Nice, one of the world leaders in home management solutions, also offers smart solutions for motorhome enthusiasts to enable them to make their vehicles safer, more comfortable and more sustainable. After all, a motorhome is like a house, only more compact! Why not enjoy the benefits of home automation in this house on wheels?
According to the Fédération des Campeurs, Caravaniers et Camping-caristes, there were 505,000 motorhomes in France for 1.4 million enthusiasts at the end of 2021. In 2023, 92,388 registrations of vans and motorhomes were recorded according to the recreational vehicle union (Univdl). A figure up almost 2% compared to 2022. The motorhome market is therefore still going strong and continues to attract more and more fans of this form of outdoor tourism.
Spring is often the right time to consider a road trip and take full advantage of reduced traffic on the roads in low season. To travel with complete peace of mind, Nice brings together in a single system all the solutions for intelligent management of your vehicle. Among the different options offered by Nice are the management of blinds and shutters, temperature control, lighting, as well as monitoring against intrusions, fire risks or water leaks.
For effective integration of these solutions, Nice provides its home automation box Yubii Home, also compatible with the Z-Wave protocol and more than 3,000 devices from other brands, as well as the backup battery HubPowerbank, equipped with WiFi/LTE/3G mobile access that ensures up to 12 hours of operation of the devices in the event of a temporary power outage or Internet connectivity.
Efficient and silent management of solar protection
For intelligent, sustainable and efficient control of natural light and the internal temperature of the passenger compartment, Nice offers the Next Fit M Solar, a tubular motor for blinds and shutters that runs on solar energy, equipped with an integrated electronic stop and radio receiver. The automation of solar protection improves thermal comfort in winter and limits overheating in summer, while reducing the need for air conditioning.
Although the Next Fit M Solar is powered by solar energy, its design also allows it to be charged using a USB type C cable. The Soft Start and Stop technology ensures total silence during operation, as it automatically reduces its speed and regulates it to a minimum of 6 revolutions per minute.
To automate the interior blinds of vans and motorhomes, Nice offers Era Inn Edge S Li-ion, a small tubular motor (35 mm in diameter and 530 mm in length), extremely quiet (< 35 dB). This solution integrates a battery giving it a long battery life of up to 1 year (1 cycle/day), rechargeable in less than 1 hour via USB-C cable. Wireless, this motor is easy to install and does not require any connection.
These two solutions can be controlled via the Yubii Home App or using a compatible remote control, such as the Nice Era P.
Guarantee the safety of the caravan
The safety and comfort of motorhome owners are essential. In a vehicle where we travel, live and sleep, risk control is therefore a priority.
This is possible thanks to Flood-Control, a water leak detector, which warns the user in the event of water damage. Installed on the floor or on a wall, it is equipped with an LED indicator and an audible alarm that are triggered in the event of flooding.
For fire situations, Nice includes in its range the Smoke-Control, a smoke sensor. When it detects smoke, it emits an audible signal, flashes an LED light and transmits the alert to the Z-Wave network, allowing a notification to be sent to a smartphone.
For the detection of dangerous gases such as carbon monoxide, Nice offers the CO-Control device. Thanks to its extreme sensitivity, it is able to detect this toxic gas at an early stage, thus avoiding the risk of poisoning. If carbon monoxide is detected in the living space, it activates an LED light alert and an integrated sound alarm.
Nice also presents Door/Window-Control, an opening detector for doors and windows. This accessory can be easily added to the caravan's alarm system to monitor the status of openings, whether for specific scenarios or the monitoring of secure spaces. Simple to install, it has anti-burglary features that detect any attempt at sabotage or opening.
These safety accessories are multifunctional and can be used to control the temperature thanks to their integrated temperature sensor.
Thus, the Motion-Control motion, temperature and brightness detector can be used in many scenarios such as receiving a notification in the event of movement, automatically managing the blinds according to the exterior brightness and the interior temperature or activating the lighting with a simple gesture.
Optimal comfort
To create the desired atmosphere according to the weather or the time of day, it is possible to manage the lighting and the intensity of the light via RGBW-Control. This is a module allowing the remote control of LEDs, RGB and RBGW as well as halogen lighting.
Nice ensures total security and unrivaled comfort, as all of these products can be integrated into the Yubii Home app, giving the user the ability to connect to their vehicle, manage it via voice commands or remotely via their smartphone, from anywhere.
