NEXITY AND SOMFY JOIN FORCES TO CONNECT RESIDENTS TO THEIR HOMES Paris, 15 January 2017 With the constant aim of anticipating the changing needs of tomorrow's city dwellers, Nexity is speeding up its transformation into a real estate service platform. It signs a partnership with SOMFY, the world leader in automatic controls for openings and closures in homes and buildings and a key player in the smart home industry, in order to manage the "smart home" section of its brand new service: Eugénie. Eugénie enables residents to be connected to their homes through "smart home” management, also to their property managers by serving as a reciprocal communication tool; to their neighbors as a community tool with up-to-the-minute local services; to support services by listing approved service providers and maintenance professionals, who can intervene if necessary in the private areas of collective housing at a fair price; and also to their neighborhood since the tool acts a relay for local municipal information. Eugénie is more than just a technology or an app, it is a new service that brings people closer together. In the Eugénie offering, SOMFY is responsible for developing the “smart home” section— reliable, simple, state of the art and “made in France”. SOMFY brings its expertise in terms of smart solutions that are easy to use, durable and scalable, with a range of products that enable residents to intuitively manage, control and program their equipment (shutters, lightning, heating, etc.) whilst at home, or remotely via their smart phone. For SOMFY this partnership contributes towards materializing its open API policy launched in 2017. For Nexity’s Deputy Managing Director Jean-Philippe Ruggieri, “Eugénie will be deployed on large scale from 2018 and will contribute to tomorrow’s smart, balanced and inclusive city. We need a partner who lives up to our ambitions and are very happy to be able to work with SOMFY.” Franck Schädlich, SOMFY’s Executive Vice President Business & Marketing EMEA, added, “SOMFY is proud to share in Nexity's grand ambition for tomorrow’s urban housing – housing that is smart, linked to the outside world and which brings greater comfort and wellbeing to its residents”.
