Privacy-first & local
Your home runs on your own network. Local processing, no cloud dependency, no data harvesting.
Open source
The firmware and integrations are public — inspect them, trust them, never get locked in.
Home Assistant native
Everything auto-discovers in Home Assistant over MQTT — no fragile YAML wrangling.
Custom built
Pre-made where it fits, custom-developed where it doesn't. We build to your home, not the other way around.
Local + global
Hands-on installs across South Florida, plus virtual setup and custom development anywhere.
We keep it running
Ongoing maintenance, OTA updates and support — your automation keeps working.
