Nice: 'New Next Series tube motors for blinds, zipper screens and shutters' 

Nice, which presents itself as a world leader in Home Management Solutions, offers a complete range of integrated solutions and products for this purpose, with a special design as an additional feature. Nice will present itself with it at R+T 2024 in Stuttgart. 

With IoT (Internet of Things, ed.) technologies, Nice says the home becomes an active system capable of taking care of itself and its occupants and ultimately simplifying daily life. Nice aims to create a more comfortable and energy-efficient environment in homes and buildings. They do this with a wide range of solutions, including applications for indoor and outdoor shading and blinds, among others. 

This approach is an integral part of Nice's strategy toward optimal sustainability. One of the company's goals is to reduce CO2 emissions by designing solutions according to the principles of eco-design, using recycled materials and reducing energy consumption by integrating special technologies. 

Energy-efficient solutions for winter

To reduce heating costs and electricity bills, it is becoming increasingly important to equip homes and buildings with solutions that let in more sunlight - and therefore heat - and efficiently deal with heat loss after sunset during the cold season. Nice offers systems to easily automate shading solutions to create more energy-efficient and comfortable conditions in living and working spaces. 

Nice Green Innovation: Nice Next series of tube motors

With Nice's new Next series of tubular motors for blinds, zipper screens and shutters, the Italian company says the end user can enjoy maximum efficiency and control over installations without compromising on elegance or performance. These new motors represent Nice's values of innovation, durability, design, technology and quality. 

In line with Nice's commitment to creating products responsibly, the company says the Next Series' advanced technology reduces energy consumption by 35% compared to similar motors on the market. In addition, the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) study shows a reduction of as much as 59% in CO2 emissions compared to previous Nice motors. 

Characteristics of the Nice Next series of tube motors according to Nice: 

• Movement in control - Automation adapts to residents' needs, taking into account their habits
• Low noise performance - State-of-the-art braking technology ensures smooth and quiet movement
• Connectivity - The built-in Nice two-way radio communication protocol makes the motors compatible with all Nice gateways
• Quick installation - The motor is ready to use and can be installed quickly thanks to the pre-assembled cable that can be disconnected

The Next Series is also available with a Solar Kit with a pre-charged, external battery and solar panel to reduce energy consumption and save on utility bills:

• Energy Saving - Using free and clean solar energy
• Ready to use immediately - Prior charging of the battery is not necessary
• Reliable in all seasons - The motor can be charged with a USB-C cable

Easy connection to Yubii Home

The Next Series' bidirectional radio communication protocol is compatible with all Nice gateways and, when connected to the Yubii Home gateway, can be integrated with more than 3,000 third-party Z-Wave devices. It can also be managed via voice assistants. With the smartphone and the Yubii app, all smart home automations can be controlled from anywhere in the world. Thus, according to Nice, the home becomes a perfect, safe, smart and comfortable environment that can be managed through automated scenarios that adapt to needs and habits.
