The 2015 International Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas will be an opportunity for Legrand
Group to show off its range of solutions for the connected Smart

new connected objects integrated with its own residential
lines.
Visitors to the CES will be able to see and try numerous smart
commands in the aesthetics of Legrand's most widely distributed
global lines. Smart devices are used to manage lighting, curtains
and scenario automation, which can be activated via the traditional
local mode, such as by pushing a button or turning a knob, or
remotely via smartphones and tablets, using simple apps.The public
will find Legrand smart objects at its stand in the "Smart Home"
area dedicated to the ZigBee® Alliance, in the pavilion dedicated
to IoT/Home Automation, the worldwide association of companies that
develop and produce wireless solutions for the Smart Home.
The CES is an international showcase where you can discover both
Legrand's new connected solutions and Legrand's new smart devices,
which, adopting the new ZigBee® 3.0 unified standards, can talk to
similar objects in the home, such as lamps and appliances from
other manufacturers, making full interoperability a reality.
Legrand is member of the AllSeen Alliance, the open-source
consortium aimed at promoting the global adoption of products,
systems and services for the Internet of EveryThings based on a
common technology. Legrand's smart objects that use this language
will be on display at the Qualcomm stand.
« The Internet of Things is an increasingly
important theme these days. It is important for us to be a part of
this world as it represents one of the great lines of development
of the smart house », said Fabrizio Fabrizi, Director of Innovation
and Systems of the Legrand Group. « We have decided
to present our solutions at the CES, the world's most important
event dedicated to consumer electronics, to reaffirm once again our
role as a global reference point in residential
solutions. »
