Smart Home, Green Planet: How the Nice Ecosystem Supports a Sustainable Future

There’s a moment every year when nature gently reminds us to slow down, breathe deeply, and focus on what truly matters. That moment is spring—an ideal time for renewal and reflection. It’s also the season when we celebrate Earth Day, on April 22, a global call to action for protecting the environment.

Because even within our homes, every small choice can make a big difference. When comfort meets sustainability, home becomes the first step toward a better, greener world.

And that’s exactly where Nice Smart Home comes in—an intelligent, modular, and fully connected ecosystem, designed not only to simplify your life but also to reduce energy consumption, optimize resources, and enhance your everyday comfort. A technology that is practical, accessible, and increasingly green.

A Connected Ecosystem for Your Home and the Planet

What makes the Nice Smart Home truly unique is its ability to integrate all home automation devices into one seamless experience. Blinds, shutters, lights, garage doors, gates, climate sensors, thermostats, appliances—they all communicate with one another through Yubii Home, the smart gateway that serves as the heart and brain of your home.

With Yubii Home, you can create custom automation scenarios, simplify daily routines, and let your home adapt to your lifestyle—not the other way around. From lighting control to climate management, from security to comfort, everything works together effortlessly and sustainably. 

Smart Technology for Living in Harmony with Nature

Take automated blinds and solar shading systems, for example. In spring, as sunlight and heat increase, our instinct is often to turn on the air conditioning. But there’s a smarter—and greener—alternative.

Thanks to Nice automation systems, blinds adjust automatically throughout the day—lowering during peak sunlight and raising to let in natural light—helping you maintain an ideal indoor temperature while reducing energy usage. In fact, a study by the European Commission's Joint Research Centre found that automated shading can reduce solar heat gain by up to 60%, significantly lowering the need for cooling (*).

Era Inn Edge S Li-ion BD: The Silent and Sustainable Revolution

Among the latest innovations driving sustainable living is Nice Era Inn Edge S Li-ion BD—a motorized solution for indoor blinds powered by a rechargeable lithium-ion battery, designed for wireless, cable-free installation with up to one year of battery life.

Quiet as a whisper (under 35 dB), easy to install, and fully integrated with Yubii Home, it enables remote monitoring, customized scenarios, and compatibility with over 3,000 Z-Wave smart devices. A perfect blend of personalized comfort and sustainable living.

Even Access Systems Go Green

Your automated gates and garage doors can also support your eco-friendly lifestyle. Integrated with Yubii Home and powered by geolocation features, they open only when needed—minimizing unnecessary energy loss and heat dispersion.

Even better, many Nice outdoor automation systems are solar-ready, allowing you to power access points cleanly and efficiently (**).

Because a truly smart home is one that welcomes you sustainably—no buttons required.

A Connected Home Is a Conscious Home

According to research from Berg Insight, advanced smart homes can reduce energy consumption by up to 30%, particularly in lighting and climate control (***).

That’s why every component of the Nice ecosystem—blinds, lights, shutters, garage doors, sensors—works in sync to optimize energy usage and improve your overall quality of life. From scheduling your morning light to turning off the A/C when windows are open, or receiving alerts for unusual activity, Nice turns your home into a space that’s smart and energy-aware.

Nice’s Vision for a Greener Future

Sustainability isn’t just a feature—it’s a philosophy. Nice continues to invest in recycled materials, eco-friendly packaging, low-emission manufacturing processes, and the development of energy-efficient technologies, as highlighted in its most recent Sustainability Report.

Because true innovation is not just about comfort—it’s about respecting the planet while improving everyday life.

Small Actions, Big Impact

A smart home isn’t just more convenient. It’s more conscious, more secure, and more sustainable. It’s a home that listens, protects, and adapts to your needs—while contributing to a better world.

Thanks to the fully integrated Nice ecosystem, every choice you make at home becomes a powerful action toward sustainability.

This spring, in honor of Earth Day, why not take the first step toward a smarter and greener home?
