What pleased us most of all in that projects sent to the third annual project competition, iRidium Awards 2016, are marked with exceptional quality of both interfaces and automation projects themselves.
The jury of the contest, iRidium mobile team and external experts, watched the sent video with interest and read carefully project descriptions. The Grand Prix was seriously contested by several high-quality projects.

«Montem Capere Villa» – it is a 1200m2 big private house. The main focus is to reach the maximum quality of life. So it was important to make a user interface which is really easy. The interface contains pictures of rooms, so you always know which room you control. There is also a technical back end interface for all settings. The users have the front end easy interface where he use the daily features.

Here are our experts’ comments on the project:
- 1 interface for everything. One design in the interface, and not 3 or 4 different designs (look and feels).
- Many many controlled systems and devices: AMX, KNX, audio, video, SIP, camera’s, TV lifts, that’s integration!
- A unique way to present this project by the programmers/designers! Super!!!
The professional integration can be given an excellent mark with a small minus. The minus is for LG TV-sets. They can also be controlled via RS232, by using USB-RS232 adapter.
