La Poste provides interoperability with “Le Hub Numérique”

A partnership focused on interoperability
La Poste is getting in touch with 65 millions French people every day. That’s why the group decided, through is numeric branch Docapost, to launch a program to support innovation called “French IoT”. The objective is to federate several French actors around connected devices by bringing them a platform to test connected devices, develop new use cases or services and experiment business models
The collaboration with Legrand aims to share Legrand APIs (Application Program Interface) with La Poste in order to make compatible our products with “Le Hub Numérique”. Users can get new beneficial usages and gains the liberty to add new devices progressively
Benefits for the users
On user’s side, “Le Hub Numérique” simplifies their everyday life by allowing them to interact with their devices and to benefit from numeric and human services around those objects
Presented as a dashboard, the application is simple to use. User can find a synthesis of important information. At a glance, they can see their real-time energetic consumption, switch on or off the lights, open or close rolling shutters and so on. Also, a news feed allows the user to find a sum up of all events (adding of a device, events triggered, home door opening …)
The main advantage is that only one application is needed in order to manage all connected devices of the house, even if they come from another manufacturer. Users can, thanks to it, choose the way they want their house to evolve and control their budget

Discover how “Le Hub Numérique” works
This video explains the possibilities given by the application
A family downloads the application “Le Hub Numérique” of La Poste. Thanks to this intuitive and universal interface, they can consult and manage the data of their connected devices and access to custom services. Different use cases are shown: when the soon of the family is going to school, he can be geolocalized and a notification is automatically sent when he comes back home. His mother always loses her keys, so she invests in a connected key ring with a tracker
Later, they program a scenario for the morning awakening. Thanks to the connected plugs Céliane™ with Netatmo, on which the devices are connected, all the family can be waken up simultaneously. If there is important traffic on the road, the application can automatically manage the awakening hour in order not to be late
When the last occupant of the house is leaving, he can activate the “Leaving home” scenario. The entry door locks, thanks to Céliane™ with Netatmo lights switch off and rolling shutters closes, home alarm initiates and the heating decreases thanks to the Smarther. A notification is sent on family’s smartphones telling them that the home is empty and closed
The grandmother of the family is sick and is alone at her home. Thanks to sensors, the family can be warned if there is a problem. Also, they subscribed a service asking the postman to visit the elderly lady every day
This is winter and the family is looking for a solution to decrease the heating bills. They shared with the application their consumption data and they are purposed to subscribe to a less expensive energetic contract by using a manageable connected thermostat: the Smarther
