In the SmartLivingNEXT project DuITeasy, smart technology in apartments and residential properties is networked in a meaningful way – not just individual devices, but an entire digital ecosystem. The aim is for sensors such as smart door openers, heating controls, ordering systems and delivery services to no longer function in isolation, but to work together intelligently to make living and working easier, more efficient and safer
Following the successful integration of the first private apartments, a further milestone has now been reached. The project partners, GIU – Gesellschaft für Innovation und Unternehmensförderung mbH in Saarbrücken and the subcontractor DudoPark GmbH & Co. KG, have equipped commercial apartments and offices with the necessary technology for the first time. These now serve as a further test environment for the system. This will allow the development of new services to be driven forward under real conditions.
What exactly is the project about?
Many smart devices currently function on their own. The aim of DuITeasy is for various digital helpers to exchange information and thus enable new smart services – for example automated heating control, access systems or service connections such as parcel services. These services are to be implemented in three phases. Phase 1 has now been completed with the technical equipment of the commercial properties.
The phases at a glance:
- Technical equipment
Networked sensors and devices are installed in the selected apartments and offices. Existing smart home systems will also be integrated. - Data collection
The installed systems continuously collect data on usage, condition and environment. This data forms the basis for further development. - Model development
The data collected is used to develop intelligent models that enable assistance functions – such as automatic control or notifications.
All systems are connected to the SmartLivingNEXT data room. This guarantees secure and trustworthy data exchange between all components and partners. At the same time, it enables the development of new, interoperable services across system boundaries.

Das Dokument erläutert im ersten Teil (Governance & Organisation) SmartLivingNEXT als föderiertes Datenökosystem und beschreibt die Rollen, Verantwortlichkeiten und Entscheidungslogiken. Der zweite Teil (technische Architektur & Datenraum) beschreibt, wie diese Governance technisch umgesetzt wird. Es entstand unter Mitwirkung von Michael Schidlack, Forschungsvereinigung Elektrotechnik beim ZVEI e.V., Dr. Rahild Neuburger, Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München (LMU) und Fanni Vespermann, Materna Information & Communications SE.
