โ†‘ Real figures from a working installation in the province of Lecce

The principle that sets us apart

If the Internet goes down, your home
stops being smart.
Ours doesn't.

โ˜๏ธCloud home automation (most systems)
The command leaves the phone, goes to a server, comes back to the device at home
If Internet is down, the home stops working
Your consumption and presence data lives on the manufacturer's servers
If the manufacturer closes the service, the installation stops
Latency: the command goes around the world before arriving
๐Ÿ Local home automation (how we do it)
The brain is physically in the home: the rules never leave the home network
Internet down? Automations keep running exactly as before
Consumption, schedules, presence: data stays at home, never sold to anyone
No subscription dependency: if a company closes, the installation keeps running
Instant response: the command takes no detour
"รˆ giร  successo davvero: durante un'interruzione della linea, le automazioni installate in casa hanno continuato a girare mentre quelle affidate al cloud del produttore erano ferme. Il produttore dei climatizzatori installati ha poi chiuso il rilascio delle chiavi di accesso ai propri dispositivi. Chi si era affidato solo alla sua app รจ rimasto fuori."
What changes for those who live there

Before the technicalities, everyday life.

๐Ÿ’ก

No more thinking about lights

They turn on when it really gets dark and off when you go to sleep, all year, without adjusting anything.

โ„๏ธ

The house is cool before you come home

Cooling starts during solar hours using free energy โ€” not the electricity you buy when you get home in the evening.

๐Ÿ’ง

Irrigation runs when it makes sense

It starts on actual solar surplus, has a time budget, and doesn't water the day after rain.

๐Ÿ“Š

You know where the bill money goes

Which appliances consume, at what time, how much โ€” not just the month-end total that tells you nothing.

๐Ÿ””

You're notified when it matters

Power out, Internet down, abnormal consumption, someone at the gate: phone notification, in real time.

๐Ÿ”“

Nothing depends on a subscription

No monthly fee to turn on a light. No service to renew to keep the installation running.

Real-time dashboard

What you see every day
on your phone and at home.

Not a generic manufacturer app. A dashboard built to measure for this home โ€” with the data that really matters, organised for how you live.

Real case โ€” province of Lecce

Not a demo. A working
installation, with real figures.

รˆ il primo impianto installato, e il banco di prova di tutto quello che proponiamo. Una casa in provincia di Lecce, con 4 kWp di fotovoltaico, costruita trent'anni fa. I numeri qui sotto sono misurati, non stimati.

La casa produce esattamente quanto consuma, ma usa solo la metร  di quello che produce. L'altra metร  la vende a un prezzo che รจ meno della metร  di quanto le costa ricomprarla. รˆ lรฌ che sta il margine โ€” ed รจ esattamente il lavoro che fanno le automazioni.

Five things the installation actually did.

Worth more than any list of features.

1

It found a consumption nobody could see.

At night the house was drawing 439 W e se ne spiegavano 110. Il sistema ha isolato i restanti 329 W e li ha attribuiti al climatizzatore della camera โ€” rimasto in standby attivo per tutta la notte. Circa 2.900 kWh l'anno: piรน della metร  del consumo totale di casa, che prima non aveva un nome.

It recognises appliances with no sensor.

The 2.5 kW pump has no dedicated meter, but it's still visible: from the power spike, the cycle duration, how the draw "dances". The system tells apart a pump from an oven from a kitchen robot without installing anything on any of the three.

3

It shielded the house from the sun, to the minute.

At 11:30 the bathroom shutter dropped from 100% to 40% in six seconds. The bedroom one was already more closed than the target โ€” and was not touched. Each shutter follows its own exposure: south closes mid-morning, west in the afternoon.

4

It documented a grid voltage drop.

During a dip, seven devices restarted and six held. The system knows which ones, at what time, and verified no gate had opened on its own. Without it, it would have been an unexplained episode.

5

It restarts the router when Internet drops and nobody is home.

First via software, then โ€” if that's not enough โ€” physically cutting power. The problem was that with the line down, you can't get in from outside: that broken door is the only entry. Now it fixes itself.

Areas of intervention

Eight areas. Not all required:
start with one and grow.

Energy and solar

Production, consumption, self-consumption and euro account updated in real time. Production forecast calibrated on your installation's real data.

Solar-guided loads

Irrigation, pumps, ACs and boilers that start on actual solar surplus โ€” not a fixed schedule. With priority manager to avoid tripping the meter.

Luci

Switching on at true sunset (which shifts 3 hours between June and December), seasonal switching off. Accompanying lights: open the gate and the path lights up.

Shutters

Solar shading by exposure (south mid-morning, west in the afternoon). With safety rule: an automation never raises a shutter someone has already closed.

Climate and heating

One brain for heating and cooling. Solar pre-cooling during surplus hours. In mid-seasons heats the heat pump with solar, in deep cold controls traditional heating.

Presence and security

The home knows who's there. Automatic presence simulation when the house has been empty for half an hour โ€” lights and shutters in staggered, credible sequence. Surveillance with local recording.

Continuity and reliability

UPS on computer, network and router. Network watchdog: if Internet drops, the system detects it and restarts the router from inside. Self-monitoring with early warning.

Dashboard tailored to how the house is used. Quick commands at top โ€” what you actually look for when you open the phone. Encrypted remote access without opening router ports.

How we work

First you measure,
then you spend.

Four phases. The rule running through all of them: no device is bought before measuring that it is needed.

01

Survey and audit

What is already there, how the network is built, what can be reused. Almost always half the useful devices are already in the home.

02

Design

Which automations this family really needs. Habits are discovered: what time people get up, who stays home, where the afternoon sun hits.

03

Installation and commissioning

The brain at home, connected devices, custom dashboards. Automations are switched on one at a time, after seeing them work.

04

Support

The installation is monitored remotely, updated and corrected. Rules are refined over months: an automation written in September needs revisiting in January.

The method, honestly stated

No device is bought before measuring that it is needed. In this project three planned purchases were postponed because the data said they were not needed.
Every automation has an off switch and a maintenance mode that stops everything.
Automations never compete for the same device: there is always a declared hierarchy of who controls what and when.
A number that does not agree with physics is discarded before writing it down, not after.
Transparency

When it's not worth it.

Saying it is more honest than promising the opposite โ€” and readers notice.

๐Ÿ’ก

If you only want an app to turn on a light, the supermarket product is enough. Our work begins when devices number more than ten and need to reason together.

โ˜€๏ธ

If there is no solar or significant consumption, the energy part โ€” which is the core โ€” yields little. Worth evaluating first.

๐Ÿ’ถ

Savings alone do not pay for everything. Su una casa con 4 kWp, spostare i consumi vale ~100โ€“175 โ‚ฌ l'anno. Si compra il controllo, l'affidabilitร  e l'indipendenza; il risparmio รจ il contorno.
