For property developers
Home automation buyers already look for — and developers don't offer yet
Stronger sales appeal, remote control for investors and fewer after-sales issues. For villas and townhouses in Spain.
Premium villa / townhouse · full automation + pool
+1.3%
Higher sale price for every energy grade
Each energy-certificate grade gained adds about 1.3% to a home's market value — and automation helps the project move up a grade.

Lower running costs you can sell on
Zoned climate control and automatic shading cut heating and cooling bills — a concrete argument for buyers and investors.
Today in Spain, home automation is still undervalued by many developers.
Buyers — especially international buyers and investors — already know it and look for it. Whoever includes it first gets a clear competitive edge. Solutions proven in Germany and Switzerland.
What the developer gains
It is not a technical extra. It is a sales and positioning argument.
Clear differentiation from the competition
Your development stands out while the market standard still does not include automation.
A strong argument for foreign buyers and investors
Comfort, remote control and low running costs — what they are already looking for.
Better margin and price positioning
A product perceived as more premium, with lower operating costs.
Fewer after-sales claims
Leaks caught in time, controlled climate, fewer calls to the service desk.
Rental-ready with portfolio control
One dashboard for several properties: climate, access, alerts and pool.
The advantage of being among the first
Whoever adds the solution now takes the gap before it becomes standard.

Remote control for investors
One app for the whole portfolio: the status of every property, alarms you define and an early warning before equipment fails.
Every property on one screen
A portfolio view with the status of each home — climate, access, energy and pool. Group by development and give owners, managers and maintenance their own access.
Alarms you define
Set thresholds, schedules and recipients: “pool pH above 7.6 → maintenance”, “door opened while away → owner”. By push, SMS or email.
Failure prediction
Equipment data is tracked over time, so pumps, heat pumps and valves that start to degrade are flagged early and serviced before they break.
Empty homes and tenant changeover
Away mode protects homes between stays; temporary access codes are issued and revoked remotely.
Proven experience
Projects in Germany and Switzerland — Europe's most demanding standards for reliability and residential automation. Adapted to the CTE, climate zones and villa and townhouse types in Spain.
