Sophia Antipolis: M2M Solution launches MYXYTY, an innovative solution for home security

MyAlert enables householders to keep a watch on their homes and belongings as well as operate lights, shutters and heating systems from a distance.

Set-up at the beginning of this year for the smart home systems’ market, MYXYTY constitutes the “general consumer” offer of Sophia Antipolis-based firm M2M Solution, which was founded by Olivier Courtade. This specialist in M2M (machine-to-machine) technology successfully completed a second round of financing last February and raised some €1 million from five business angels to target the consumer market.

As a result, young company MYXYTY (pronounced Mix iti), has just launched its first product, MyAlert, which offers a combination of communicating wireless components and innovative services. In addition to home security, the product also raises the alarm in case of fire and provides a range of smart home services such automated home security systems as well as distance automation systems to control electric lights, shutters and heating systems. The packaged product includes a USB key, wireless intelligent captors and webcams. Users just have to sign-up on the www.myxyty.com website to access their personal domotics account from which they can remotely control their home automation systems. If a security alert or incident occurs at their property, they are contacted automatically in real time by SMS text messaging, email, voice message or they receive a video of the intrusion, which enables them to take decisions immediately.

A pioneer in M2M solutions, Olivier Courtade’s inventions include an electronic collar to help find lost dogs, which has been picked up by veterinary leader Virbac, and a system vehicle security, Cobra, that enables owners to immobilize their stolen vehicles from a distance sold to an Italian car manufacturer.
