Smart Living by Nice at ISE 2026: Introducing ELAN OS 9 and Yubii OS Integration

Highlighting the integration of its global technologies to deliver scalable Smart Living experiences, with a strategic rollout for the North American market. On February 3–6, Nice invites you to explore a new way of living at booth 2H300

Barcelona, February 2, 2026 – Nice, a global leader in Smart Living solutions, is showcasing the next evolution of its integrated ecosystem at Integrated Systems Europe (ISE), highlighting how ELAN OS 9 and Yubii OS work together to deliver scalable, installer-driven smart living experiences across global markets with a focused, strategic path forward for North America.

This year marks a pivotal shift: Smart Living becomes the core of Nice’s offering and identity. More than automation, Smart Living is a vision: a way to create seamless, intuitive experiences that adapt to how people live, work, and connect every day. 

At ISE 2026, Nice is demonstrating how its two operating systems — ELAN OS and Yubii OS — interoperate to support different installation environments, customer needs, and levels of system complexity. Together, they reflect Nice’s Smart Living vision of a unified ecosystem. 

“Smart Living is not just about connecting devices — it’s about designing meaningful experiences that evolve with people’s lives. At Nice, we believe technology should simplify the everyday, enrich our spaces, and give us back time for what truly matters. That’s why we’re building an ecosystem that’s intuitive, integrated, and ready to grow with you.” Davide Bignù, Group Chief Marketing Officer, Nice. 

Two Operating Systems. One Ecosystem. One Brand. 

ISE serves as a key moment for Nice to demonstrate how its Smart Living ecosystem scales across regions, installation types, and customer expectations. By showcasing ELAN OS 9 and Yubii OS together, Nice reinforces its commitment to a modular, interoperable architecture that allows integrators to design systems that allow growth as needs change rather than locking customers into a single path.

In European markets, Yubii Home, part of the Yubii OS platform, is already established as a standalone smart home controller, supporting a wide range of Z-Wave and Nice-branded devices for lighting, climate, access, and sun-shading. Designed for retrofit-friendly installations and modular expansion, it enables wireless control across thousands of compatible devices and plays a central role in Nice’s broader Smart Living ecosystem globally.

That proven foundation is now shaping how Nice introduces Yubii Home to North America — not as a one-size-fits-all controller, but as a strategic extension of its premium Smart Living experience. 

With Yubii Home as a dedicated controller, the system can benefit from native support for Z-Wave protocol, seamless integration of battery-powered devices, smart modules, and Nice automation solutions - including shading, gate, and door control - directly within the Nice ecosystem. The initial focus will be on motorized shading’s integration, offering a streamlined, bridge-free experience with enhanced responsiveness and design consistency. 

Through this integration: 

• ELAN OS communicates over the network to Yubii OS
• Yubii Home manages Z-Wave and proprietary Nice protocols
• Commands are delivered wirelessly with improved robustness and device capacity

This architecture replaces legacy bridge-based approaches and enables Yubii Home to act as a dedicated gateway within ELAN OS-controlled systems. Because Yubii OS is native to Nice, designed to work seamlessly with Nice motors, gateways, and control logic, it delivers a level of integration that is difficult to replicate with third-party solutions.

“For the North American market, this integration is about solving real-world installer challenges,” said Jeff Shaw, Chief Product Officer at Nice North America. “By integrating ELAN OS 9 with Yubii Home as a dedicated gateway for wireless devices and shading, we’re giving dealers a more robust, scalable architecture, one that simplifies installation, improves reliability, and creates a clear path for system growth without forcing them to start over.”

Reducing Complexity, Increasing Confidence

For professional integrators, this comprehensive Smart Living ecosystem is designed to reduce friction across the entire project lifecycle — from system design and installation to long-term support. By offloading wireless communication to a purpose-built gateway, installers can support a greater number of devices, extend system range, and reduce troubleshooting related to battery-powered endpoints.

The result is a cleaner system architecture, fewer service calls, and greater confidence as projects scale, particularly in homes with extensive shading, larger footprints, or mixed wireless environments.

Flexible Paths for End Users 

Yubii Home’s architecture also enables flexibility for homeowners. It can be deployed as:

• A standalone controller for Nice motorized shades with app-based control
• A gateway integrated with ELAN OS, expanding system scale without starting from scratch
• A foundation that allows customers  to begin with shading and elevate to a more premium Smart Living experience  later as needs evolve

This flexibility opens new opportunities for dealers to serve customers who may not initially invest in full custom integration, while preserving a clear upgrade path within the Nice ecosystem.

A Differentiated Approach to Smart Living

Unlike traditional control systems that rely on a single controller to manage every device type, Nice’s dual-OS approach allows each component to do what it does best. The ecosystem combines a premium, deeply customizable control experience, with a scalable wireless backbone, creating an architecture that is both powerful and adaptable.

This opens the ecosystem beyond a single system definition, allowing integrators to expand functionality, device count, and system scope without compromising performance or user experience.

Global Innovation at ISE, Tailored for the North American Market

At ISE, Nice is demonstrating its full Smart Living ecosystem — including ELAN OS 9, Yubii OS, sun-shading solutions, AV distribution, and security — reflecting the company’s global vision for integrated living.

In the United States, Nice premium Smart Living solutions powered by ELAN OS are available today through authorized Nice dealers and the Nice Store. Yubii Home’s initial North American introduction will begin in a limited, shading-focused configuration, with broader functionality and distribution plans to be announced.

Together, ELAN OS and Yubii OS represent a forward-looking approach to smart living — one designed around flexibility, scalability, and the realities of professional installation.
