Netatmo is a French company which manufactures smart home devices. Founded in 2011, it has launched a variety of products including various security cameras, personal weather stations, and an internet-connected smoke detector.

The company was bought in November 2018 by the French group Legrand.[1]

History[edit]

The company Netatmo was created in 2011 by Fred Potter, an engineer and entrepreneur, and Jean-Pierre Dumolard.[2]

In 2012, Netatmo launched its first product: the Smart Home Weather Station.[3] In the same year, the company raised 4.5 million Euros in funds to speed up its distribution and widen its platform and product range.[4]

In November 2015, the company raised 30 million Euros in funds and sold a stake to the Legrand group.[5]

In 2016, French president François Hollande visited Netatmo's offices.[6]

In 2018, during the Consumer Electronics Show, Netatmo announced a partnership with the Muller group[7] and introduced its Smart Home Bot to control its Netatmo products.[8] The company increased its number of partnerships with large groups like Legrand and VELUX,[9] and, alongside them, it co-developed smart technologies incorporated into construction infrastructure. The VELUX ACTIVE range; designed to intelligently control indoor climates by automating the operation of windows and window coverings based on parameters such as temperature, humidity, and air quality; was also released on the market in July.[10]

Netatmo was acquired by the Legrand group in November 2018 and merged with Legrand's smart home branch. The Netatmo brand name was kept.[11]

In 2019, Netatmo announced a new partnership with the company Bubendorff, with which it released its iDiamant, a smart solution[buzzword] for Bubendorff roller shutters.[12]

WeatherMap[edit]

The smart home weather stations of users who share their outdoor data are displayed on the WeatherMap, an open-access map that displays temperatures, wind information and levels of rainfall.[23]

In 2018, Norway’s public weather service YR began to use WeatherMap to improve its forecasts for people in Norway, Sweden, Finland and Denmark.[24]

Co-developed products[edit]

Through its ‘with Netatmo’ program, the company partners with construction companies to develop products incorporated into the infrastructure of individual homes, in areas such as new builds or renovation.[25]

In January 2018, Netatmo worked with French company Legrand to co-create and launch various internet-connected switches and sockets through which lighting, roller shutters and electric devices can be remotely controlled from a smartphone or vocally.[26]

In July 2018, Netatmo launched products which allows Velux roof windows, blinds and roller shutters to be operated remotely and automatically.[27]

With the Muller group, Netatmo co-created an electric-radiator connection module designed to regulate smart heating systems room by room.[28]
