Nice Showcases Advanced Sun Shading Solutions with elero at Fensterbau Frontale 2026

Nice is presenting its latest innovations in sun shading automation at Fensterbau Frontale 2026 through its premium brand elero, with a dedicated focus on the DACH market.

The world's leading trade fair for windows, doors and façades will take place from from 24 to 27 March 2026 at the Exhibition Centre Nuremberg, Germany, setting the perfect backdrop for unveiling the Group's latest innovations from both entities to an eager audience of industry specialists. Visitors can discover Nice and elero solutions at Hall 4A, Booth 4A-304.

Next-Generation Control: The New elero Son Series

At the heart of the exhibition is the launch of the new elero Son series, a range of mains-powered control solutions designed to simplify installation, enhance usability, and deliver advanced automation capabilities.

The new lineup includes:

• TempoSon-868 Slide – a 15-channel handheld transmitter with display, NFC functionality, and an intuitive slider interface
• AstroSon AC-868 and AstroSon AC – advanced receivers with astronomical time programming with same features as the former AstroTec-868
• DuoSon AC-868 and VarioSon AC – versatile control units for modern sun shading systems

All products in the elero Son series feature NFC technology, enabling fast and intuitive configuration via a dedicated mobile app. Selected models – including TempoSon-868 Slide, AstroSon AC-868 and AstroSon AC – also support astronomical time programming, allowing automated operation based on sunrise and sunset cycles for enhanced comfort and energy efficiency. The AstroSon AC-868 represents the natural evolution of the well-established AstroTel-868. While it maintains advanced automation capabilities, it is designed as a radio receiver rather than a transmitter, reflecting evolving system architectures.

Integrated Systems and Smart Controls on Display

Visitors to the booth will experience the elero Son series integrated within real application scenarios. Products are showcased both within drive-based installations and on dedicated control panels, alongside:

• A wireless sensor panel featuring wind and rain sensors
• A lighting control panel with Combio-868 LI receivers, enabling management of white and RGB LED strips and spotlights

This setup highlights the seamless interaction between automation, environmental sensing, and lighting control.

Advanced Drives for Every Application

An elero-branded range of drive solutions for sun shading systems will be present at the booth:

Solar Innovation

• RolAir-868 DC solar-powered drives, including applications combined with zip screens, offering energy-efficient and flexible installation options

Proven Performance

• The established RolMotion range, known for its exceptionally quiet operation

New Generation Awning Automation

• SunMotion, the latest awning drive, that is about to be launched, featuring:
  • Dynamic speed control
  • Smooth and silent movement
  • EPD (Environmental Product Declaration) certification, supporting sustainable building practices

Venetian Blind Automation 

The booth also features solutions for venetian blinds, including motors equipped with the SMI 3.0 (Standard Motor Interface) bus system. This standardized digital interface ensures cross-manufacturer compatibility and advanced integration within building automation systems—an increasingly important requirement in modern construction projects.

Nice Smart Living Ecosystem Powered By Yubii OS

Completing the offering, Nice presents its smart living ecosystem based on Yubii OS and the Yubii Home and Yubii Home Pro’s gateways.

The system is showcased with a wide range of connected devices, including:

• Cameras
• Environmental sensors
• Video door entry systems
• Smart controllers

This integrated ecosystem demonstrates how sun shading, lighting, security, and comfort can be managed within a single intelligent platform.

A Complete Portfolio for Window Industry Professionals

The presence of both elero and Nice technologies underlines the Group’s ability to combine specialized expertise in sun shading with broader home automation innovation, supporting partners across the DACH region and beyond.

“I am proud to return and lead the continued development of our sun shading business at such an important time for the market. Fensterbau Frontale is a key moment for us to reconnect with our partners in the DACH region and showcase the strength of our sun shading portfolio,” said Enzo Viola, General Manager of elero and Head of the Sun Shading Business Unit at Nice. “Together with our drives, sensors and smart living ecosystem, we are offering a complete and future-ready solution for modern building applications.”
