Home automation By-me Plus
By-me Plus: system with built-in home automation system
The By-me Plus home automation system BUS system consists of a range of intercommunicating devices designed to improve the comfort, energy efficiency and security of everyday life, using automatic devices involving all the installed functions, for medium high level systems, complete, integrated, highly customisable and programmable simply with the View Pro App.
The modular design and depth of the range and the segmentation of the wiring series can:
- satisfy functional needs in the residential, small service and hospitality sectors, in both new buildings and renovation works
- be used for updating and expanding systems even later on
- meet the aesthetic needs of the end user
Advantages for the installer
By-me Plus is:
- simple installation: all devices are connected to each other by a cable for Bus systems that supplies the devices with the power and the signals carrying the digital control and monitoring data
- simple configuration: the system is configured using the View Pro App to connect to the home automation gateways via LAN network or Wi-Fi
- simple maintenance: the system can also be accessed remotely via the Vimar Cloud in order to make changes to the configuration, firmware updates, diagnostics on the individual devices and to backup settings on the Cloud
Advantages for the end user
By-me Plus is:
- simple use: after the system has been suitably organised and programmed, it can be used and supervised using a single App, namely Vimar View
- convenient control: via video door entry touch screens, the entire home and its functions can be managed from a single point. What’s more, routines and scenarios can be fully customised to suit individual requirements
- integration and compatibility: the system is compatible with leading voice assistants and integrates seamlessly with other Vimar systems and third-party solutions (e.g., CCTV, burglar alarm systems) for centralised management of all functions

Clean-cut, user-friendly, well-organised widgets to make every action simpler
The widget interface is designed to offer a unique user experience where every action becomes smooth and immediate. Information is organised intuitively and controls are always within reach: an advanced visual environment that blends aesthetics and functionality, transforming system control into a simple and natural activity.
Comprehensive supervision of Vimar systems from a single device: from the View Wireless smart home to By-me Plus home automation, with the integration of Elvox Video Door Entry, By-alarm Plus security and Elvox CCTV video surveillance systems.
System solutions
Remote control via app or voice
Functions integrated into a single system
Use solar PV for self-consumption
Your favourite scenarios with a single touch
Temperature management and energy saving
Reduce consumption to avoid blackouts
Available functions
Lighting control and dimming
Dim the lighting to suit your own personal preferences by managing any type of lamp: LED, energy saving, Philips Hue and DALI/DALI2 with the option of decorating environments with coloured light effects.
Laser-engraved symbols with customisable backlighting on the buttons allow you to identify each function clearly. For instance, a single control can turn off all the lights in the house simultaneously.
Blind and roller shutter automations
It only takes a small gesture to raise or lower roller shutters and blinds of a room or of the entire home and to handle other automatic functions, including the slats or integrating with the weather station and the detected data.
All also within customised scenarios that can easily be recalled using a single control.
Temperature control and comfortable climate control
Home automation solutions for heating, cooling, and air quality control offer precise management in every room through thermostats, flush mounting probes and humidity meters, with centralised management whenever needed.
- Precise control: adjust temperature and modes room-by-room using discreet, user-friendly devices. Set and verify everything from a single point (or via the App)
- Maximum compatibility: suitable for underfloor systems, radiators, fan coils, and split systems
- Waste-free efficiency: optimise power ON/OFF cycles to reduce unnecessary consumption
- Smart alerts: notifications are sent if optimal consumption thresholds are exceeded
- One-touch comfort: pre-set scenarios ensure the ideal climate is always ready
Smart household energy management
By-me Plus enables conscious energy management, optimising consumption without compromise. The system prevents blackouts caused by overloads and smartly distributes photovoltaic energy to maximise self-consumption.
- Universal monitoring: view real-time consumption and your home’s energy profile via the App, even remotely
- Comfortable climate control: seamless climate control for year-round well-being in every season.
- Complete supervision: real-time measurement and viewing of energy consumption
- Smart photovoltaic power: the energy produced is automatically directed to selected appliances, reducing the power draw from the grid and fostering maximum self-consumption
- Overload protection: if the contractual limit is exceeded, the system automatically disconnects lower-priority loads based on pre-set rules to prevent a blackout
Video door entry system integrated with By-me Plus
Via a gateway, the By-me Plus system interfaces with Due Fili Plus or IP video door entry systems.
- IP touch screens as indoor stations: manage both By-me Plus functions and video door entry from a single monitor
- Functions available: answer calls from the entrance panel, intercom, open gates/garages/doors, activate outdoor lights and view cameras
- Remote control: use the View App on your smartphone or tablet to manage calls and open entrances even when away from home
Matching styling
Every room tells a story. With Vimar, this story comes to life through solutions that blend harmony and personality, where technology and design merge to strike the perfect balance. Shapes, materials, finishes and colours come together to create a bespoke aesthetic experience, capable of expressing your identity and elevating any space.
With the Eikon, Linea, Arké and Plana series, Vimar offers completely matching styling, embracing every detail and transforming functionality into a stylistic statement.
Integrations with Vimar and third party systems
Thanks to its modular architecture and ability to integrate with a wide range of devices and technologies, the By-me Plus system offers numerous integration methods to tailor automation to specific user needs. The possible integrations can be divided into categories:
- functional integrations with other Vimar systems, obtained thanks to the use of functional gateways and to the integrated design of the user interfaces (e.g. Due Fili Plus, Elvox IP video door entry, By-alarm/By-alarm Plus burglar alarm and Elvox cameras)
- native KNX integration, owing to the possibility of connecting devices directly to the KNX bus without using gateways, configuring them with ETS and using the KNX datapoints made available by the By-me Plus devices
- integrations with third-party systems, requiring no software development, but only the use of various configuration tools (e.g. Crestron, Philips Hue, Casambi, etc.)
