“By making partnerships and joint developments possible, the Works with Legrand portal paves the way for new services, products and solutions integrating innovative functionality for maximum benefit to the user.”

Openness and interoperability
Because it is an essential condition for the development of connected objects, Legrand has adopted an open and interoperable approach. In this way, the Group has led several initiatives to offer solutions that are interoperable with the various IoT protocols on the market and to establish standards in this area. Alliances, third-party services and partnerships: the challenge is to promote open languages in order to be able to integrate third-party systems and exchange data, with the aim of offering users access to a broad ecosystem and delivering additional benefits to the user.

Strategic Partnerships
Works with Legrand is already supporting several technological and strategic partnerships. Very diverse, the common bond of these partnerships is the desire to put users at the heart of smart homes and smart buildings, and to encourage the emergence of new services. These partners include start-ups, large groups, manufacturers and service providers. Works with Legrand is also aimed at opinion leaders, project managers and other decision-makers (project owners, distributors, etc.) seeking inspiration for the development of new experiences.
Increasing the integration of voice assistance: the example of AlexaTM
Legrand is a long-standing partner of AmazonTM to imagine new services involving voice assistance. As early as 2019, the Group introduced a first connected switch integrating the AlexaTM voice assistant to the market. The two companies are also working together to develop new functionality based on speech recognition.
Voice assistants
Controlling your installation by voice is now possible with all the voice assistants on the market.

Generating third-party services
Avec Eliot, Legrand permet à des tiers de se connecter à ses solutions pour offrir de nouveaux services et fonctionnalités, et ainsi créer de la valeur ajoutée pour l’utilisateur final.
HOSPITALITY
With Roomchecking, respond to the needs of hotel managers
Roomchecking is a communication and productivity solution for hotel teams. The platform that brings together housekeeping, maintenance and communication is built on state of the art mobile apps. When connected to Legrand's UX Touch, the Roomchecking solution provides hotel teams with useful information on the life of the hotel (temperature, lighting, etc.).
INSURANCE
With the HCS platform, a connected and secure home
Buy a mechanical breakdown warranty after a breakdown on the motorway; connect your car to the application to automatically deactivate the alarm in your home on arrival, trigger the sending of a plumber to your home after a water leak ... these will be all possible scenarios and services that will soon be available offered by the Maia platform, developed by the IMA Group, a benchmark player in assistance and services, and its subsidiary IMA PROTECT. Thanks to the IMA PROTECT-Legrand Partnership, MAIA will be able to collect data from connected objects in housing and refine / personalize its service, after, of course, the user's agreement. The plus of this service? A single point of entry for managing your home on a daily basis and being able to meet multiple needs, all related to insurance and assistance, but the solutions of which are rarely in the same place. The service should be made available to the main shareholders and distributors of the IMA Group.
Alliances to promote interoperability
Porté par la dynamique Eliot, Legrand multiplie les alliances stratégiques autour de l’interopérabilité. L’enjeu est de s’associer pour parler un langage commun, de manière à ce que les objets connectés puissent communiquer entre eux. Ces alliances se situent aux trois niveaux d’interopérabilité : localement, au niveau des réseaux informatiques et au niveau du cloud.

LEGRAND AND ZIGBEE ALLIANCE
Since February 2020, Bruno Vulcano, R&D Manager at Legrand, has been Chairman of the Board of the Zigbee Alliance. Chosen by the biggest companies, Zigbee is the protocol that makes it possible to provide the most interoperable of all wireless meshed networks.
Legrand, a partner of Connected Home over IP, the latest smart home protocol from Amazon, Apple, and Google
Connected Home over IP (CHIP) is a working group that was set up in late 2019 at the initiative of Apple, Amazon, Google, and the Zigbee Alliance in order to develop a new open communication protocol for use in the connected home, intended to facilitate the development of new connected objectsconnected objects compatible with the voice services provided by the three Internet giants.
Legrand is a partner of this new protocol, alongside the world's largest operators.
Data security and privacy
Security and confidentiality of personal data are an essential feature of the Eliot program. In accordance with the Group's DNA, Legrand guarantees users an ever more reliable and secure experience while ensuring the confidentiality of personal data. The Group maintains an optimum level of security that prevents any fraudulent use of the data entrusted to it.
“Security by design” solutions
Convinced of the need for an increasingly stringent level of security, Legrand goes further than simply complying with current security standards by directly incorporating these security rules into the design of solutions: this is “Security by design”. These rules enable data to be segmented from the product’s very inception, thereby preventing, for example, the synchronization of usage data with the user’s address details.
“Privacy by design” solutions
Because the protection of privacy is a priority, Legrand conducts PIAs (Privacy Impact Assessments), in order to incorporate respect for users’ privacy, from the design stage, for connected products. In parallel, security audits and intrusion tests are also performed by leading cyber-security companies. They are conducted in the form of hacking simulations by different service providers, throughout a product’s development and life.
Our partners are equally committed
Legrand demands the same level of commitment from its partners in terms of security and certification, and works with trusted third parties. All of these elements are guaranteed by strict governance and by precise product development and inspection processes.
“ISO 27001 certification for the entire Legrand Cloud provides users with additional security guarantees.”
