The thermostatic head enables efficient control over the heater in the selected room. Equipped with artificial intelligence, it learns the users’ lifestyle to optimise comfort and energy savings day after day. The offer is complemented by services provided by the integrated sensors: an air quality sensor informs and advises users in real time, and presence sensors enable users to select from a wide range of services such as intrusion detection.
Eïsox, a FrenchTech (01) start-up and ambassador for the city of connected objects (02), has participated in entrepreneurial challenges throughout the world ever since it created its first prototypes.
In fact, in 2015, Eïsox received second place worldwide at the Organisations IPSO Challenge (Customised Intervention for Solutions in Organisations), sponsored by Google; a few months later, the Eïsox heater was one of the winners of the “25 IoT Heroes 2016” at the IOT/M2M Innovation World Cup 2015/16.
In October 2018, Eisox finished its first fundraiser and moved on to the industrialisation phase after having rolled out several pilot sites, including four with Poste Immo (03).
Within the framework of its innovation policy, Poste Immo experiments innovative solutions to accomplish and improve the services it offers. For that reason, it supported the development of the Eisox start-up by testing its solution in four postal sites in the towns of Draguignan, La Garde, Le Mans and Angers. This test involves the installation of over 250 connected thermostatic valve heads by the end of 2018. Poste Immo hopes to save significantly on its energy consumption and bring comfort to the building’s residents.
