the TV remote control. The new interfaces rely on Samsung’s LYNK Hospitality Management Solution (HMS) and the Legrand Group’s expertise in electrical and digital building infrastructure.

Works with Legrand: API Platform
Last, the Las Vegas CES 2018 show will also be the occasion for the new Works with Legrand platform to make its world debut: an important novelty, offering a complete API suite, designed to enable the leading global IoT players, service providers, software and start-up developers to create solutions that offer interoperability with the Eliot products for the connected home and building.
