Standard
When law meets innovation, the home truly becomes smart
In today’s world, where smartphones, connected devices, and technology are integral parts of daily life, the home must also be ready to evolve. It is not just a matter of comfort, but of security, functionality, and value. This very need has driven, in Italy, the evolution of electrical system regulations, designed to make homes more modern, efficient, and ready for new technologies.
The Italian CEI 64-8 standard, introduced in 2011 and updated over the years, marked a turning point: electrical systems must not only be safe but also capable of ensuring minimum performance levels, advanced functionalities, and ease of use. In essence, the home must be designed to accommodate the technology of today and tomorrow.
A smart-ready home
Standard CEI 64-8 introduces three levels of installation, which help define how well a home is prepared for innovation. Level 3 is the most advanced, specifically dedicated to home automation and smart systems, that is, the intelligent control of lighting, climate, security, energy consumption, and much more.
This means that home automation is no longer an ‘extra,’ but a recognized and certifiable solution that can also contribute to increasing the property’s value. A smart home is more modern, more efficient, and more attractive on the market.
The standard recognizes and enhances home automation as an integral part of the electrical system
Today, home automation is synonymous with energy savings and efficiency.
The most recent updates to the regulations strengthen the link between automation and intelligent energy management, recognizing home automation as an active tool for energy saving, rather than just “comfort”.
Part 8-1 officially introduces the concept of:
- optimize energy consumption
- smart management of lighting and heating
- integrating with photovoltaic systems, energy storage, and electric mobility
In this scenario, home automation becomes the true “brain” of the home: coordinating, controlling, and making everything simpler. Thanks to the regulations, today you can choose smart home solutions like Easydom with the certainty of investing in a modern, secure home that is ready for technological evolution.
A forward-looking regulation, for safer, smarter, and future-ready homes.
