Shelly: A new technology for implementing the VIKI system in any home
“We want a smart home, but we don’t want to break walls and install cables everywhere” – this is the objection we most often encounter from customers, when we propose the VIKI system for their already finished houses. The next objection is the one related to the budget, which can be quite high, when we choose the implementation with wired technologies (KNX, DALI etc.).

VIKI + HEMS = LOVE
New steps have been made in the development of the HEMS mode in the VIKI application, in the past weeks – the communication interfaces with the new energy producers and consumers have been created. We are rapidly developing the concept of HEMS – Home Energy Management System, crucial for self-sustaining homes, which we mentioned in previous articles.
HEMS – Home Energy Management System includes both the hardware (equipment) and the software that manages the flow of energy production and consumption, allowing the user to monitor consumption, but also their own energy production (where it exists), respectively to control, manually or automatically, the energy consumption of the house. In the end, we want a house capable of managing its energy as well as possible, consuming as much of its own production as possible, so that the total cost of external energy resources consumed is minimal.

Restarting the VIKI home server
Restarting the VIKI server application regularly leads to a more stable working environment and a better operation of the VIKI SERVER application. Periodic restarts also protect the system from unforeseen shutdowns, and this maintenance operation can be done easily, without requiring the presence of a specialist from the VIKI support team.
The option is available in the VIKI client application – settings section. Continue reading “Restarting the VIKI home server” »
VIKI and the urban garden. How to manage a green balcony in the city
We continue the series “VIKI in real life” and this time we present a garden in Cluj-Napoca, located on the terrace of an apartment, managed entirely by the automatic irrigation system implemented in VIKI.
We wrote a lot about what VIKI can do, about the ways it can make our lives easier, about how it protects our house, about how it ensures the desired comfort and much more. But it is important to actually see what a house equipped with the VIKI automation system looks like in everyday life, so we take another look at our customers’ homes.

What do you do when your Smart HOME warranty expires?
The strength of the VIKI system is the ability to learn the habits of the inhabitants of the house and to adapt to their preferences, without the need for outside intervention, for settings. Specifically, the VIKI AI automatically reconfigures all settings when family preferences change.
However, if customers prefer VIKI specialists to intervene physically in their locations and provide support for equipment installed in the house, we have launched post-warranty maintenance plans, designed to support customers older than 2 years.
All VIKI users are granted assistance included in the sale price for the first two years of using the product. And after this time, they can choose maintenance packages, depending on their needs and preferences. Continue reading “What do you do when your Smart HOME warranty expires?” »

Want to know how much it costs to build your smart home? You can configure it yourself, on the VIKI website
Smart homes were once called the homes of the future, but they can no longer be considered a distant dream, because they are already present in the lives of many people – and their number is growing. And VIKI’s intelligence has constantly developed over the last 5 years, automating our customers’ homes, increasing their comfort, energy savings and the pleasure of living in a space that is constantly adapting to their needs.
One of the first questions received by our team from smart home enthusiasts is: how much does the VIKI system cost?
The answer is not so easy to give, as each house has its own features – number of rooms, halls, bathrooms, terraces etc. – and every homeowner can see their home automation differently. The price of a home automation system is influenced by several aspects, such as the number of equipment needed, what kind of technologies we choose, what we want to automate – because we can choose several facilities offered by VIKI.

Home Energy Management Systems: The HEMS module integrated with VIKI home
Considering the increasingly harsh impact on climate of the emissions from fossil fuel energy, in the near future every home will have to integrate a smart management of its resources and energy consumption. From this premise we started with the VIKI team in the development of the module we are currently working on, respectively an algorithm for the management of energy producers and consumers, in a smart home.
The question we want to answer is: how can we manage the energy to be consumed in the smartest way, at the lowest possible cost for the user?

The winter holidays are getting closer and, even if this year we will not travel too far from home, we will still want to know it is protected, when we are away.
A house ‘equipped’ with VIKI does not require additional attention from the owners even when they go on vacation. All you have to do is to activate the “Leave” scenario (for only a day) or “Mini-Holiday” or “Holiday”, if you are going to be away longer. The house will remain safe, ready for our return.
