Construction of the Willamette Tower is underway, and the units will be equipped with smart thermostats, an adaptive lighting system, and integrated connected door locks.

In addition to using its Cornerstone Architectural Intelligence platform to integrate smart technology into projects, Homma claimed that builders can leverage it as a centralised management tool for installed devices and services when the units are occupied.

Homma founder and CEO Takeshi Homma said: “The collaboration between DRI and Homma is a proof-of-concept within the emerging smart-home market that has been challenged with delivering ubiquitous solutions to an exponentially growing ‘do-it-for-me’ segment demanding ease-of-use and simplicity.
