DESIGN NAME: The Thermostat for Smartphone
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Individual Home Thermostat
INSPIRATION: The Netatmo Thermostat for Smartphone was created in order to simplify home heating programs. Today, 80%* of programable thermostats users do not actually create or change their heating program because their use are too complicated (*market study).
With its translucent, minimalist, Plexiglass cube, timeless shape, the Netatmo Thermostat for Smartphone blends on your home’s wall. 5 interchangeable colors are available within the box to match your home’s decoration.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The Thermostat for Smartphone allows to control your home heating remotely. It plans a heating program based on the user's habits. The Thermostat allows to save up to 25%* on energy spendings, by avoiding to heat when buildings are unoccupied (*based on Ademe study). It allows to reduce the home heating carbon footprint. The user remotely accesses his heating system from the companion App, with great simplicity. There are no unnecessary buttons on the Thermostat: physical interactions are kept to the bare minimum, while the touch screen on the App is intuitive.
