From superyacht to private residence, the same engineering standard.

YachtCloud’s products were developed in one of the most demanding installation environments in the world: the superyacht. Every product decision was shaped by the requirement to perform flawlessly in a high-expectation, low-tolerance environment. That same engineering discipline now applies to luxury residential installations.

For residential AV/IT integrators, this matters. The clients commissioning these properties expect the same level of quality, reliability, and finish they have experienced on their vessels. YachtCloud products deliver exactly that, and they are designed to integrate cleanly with the control system architectures residential integrators already use.

GEST | Luxury Service Call System

GEST is a wireless luxury service call system that provides discreet, instant communication between guests, owners, and staff. It operates over the property’s Wi-Fi network, no base stations, no proprietary wiring infrastructure. For residential integrators, GEST specifies cleanly into any existing or proposed network architecture without requiring changes to the control system design.

OMNIYON consolidates media distribution, entertainment control, and comfort system management into a single interface — configured specifically to the property’s zones and preferences. For residential integrators, OMNIYON reduces the number of independent control layers across a complex property and provides a single, client-facing interface that requires no technical knowledge to operate.

Residential integration notes

GEST integrates natively with Crestron and is compatible with any API-based control environment. In residential contexts, GEST events can be surfaced through existing home automation platforms via the REST API, enabling service call requests to be visible within a unified control interface alongside lighting, climate, and security.

For projects specifying GEST alongside OMNIYON, a single notification layer can be configured to surface GEST events within the OMNIYON interface, reducing the number of independent applications staff are required to monitor.

OMNIYON | AV & Comfort Control System

ParameterDetail
Control interfaceTouch panel, tablet, AVA Cinema remote and mobile app. Configurable per zone and user profile.
Media distributionMulti-zone AV distribution. Supports personal media library and broadcast sources simultaneously.
IntegrationOpen API for third-party control system integration. Compatible with existing AV infrastructure.
User profilesOwner, guest, and staff profiles with configurable access levels per zone.
InstallationRack-mount server unit. Network-based distribution — no proprietary cabling.
ContentPersonal media library alongside live TV, streaming, and broadcast sources in one interface.

Residential integration notes

OMNIYON is designed to work alongside existing residential AV infrastructure rather than requiring full replacement. For properties with existing distribution architecture, OMNIYON can be integrated as the control and user interface layer without disrupting the underlying hardware. For new builds or full refits, OMNIYON can be specified as the primary AV platform from the outset.

ECHO | Network & Device Access Management

ECHO is YachtCloud’s network and device management platform, purpose-built for high-demand environments where network reliability, device visibility, and security must operate simultaneously at the highest level. For large residential properties with complex AV/IT architectures, ECHO provides the management layer that keeps every connected system visible and controllable from a single interface.

“After testing pretty much every system available, I’ve found OMNIYON certainly the easiest to use. The ability to combine personal content with recognised TV shows and movies is something most other systems struggle to offer, while the YachtCloud team are a pleasure to work with. I look forward to continuing our relationship for years to come.”

“We have seen a significant increase in our productivity since using LaundryBoard, saving one hour per day on average during charter. The entire laundry management and handover across shifts are seamless. LaundryBoard is an essential onboard tool for an accountable yacht interior and we are delighted with it.”

“OMNIYON comes with a simple, smooth and ready-to-go User Interface that was missing in our market. The smart software behind this takes care of all control and entertainment, and it integrates nicely with existing control system gear. The merging of Live TV & Control is amazing. Everybody can do, saves us lots of time and the client is very happy.”

GEST has been a great addition to our operation. The system allows guests to request service, drinks, or anything they need through dedicated buttons, while also giving them complete privacy when they prefer not to be disturbed. It creates a smooth, intuitive experience and adds a very professional touch on board.

Great system – set up in minutes, loved by owners, guests, and crew! Highly recommend for streamlining guest operations onboard.

“The innovative product range from the likes of OMNIYON, GEST and SYMETRIC make the industry’s norm look incredibly dated and dull. YachtCloud is excellent at taking a current solution, redesigning that solution to be intuitive and feature-rich. We are proud to be partners alongside the revolution that’s happening at Yachtcloud.”

Frequently Asked Questions

Does GEST integrate with existing home automation platforms?

Yes. GEST exposes a REST API covering all core functions: button events, crew and staff responses, room assignments, and status updates. This enables integration with any third-party home automation platform or control system. For Crestron environments specifically, a native Crestron driver is available providing bidirectional control. Full API and integration documentation is available to registered dealers.

Can OMNIYON be added to a property with existing AV infrastructure?

Yes. OMNIYON is designed to work alongside existing residential AV infrastructure. For properties with an existing distribution architecture, OMNIYON can be deployed as the control and user interface layer without requiring a full hardware replacement. For new builds or full refits, OMNIYON can be specified as the primary AV platform from the outset. The YachtCloud technical team works directly with the integrator during the specification phase to confirm the integration approach.

Is the YachtCloud dealer programme open to residential-only integrators?

Yes. The YachtCloud Dealer Programme is open globally to any qualified integrator — there is no requirement to operate in the superyacht sector. Residential AV/IT integrators receive the same programme benefits as YachtCloud’s superyacht dealer network, including full technical training, marketing materials, demo support, and access to the complete technical documentation library.

What training is provided for residential installations?

YachtCloud provides full product training covering installation, configuration, system integration, and ongoing support for every product in the suite. Training is available in person at YachtCloud’s facility in Rotterdam and remotely.

How does ECHO handle a property with multiple network zones?

ECHO is designed for multi-zone network environments and supports separate SSIDs and access levels for guest, staff, and property systems across as many zones as the property requires. Each zone is configured independently via the browser-based ECHO administration interface. Device visibility covers all zones simultaneously, the property manager or integrator has a single view of every connected device across the entire property.
