It’s Saturday morning. It’s cold outside, the thermometer shows 1°C, and you’re still hiding under the covers, clutching your imaginary coffee mug in your hands. But something is different — the house is already warm, the blinds have slowly risen, and the light in the living room has discreetly turned on. It’s not magic. It’s just VIKI, which can be taught that on certain days you want to have a gentler wake-up.
That’s how a smart home works, learning who you are and what you like. VIKI doesn’t just react to commands — it anticipates. She noticed that on late autumn weekends you like to have 22°C in your bedroom in the morning and warm light in the kitchen. So she’s got it all set up before you even get out of bed.
And yes, VIKI is also attentive to the weather. If the forecast announces negative temperatures, it sends you a notification a few days in advance: “It will be -1°C this weekend. Empty the irrigation systems and bring sensitive plants indoors.” All that is missing is to add: “And don’t forget your scarf!”
But beyond the nice messages, it is about safety and efficiency. VIKI automatically regulates energy consumption, turns off the heating in unused rooms and maintains the optimal temperature only where it is needed. If you are away from home, the system switches to economy mode and returns to ideal comfort shortly before your arrival.
That’s a home that thinks. One that doesn’t just make your life easier, it makes it warmer — literally and figuratively. Because this winter, you’re not the one turning on the heat. VIKI is, for you.

The temperatures are dropping, the leaves are rustling, and VIKI is keeping an eye on the forecast. Not because she wants to recommend a thicker sweater (although, who knows, maybe she’ll do that soon), but because she’s making sure your home is prepared for the cold.
When your home knows winter is coming
One October morning, a simple but extremely useful message appeared on VIKI’s screen: “Negative temperature alert!”
And that’s not all. VIKI came packed with practical advice, as if it were a caring mother reminding you of what you did before the frost arrived:
“Cover or bring plants sensitive to cold inside.”
“Completely drain irrigation systems to prevent burst pipes.”
“Fit winter tires.”
“Use antifreeze windshield fluid.”
All based on data provided by the weather service, analyzed in real time, so VIKI can predict the drop in temperatures days in advance. So you no longer need to look at weather apps every day – VIKI does it for you and warns you at the right time.
Care for your home, garden and… your comfort
What we like most about this system (besides the fact that it is created by us) is the way it connects all aspects of the house. If you have an irrigation system controlled by VIKI, it can automatically turn off the water supply before freezing. If you have outdoor temperature sensors, the data is instantly correlated with the rest of the house functions – air conditioning, lighting, security.
VIKI doesn’t just react, it prevents. Because a truly smart home doesn’t wait for things to happen – it anticipates them.
Almost like a good mother
When you get a notification from VIKI, it’s like hearing a warm voice saying:
“Don’t forget to empty the garden hose, honey!”
And honestly, you can’t help but smile.
VIKI doesn’t scold you, it doesn’t insist – it just makes your life easier. Because beyond all the technical components and advanced automation, VIKI is about caring. Caring to make your home safer, more efficient and better prepared for any season.

