Water and Technology: How the Nice Smart Home Can Help You Reduce Waste

Water is a precious resource, and managing it smartly is not just a responsible choice - it’s also an opportunity to enhance your quality of life. In celebration of World Water Day (March 22), it’s the perfect time to explore how technology can make your home more efficient, secure, and sustainable.

With Nice Smart Home solutions, you can monitor and optimize your water usage using advanced technologies, helping you reduce waste and protect your home from leaks and flooding. Discover how the Nice ecosystem can transform your house into a smarter, more connected, and water-conscious living space.

1. Smart Irrigation for a Greener Garden

Want a lush lawn without unnecessary water waste? Thanks to the compatibility of the Nice ecosystem with smart irrigation systems, you can schedule and manage your watering based on real-time weather conditions. Integrated Domì climate sensors allow you to create customized scenarios that optimize water usage to suit your needs.

For example, you can activate a “Water Saving Mode” that reduces irrigation frequency during rainy periods or automatically shuts off smart faucets when you're away—ensuring optimal water use every day.

Key Features:

• Automated scheduling by day and time
• Dynamic adjustments based on weather forecasts
• Remote control via the Yubii Home App

Did you know?

According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), around 15% of household energy use is tied to water management (heating, pumping, and treatment). Smart irrigation and water-saving technology can significantly reduce this consumption (*). The World Economic Forum reports that smart homes with automated water monitoring can cut water consumption by up to 30% (**).

2. Flood Sensors: Active Protection for Your Home

Water leaks are often underestimated—but they can cause major damage and waste. The Nice flood sensor instantly detects water in unintended areas and sends real-time alerts. When connected to a smart shut-off valve, it can automatically stop water flow, helping to prevent both flooding and excessive consumption.

Why it matters:

• 24/7 protection with real-time alerts
• Automatic valve shut-off in emergencies
• Seamless integration with other smart home devices

Did you know?

In Italy, 42.4% of water in the public supply network is lost before reaching homes. Preventing leaks inside your home is a critical step toward more responsible water usage (***).

3. Smart Monitoring for More Efficient Water Use

Monitoring the energy consumption of devices like water pumps and heaters can help you identify water waste and improve your home’s efficiency. With Nice energy and climate sensors, you can track usage in real time and receive customized alerts for unusual activity or excessive consumption.

Benefits of smart water consumption monitoring:

• Real-time insights into daily and weekly usage
• Anomaly detection to prevent accidental waste
• Full smart home integration for centralized control

Did you know?

According to the European Environment Agency (EEA), smart water monitoring systems can help reduce household water consumption by up to 25% (****).

4. A Sustainable Future with Nice Smart Home Technology

Security, efficiency, and sustainability are at the heart of the Nice Smart Home. Integrating intelligent solutions into your home is not only about comfort—it’s a concrete step toward building a greener future.

The Nice ecosystem is scalable and modular, designed to grow and evolve with your lifestyle. While Nice does not directly manage water consumption, its ecosystem supports over 3,000 third-party smart devices, enabling advanced water monitoring and optimization in your home.
