"Our claim is relatively simple to formulate. We want the digital journey that the end customer undertakes when exploring Smarthome to end at Rademacher, and he decides in favor of our Smarthome system. Regardless of whether he is still in the information phase or has already had contact with other Smarthome products. It applies to install our specialized partners with these expirations, in order to be successful together , explains Kern core in addition.

Systems from Cherubini have become the brains of game changer homes like Sunthalpy, the first solar home that works in the Atlantic climate. Sunthalpy has developed and patented technology that has allowed us to create the first 100% solar/off-grid building in the Atlantic climate that meets all the needs of a family of four (including an electric vehicle and a heated outdoor pool). This solved the technical limitations to achieve 100% solar-autonomous buildings with no CO2 emissions. The project will be presented digitally during the Smart Home Forum at R+T by José Miguel Rubio Varas, from DaVinci Domotics as Cherubini's partner for smart home projects.

As co-founder and head of engineering and digital home integration at DaVinci Domotics, José Miguel Rubio Varas works with Cherubini.
