When it comes to smart homes, VIKI solutions are always ready to solve any challenge. A recent project really put us to the test as our client started the electrical installation without being able to modify the classic wiring. To automate the lights, we opted for radio wave control where additional cables could not be run. Everything worked fine, until the metal furniture installed at the end created a “Faraday cage”, blocking the radio signals.
With maximum creativity, our team came up with the solution of mounting signal repeaters to ensure connectivity between equipment, thus providing a perfectly functional system without compromising the design or structure of the house.
This situation shows that, regardless of the challenges, VIKI always finds the right solution to ensure the comfort and functionality of your smart home. Every detail counts and our systems are built to adapt to any situation.

Fall is the season when we transition from hot summer days to cooler, darker evenings. It’s the ideal time to implement smart automations in your home to increase your comfort, save energy and cope with temperature changes. With the help of VIKI, the smart home system that learns your habits and adapts according to them, you can benefit from a series of functions that will transform your home into a more efficient and pleasant space.
1. Automatic light adjustment for darker days
Fall brings with it shorter days and less natural light. With VIKI, you can automate the lighting in your home so that it adjusts according to the outside light level or the time of day. For example, VIKI can automatically activate the lighting at a higher intensity early in the morning, when it is still dark, and gradually reduce it during the day. It can also turn on the light in a subtle manner every evening to create a relaxing and pleasant atmosphere.
2. Intelligent temperature control for cool days
As the temperature drops, heat management becomes essential to maintaining optimal comfort in the home. VIKI can constantly monitor the outside and inside temperature and automatically adjust the heating system. For example, VIKI can set the temperature differently depending on the time of day: warmer in the morning to help you wake up comfortably, and cooler during the day when the house is empty, thus saving energy. In the evening, the temperature can rise again to ensure a warm and welcoming environment when returning home.
3. Intelligent management of blinds and curtains
In addition to temperature and light control, VIKI can manage blinds and drapes to maximize energy efficiency. By connecting to a weather station and using the geodetic coordinates of your windows, VIKI can calculate when to draw the curtains to prevent heat loss at night, or when to raise the blinds to capture more sunlight during the day. This functionality contributes to maintaining a pleasant indoor climate and reducing energy costs.
4. Programming appliances for maximum efficiency
In the cold season, many of us spend more time at home, which leads to intensive use of household appliances. VIKI offers you the possibility to schedule their use so as to save energy and money. For example, you can set the washing machine to run at times when energy is cheaper or automatically turn on the coffee machine every morning. This not only optimizes energy consumption, but also simplifies your daily routine.
5. Automation of security and comfort scenarios
During the autumn months, when the evenings are getting longer, VIKI can help create a safe and comfortable environment. For example, it can automatically activate outdoor lights when it detects motion or when it gets dark, improving your home’s security. VIKI can also simulate presence in the home when you are away by intelligently controlling lights and other devices.
The smart automations offered by VIKI bring more comfort and efficiency to your home in autumn. Whether it’s automatically adjusting the light, managing the temperature, controlling the blinds or programming the appliances, each function is designed to adapt to your needs and optimize the use of resources, making your home a smart and sustainable space.

As summer draws to a close, fall preparations become essential, especially when it comes to the comforts of your home. The cool weather requires us to pay attention to how we manage our indoor temperature, and VIKI is the perfect partner in this transition.
VIKI: Intelligent and Adaptable
VIKI is not just an ordinary smart home system. Thanks to artificial intelligence, VIKI recognizes your behavior and learns your daily habits. This means that as the temperatures start to drop, VIKI will automatically adjust the indoor temperature to suit your preferences. Whether you want a cooler bedroom at night or a warm living room in the morning, VIKI will make the necessary adjustments without you having to intervene.
How does it work?
With the help of temperature and humidity sensors, VIKI constantly monitors the conditions in the house.

