The challenges of developing electronic products
dedicated to smart homes and smart buildings

Increase comfort, reduce energy costs, enhance security…
Home automation addresses many societal issues. But how can it be implemented?

IoT interoperability

Smart devices must communicate with other devices (Zigbee, Z-Wave, Thread, Matter, Wi-Fi, BLE, etc.), ecosystems (Google Home, Apple HomeKit, Amazon Alexa, Home Assistant), and proprietary protocols.

Energy self-sufficiency

Wireless devices must have a long battery life (years) while remaining powerful. It is therefore necessary to work on optimizing consumption, selecting suitable batteries, and intelligent power management.

Miniaturization and industrial design

Connected devices must be compact, attractive, and ergonomic, while incorporating complex electronic components (batteries, sensors, antennas, etc.).

Reliability and durability

Devices must withstand real-world conditions (shocks, humidity, temperature variations, wear and tear). Qualification tests are therefore essential to ensure their robustness.

Eco-design

Consumers and regulators demand sustainable and recyclable products. Eco-design is a factor that must be taken into account as early as possible.

From ideation to manufacturing your product

From concept to certified product, we control 100% of the value chain.

Eco-design

We integrate eco-responsibility from the earliest stages to create high-performance, sustainable products designed to reduce their environmental impact.

Prototyping

We create functional prototypes to enable you to test your market, convince your users, or raise funds with complete credibility.

Qualification

We test your product under extreme conditions to ensure its reliability, safety, and compliance with the required standards.

Industrialization

From prototype to series production, we design and optimize tools, assembly lines, and test benches for reliable and controlled production.

Certification

We assist you in obtaining all necessary certifications and ensure that your products comply with regulations.

Manufacturing

Thousands of products manufactured: we ensure flexible, controlled, high-quality production, recognized by more than 250 customers.

NodOn

Complete Smart Home range

NodOn designs and manufactures a complete range of connected actuators, controllers, and sensors (for controlling lighting, heating, windows, electrical appliances, etc.) for companies in all sectors: residential, commercial, hospitality, industrial, etc.

Altyor’s role: Design, mechatronic design, industrialization, production

Somfy

Smart alarm

This connected alarm is a security solution that alerts you before an intrusion occurs.

How? In addition to this system, Intellitags are attached to all types of openings (doors, windows, bay windows) to analyze vibrations and sound the alarm.

No false alarms—it can distinguish between normal vibrations (wind, ball, visitor knocking on the door, etc.) and vibrations typical of a break-in (crowbar, sledgehammer, etc.).

FAQ – Hardware product development for smart homes and smart buildings

What are Smart Homes and Smart Buildings?

Smart Homes and Smart Buildings refer to residential or commercial environments equipped with connected electronic devices that enable users to control, automate, and optimize comfort, energy consumption, security, and usage. These solutions are based on hardware devices that integrate electronics, software, and connectivity.

Why is hardware strategic in the smart home?

Hardware is at the heart of the Smart Home experience. It must be reliable, discreet, secure, and durable. Unlike software, an electronic product installed in a building is designed to operate for several years, often without heavy maintenance, which requires rigorous design from the outset.

How to move from prototype to production for a Smart Home product?

The transition to industrialization requires taking manufacturing, assembly, testing, and logistics constraints into account at a very early stage. Functional prototypes, tested under real-world conditions, enable the product to be optimized before mass production begins.

Why rely on a hardware expert for a Smart Home project?

The Smart Home combines electronics, mechanics, software, connectivity, and real-world usage constraints. Relying on a hardware development expert helps secure the project, anticipate industrial risks, and transform an innovation into a reliable, industrializable, and sustainable product.
