Your guests arrive at 11 pm. The gate was already waiting.
The last flight has landed, the road is dark, and the villa is still twenty minutes away. When your guests arrive, the gate opens, the driveway lights up, and the house is already at the right temperature.

11 pm, on the road to the villa
The plane landed a little late. The suitcases are in the trunk, the children are asleep in the back, and the GPS counts down the last bends. On the road, your guests have only one question: is anyone expecting us?
You are thousands of miles away. It is late, or very early, depending on your time zone. And yet their stay is about to begin exactly as you imagined it.
A villa that welcomes guests for you
That is the idea behind a connected home: a villa that knows how to receive, even when no one is there.
With Nice’s Yubii world, a single “Arrival” scene is enough. The gate opens, the outdoor lights come on, the alarm switches off and the air conditioning brings the house to the right temperature. One gesture, everything in the right order.
Yubii is Nice’s world, bringing Nice and FIBARO technologies together in one app. Gate, lighting, shutters, air conditioning: everything speaks the same language.
What your guests experience
A gate that never keeps them waiting. Nice’s latest sliding gates open in ten seconds. The car does not linger by the roadside, and the night does not drag on.
An entrance that speaks for itself. A light built into the gate shows its status in color: green when open, red when closed. You know at a glance.
A driveway that guides them. The outdoor lights come on as the gate opens. Palm trees, path, terrace: the villa reveals itself as they move forward.
A home that is already cool. After hours of flying, opening the door onto a house that is already cool is the first moment of the holiday.
A gate that looks out for everyone. Sensors detect any obstacle and stop the gate from closing. The children can run toward the pool; the gate only closes once the way is clear.
What it changes for you
No more calling a neighbor at midnight, hiding a key under a flowerpot, or asking someone to wait by the road. Your guests arrive whenever suits them, with no constraints.
For an owner, it is also a new way to manage stays. You can set access time slots and receive a notification every time the gate opens. The house tells you about the evening, without you having to live it.
To go further, our article on what happens when night falls all at once at 6 pm tells the same story, on the lighting side.
The home in your pocket
The Yubii Home app lets you control the gate from anywhere, see its status and receive real-time alerts. From your sofa in Paris, your office in Montreal or a café in New York, you follow your guests’ arrival as if you were standing on the porch.
Voice works too. The gate is compatible with Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa. “Open the gate,” and it opens.
And for villas where the sun never runs short, Nice offers a solar solution to power gates and garage doors. The daytime sun opens the door at night.
The line that sums it up
You are not there, and yet you are the one welcoming them.
AND HERE AT HOME?
From Anguilla to Antigua, from Sint Maarten to the British Virgin Islands:
- Evening flights. Many travelers arrive at night. Every late arrival becomes a moment of welcome, not a moment of waiting.
- Owners far away. Many owners live far from their villa. With an app, distance no longer matters.
- The sun as energy. Here, the sun shines all year round. A solar-powered gate is only natural in our latitudes.
- Five-star reviews. A perfect arrival is often the first line of an excellent review.
For an installation suited to your island, a certified [ART]IST installer designs the whole system and sets it up with you. And to explore the ecosystem in detail, the official documentation of Nice’s Yubii ecosystem is a good place to start.
The headlights catch the gate, which opens without a sound. The driveway lights up, palm tree after palm tree. At the end, the pool glows under the stars. The children wake up, the parents smile. And you, on the other side of the world, receive a simple notification: “Gate open.” The whole stay is already a success.