Late summer means scorching sun, rare rains and gardens that need a lot more attention. For the average homeowner, this means wasted time with the hose or complicated programming of the classic irrigation system. For a smart home, however, the solution is simple: watering automation through VIKI.
How VIKI irrigation works
VIKI integrates humidity, temperature and light sensors and uses the collected data to decide when and how much water to provide to the plants. Everything is managed through the smart board and friendly interface, where the owner can:
– set irrigation programs for each area of the garden;
– monitor watering through graphs and reports;
– receive notifications when a program has been executed;
– adjust the duration or frequency of watering in real time.
Irrigation by areas
The garden can be divided into several circuits – lawn, trees, flowers, vegetables – and each receives the necessary water on a separate schedule. If the water network does not have enough flow to cover the entire space simultaneously, VIKI “breaks” the program into stages, so that each area is irrigated correctly.
Water tank and precise control
In many implementations, the system includes a rainwater storage tank (also with a dechlorination function) and actuators controlled by VIKI. These decide when to fill the tank and when to start the irrigation circuits. The result? Efficient water use and a healthy garden, without the risk of overwatering.
Urban garden – same technology, different scale
If in a large yard we are talking about lawn and trees, in a city apartment the challenge is different: a few pots on the balcony or even a terrace transformed into an urban garden. And here VIKI makes the difference:
– each pot or area of the terrace can be connected to the irrigation circuit;
– sensors transmit information about humidity and light;
– in the absence of natural light, VIKI can turn on special lamps to support photosynthesis.
With a smart irrigation system managed by VIKI, your garden becomes autonomous and efficient. You set the rules once, and then you can go on vacation or to work, knowing that each plant receives water exactly when it needs it.
Whether you have a generous yard or a balcony transformed into a corner of nature, VIKI gives you the comfort of knowing that your garden is in good hands.
We like to be prepared with clear solutions for any type of home. That’s why we created two predefined versions of smart electrical panels – VIKI BrainBOX BASIC and VIKI BrainBOX ADVANCED. But, every now and then, a project comes along that challenges us to think beyond the standard. That’s how MAXIMUS was born.
It all started with a special request: a client who was building a house of approximately 250 sq m and who wanted total control over his home, without compromise. The two existing models were no longer enough – more power, more flexibility, more circuits and a personalized approach were needed.
That’s how VIKI BrainBOX MAXIMUS was born – a custom panel, with 400% more managed facilities than the ADVANCED model, with approximately 100 output circuits and 35 smart inputs, designed specifically to meet the needs of this generous home.
What can MAXIMUS do?
MAXIMUS is the heart of the VIKI system, from where all intelligent controls, automations and decisions made based on the behavior of the residents start. Here are some of the functions it manages:
INTERIOR:
– Entrance door control with electromagnetic shutter
– Complete ambient lighting (On/Off, dimming, LED strips, RGBW) with scenarios, VIKI intelligence or app controls
– Automatic water supply shut-off in case of flooding, via solenoid valve
– Integration with underfloor heating system and heat recovery ventilation system
– Automation for curtains, drapes, blinds, roller shutters or awnings
– Monitoring of energy consumption via smart meter, with direct reporting in the app
EXTERIOR:
– Entrance bell and call reader
– Intelligent architectural lighting, with two levels of intensity, motion detection and presence simulation scenarios
– Dedicated lighting for the barbecue area
– Control of access to the yard (gates), garage and pedestrian
– Automated outdoor irrigation
– Dedicated circuit for storage battery and photovoltaic panels
In addition to these functions managed by the panel, the house was also equipped with a series of sensors and smart equipment strategically placed in each area. They constantly communicate with the VIKI server and provide essential information for automated decision-making. We are talking about presence sensors (which also measure temperature, humidity and ambient light), smoke and CO2 sensors, door and window sensors that send alerts or automatically adjust the climate, as well as flood sensors placed in key areas.
In addition, the house benefits from smart features that increase comfort and safety: the system is ready for the integration of a high-performance Home Cinema, ambient sound is distributed to several rooms, and the TVs in the living room can be controlled directly through VIKI. The Wi-Fi connection is optimized for stable coverage in all rooms, and the system automatically detects the presence of family members. It is also integrated with an alarm system, has electrical backup for essential functions and is protected by a reliable voltage regulator.
All these components form the nervous system of the home, and VIKI AI algorithms interpret them to learn the family’s routines, anticipate needs and execute the necessary actions, without anyone having to press a button.
MAXIMUS is proof that when the customer wants a home that knows, we do whatever it takes to make that dream come true. Because VIKI knows!
Or, in other words, how do you transform a 73 sq m apartment in an old block of flats into a smart home that makes your life simpler, safer and more comfortable.
It all started with a clear desire: “We want a smarter home.” Not necessarily a bigger or newer space, but a home that responds to the needs of those who live in it. A home that turns on the light when needed, heats the space only when someone is present and knows, without being asked, what a normal day in the family looks like.
📍 The starting space: a classic block of flats, 73 sq m. Wired like in the 2000s, with visible sockets and switches, old electrical installation and no trace of “smart” in the walls.
🔧 A serious renovation followed, a retrofit – that is, a large-scale intervention in which all the electrical installations were changed, the walls were deeply grooved, and the finishes were completely redone. The only thing that was kept was the floor – otherwise, everything was adapted for a smart future.
What does “smart” mean in this case?
📱 First of all, switches were completely abandoned. Yes, you read that right. There is no more “turn on the light in the living room” – because now the lights turn on and off by themselves, depending on how people move around the house.
🔥 The heating – with radiators – is also automated. VIKI knows when someone is home, in which room, and maintains the ideal temperature there. And when you are away, consumption automatically decreases.
🔐 The security is also smart:
Sensors that detect unusual movements at doors and windows – and send instant notifications.
Smoke and carbon dioxide sensors, for emergencies.
Flood sensors, which can save you from costly repairs (in your home or at your neighbors’).
All can be interfaced with solutions that communicate with security dispatchers, for even more peace of mind.
🧠 This entire network is orchestrated by VIKI BrainBOX – the brain of the house, which analyzes the behaviors of the residents and learns what “normal” means to them. VIKI is not just an automation system, but a butler assistant for your home, which makes decisions for you, without you telling it what to do every time. Watch the VIDEO of the home transformation.
How much does such a transformation cost?
There are two standard variants:
BASIC – suitable for apartments and small spaces, with essential functionalities – 3,790 EUR (VAT included).
ADVANCED – ideal for more complex homes or projects, with extended functionalities and more controllable areas – 4,980 EUR (VAT included).
💡 In addition, you can customize the system with extra functionalities, depending on your lifestyle, preferences and needs. Because VIKI Knows!

Why does all this matter?
Because your time is precious. Because safety shouldn’t depend on a locked door or a watchful neighbor. Because it’s absurd to give simple, daily commands to a house that can learn to do them on its own. VIKI transforms homes into places that understand you. Whether you live in an old block of flats or a new villa, VIKI gives you that upgrade you need: real comfort, without buttons.
