Russian Smart Home Learns to Adapt to Owner’s Temperament

A new app from Russian developers tailors indoor climate to match a homeowner’s personality type, boosting comfort, productivity, and well-being.

Russian tech firm Atmosfera Produktivnosti has developed a smart home application that adjusts a room’s microclimate to suit the user’s psychological profile. According to the press service of the National Technology Initiative (NTI), the algorithm identifies whether the resident is a sanguine, choleric, phlegmatic, or melancholic type.

The system was tested on 2,000 people. Each participant completed a psychological questionnaire to determine their personality traits, then shared their impressions of how the adjusted environment affected them.

Drawing on this data, the system optimizes lighting, humidity, noise levels, and even scents. It also considers age, burnout level, and other personal factors.

For example, for choleric individuals, the system sets bright lighting, a temperature of 20–22°C, and 50% humidity to aid concentration. Sanguine users, on the other hand, receive diffused warm lighting, air heated to 24°C, and higher humidity (50–60%). For them, the app recommends pastel tones, calm music, and relaxing aromas like sandalwood, lavender, or jasmine.

Survey results showed that for 87% of participants, the system’s readings on stress and productivity matched their personal impressions. Personalization increased work performance by 20% and reduced stress levels by 25%.

After three weeks of use, 75% reported less fatigue, 60% better sleep, 72% greater comfort, and 55% higher job satisfaction.
