What’s new
What has arrived in ÉCRIN homes, month after month. Each new feature arrives automatically, through updates, in every home at once.
October 2026
ÉCRIN now speaks English
The site is now in English too, with FR | EN at the top of every page, and a page for holiday rentals and one for the Apple TV.
People and their permissionsYour guests, codes included
Add a guest with their dates: their door code on the Nuki lock and their personal Wi-Fi code are created automatically, sent by message in one tap and deactivate themselves when they leave. You are notified when they arrive.
People and their permissionsAlexa, one home at a time
Do you have several homes? When you link Alexa, you choose the home it controls: one per Amazon account, without mixing up the devices of the villa and the flat.
The assistant and voiceECRIN HOME talks to Alexa
The ECRIN HOME skill is available in the Alexa app: lighting, shutters, air conditioning and your scenes by voice, on your Echo speakers, with the Assistant option. These requests do not count towards the 20 voice commands a day.
The assistant and voiceECRIN HOME is on the App Store
The ECRIN HOME app is available on the App Store, for iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch and Apple TV.
Screens around the homeThe front door battery warns you
When your lock’s battery drops below 30%, your phone tells you and the Home screen shows it in orange; below 15%, everything turns red. Reminders continue until it is recharged, and everything then clears itself.
AccessThe TV, the turntable or music
Choose what a Sonos speaker plays: music, the TV sound or the turntable. The living-room turntable can also be heard in other rooms, and a TV that is switched on shows up automatically.
ComfortThe front door as a widget
Your front door unlocks and locks from an iPhone widget, the Apple Watch or Siri, and the watch tells you what the door has done.
Screens around the homeThe TV seen when it is on, every device recognised
The Écrin knows whether the TV is on, even when it was switched on with its own remote, and recognises each device on the network by its hardware address: never a command sent to the wrong device.
ComfortDetections kept, up to 100 GB
Each detection keeps all its photos and its short clip. When space runs short, the oldest is deleted first.
SecurityThe alert opens the clip
Tapping a camera alert opens the detection clip, played from the site’s recorder.
SecurityPlayback from the recorder
The Playback card goes as far back as the site’s Dahua recorder keeps the footage.
SecurityThe notification opens the right screen
A rain sensor to check opens the technical log; a rule held back opens the rule.
Everyday controlRain, as you choose
The ‘it’s raining’ information comes from the station or from online weather, and a sensor that gets it wrong is flagged.
WeatherA rule that will not run, flagged
A rule held back three times in a row by the same condition is flagged to you, with the current value.
Everyday controlA backup every night, with nothing to set up
Every Écrin backs up the home every night, encrypted, from the moment it leaves the workshop.
Cloud, updates and backupDeleting your account from the app
Your account can be deleted in a few steps, from the app.
Cloud, updates and backupThe Écrin proven by its key
Each Écrin proves its identity with its own key, and the registry instructions it receives are signed.
Cloud, updates and backupThe Studio, reorganised
The installer’s tool keeps each setting in a single place, in nine sections.
For the installer: Écrin StudioProtected devices
A protected light escapes ‘switch everything off’, but a rule that names it still controls it.
Everyday controlRental homes
Stays to the minute, concierge services, devices withheld one by one, and Wi-Fi that can require the app.
People and their permissionsPeople prepared by the installer
Your installer prepares the people and profiles from their tool, and you are notified of every person added or removed.
For the installer: Écrin StudioWatering zone by zone
A timed device runs for a set time, the zones follow one another, and a programme can be stopped with one tap.
Everyday controlHome statuses
Home, Away, Holiday, Night and statuses of your own, on the Home screen, and rules that take them into account.
Everyday controlThe two-step rule
Switch on at one time and off at another in the same rule, even if the Écrin restarts in between.

Before 10 September 2026
Before 10 September 2026, ÉCRIN laid its foundations. In July: rooms in photos and the KNX bus in real time, energy, water and gas as curves, live cameras, the video intercom, Enphase inverters, the home’s first rules, remote access through an encrypted tunnel and automatic updates. In August and early September: the site alarm inside the Écrin, Nuki locks, the wall screen, the scene editor, and the rule that will never change: a detection always comes from the camera itself.