VIKI makes your life easier by ensuring that your home is always at the ideal temperature, regardless of the weather outside. VIKI knows!
The VIKI team is always looking for partners to help us bring this smart home automation system as close as possible to buyers across the country.
For this purpose we promote the application by attending profile events and online trying to make it popular among those interested – architects, builders, specialists in the field, decision makers from companies with an interest in promoting, installing or designing VIKI.
Having a virtual assistant attributions, installing a smart home system may seem a complex and difficult process, but not if we are speaking about VIKI.
One of VIKI’s particularities is the fact that it is easy to install and configure. Thanks to the learning and the imitation of the human behaviour algorithms, the system is automaticaly adapting to the changes in the environment where it is installed, without needing a manual reconfiguration of the settings every time the family makes changes in its preferences.
The solution may be installed in new or finished houses, using a wireless technology that does not require special cabling.
Sensors and access control equipment are able to function on network energy or batteries with a 4 months to 2 years life, depending on the chosen type.
Once the system is installed in your home it will learn all the habits of family members related to lighting, climate and multimedia devices and know when to put them into action, and when the daily routine of the family is changing, the system reconfigures itself with the changes it register.
If until recently the home automation systems were considered science fiction, they are becoming now more and more present into our lives. Managing to control and monitor almost all the technological devices we use in a house, either we are at home or kilometers away, they bring significant benefits in what concernes the energy savings.
How many times has it happened to forget the lights or the heat turned on while leaving home? Our intelligent home automation system now allows not only to continuously monitor the status and to turn on/off from the phone all the electonical smart devices, but will learn your program, it will know when you came or leave the home, and therefore will heat the house at the right temperature, and will turn it off when the house is empty. In addition to the results in savings , such a solution eliminates concerns and gives the users peace of mind.
But much of the electricity is consumed while we are at home and without us realizing it. Whether we move from room to room and forget the light on, whether we find another activity while the TV remains on in another room, a smart home will know when it is time to close them due to motion sensors that identify the presence or absence of users in a certain room.
With the touch of a button, the tools to maximize the energy efficiency of the house are now within everyone’s reach. Technology that recently we could see only in movies is now here and besides comfort and entertainment brings the possibility of an economy of resources.
We are all fascinated by technology, but this fascination goes often to the point to which we understand how things work and learn how to use it without too much hassles, and most of the times even without touching the user’s guide.
We often get asked whether VIKI the home automation system requires major changes in the configuration of the house, or if after installation will require periodic intervention from a specialist. The answer is in both cases negative.
Installing a home intelligent automation system
Whether it’s about a house under construction or a flat already compleatly furnished the installation is as simple because it does not require dedicated wiring. Depending on the configuration chosen there will be sensors that record motion, lighting, heat and humidity, and all the electrical switches and devices will be upgraded so as to communicate with the house server.
Each device in the installation kit is configured with VIKI intelligence by our technical staff, before being sent to the user’s house, according to its specifications and preferences. Installation can be done by a electrician or home security systems specialist.
Configuring the Home automation system
Certainly a home automation solution involves some changes in the daily routine of the users. Once the system is installed in your home will learn all the family members related habits regarding lights, climate and multimedia devices and know when is the right time to put them into action. Of course there is no need to quit operating the light’s swithers or the remote controlers, they will operate as before, only that now you have VIKI’s predictive intelligence .
But what happens when your routine changes completely or if there will be another member in the familly ? Will you need to turn to a specialist for reconfiguration? Of course no, because VIKI is an adaptable system that reconfigures alone with the changes they register is user’s habits.
Even if apparently installing an home automation system seems a complex process, once you established the configuration and desired facilities, integrating the system in your home is a process of maximum two days with results that are going to surprise you.
With the beginning of the year and the information that arrived to us from the latest CES (Consumer Technology Association) where large electronics manufacturers presented their latest products, we decided to make a list of what 2016 looks for the home automation environment.
1. From Smart Home to Intelligent Home
A smart device is more or less a gadget that can be automated and controlled via the Internet from a phone, tablet or application. Instead, a intelligently device comes with a series of algorithms which gives it a kind of its own intelligence, and it’s capable of undertaking a series of actions according with our previous behavior. In the scenario where a user listens to music in a given weekday, in a certain time frame and in a particular room of the house, VIKI will know to reproduce this behavior, even without user’s intervention, at exactly the right moment and the favourit playlist.
2. Live Smart. Save Energy
Starting with thermostats that automate the control of the temperature, applications that let you do this remotely, we reach to a more complex system that monitors consumption and reminds you when you should stop and start the heat. VIKI not only that identifies when someone is at home and maintains a certain temperature in the rooms, but knows when you’re about to get home and is waiting for you with a warm and welcoming home.
Moreover when you go on vacation and forget to announce it, it stops automatically the heat and keeps it at a level favorable for the plants.
3. Home Safe Home
Security is a major concern for any family and must be an important feature for every home automation solution. Starting with various security systems that operate individually and are designed more to supervise, we get back to VIKI who has the role to tell you when you forget your windows or doors open or to facilitate the access to the house only with your mobile phone.
Therefore, although the home automation market is growing and more and more smart devices appear every day, for the users, the only thing that remains important is to make their lives easier giving them comfort and security.
Developed with the purpose of making our time in front of the TV more enjoyable, remote controls have become absolutely essential, just too many and too often lost.
You can’t find your remote? Surely your phone or tablet are always at your fingertips where you have VIKI’s multimedia control feature from which you can control your TV, the audio system, and the home theatre.
Possibility of on / off directly from your phone or tablet tv, all available channels list and with the possibility to change them with a simple click. See the video below:
