Opening the gate for a family member from your smartphone, answering the video entry system while you’re in another city, adjusting the heating without leaving the sofa. These are everyday actions that reflect a real change in the way we live and interact with our homes, and the figures confirm it.
According to the Internet of Things Observatory of the Politecnico di Milano, in 2025 the smart home market exceeded €1 billion in value for the first time, growing by 11% compared with the previous year. In Italy, moreover, more than six out of ten people (63%) now own at least one smart device in their home.
Against this backdrop, we are also seeing significant growth in the use of our digital applications, confirming that the relationship between technology and people is becoming increasingly close.
How the use of CAME apps is growing
Over the past year, we have recorded significant growth across all our applications dedicated to the connected home.
Our automation app (APP AUTOMATION), which allows users to open, close and monitor gates, doors and garage doors from a smartphone, has grown by 35%. Our video entry app (APP ACCESS), which enables users to answer calls from the video entry system and grant access remotely, has increased by 32%. The fastest-growing application is our climate control app (APP THERMO WIFI), which intelligently manages comfort and energy efficiency, recording growth of 67%.
Exactly this is the most significant figure, reflecting increasing attention towards solutions that combine living comfort with more conscious energy consumption.
Overall, these numbers tell a broader story than the growth of individual functions. Technology is no longer seen as an additional feature, but as an integral part of the everyday management of homes and workplaces.
