During years work with iRidium I’ve never had a chance to let the developers themselves evaluate my work. I’d like the developers to see the importance of the product in which they invest so much time and effort. I also wanted to show my work to other installers, to see what others can do, to go to another step in my professional development. Thank you, iRidium mobile team, for such a chance!

The main thing that motivated me to take part in the competition is to present myself as an integrator, to show my design. I was also interested to know how competitive my work is among other professionals, as I’m only a beginner in automation, I’ve been in this business for only a year and a half, but I’m quite ambitious ))). And of course the main prize – iPhone! It’s always pleasant to be awarded a prize for well-done work!

Highly Complex High-quality Automation of Residence


Highly Complex High-quality Automation of Residence

Project “My Smarthome” is an incredibly complex project where 3 iPads control lighting, blinds, climate, diode tape, multiroom system, web-cameras, ventilation, heating, outdoor sprinkling system, home cinema, weather station etc. The interface was specially designed for the project.

There are different reasons for the participation in this competition. We wanted to show that:

1.) you can do more than lights, shutters and home cinema with iRidium

2.) the way of navigation differs from other projects. Our customers prefer a much more detailed way of showing information of their houses.
So we take a groundplan of the different floors and implement all details. This groundplan is always visible and
the basic functionalities (e.g. switching lights) can be done directly in the groundplan.
All functionalities, that go further than this, are realized with sidebars.

3.) it is possible to create a simple GUI, that is completely free of graphical styles (beside the symbols in the navigation buttons).
By this, we are able to resize the GUI to other solution and aspect ratios without taking care of each element

4.) In the end we hope to spread iridium in Germany 🙂
