HEARTH / BY PP VENTURES

OWN-ROOM PROTOTYPE · IN DEVELOPMENT

Hearth.

A local mind for
the place you call home.

Lighting. Compatible sensors. Understandable routines.
Local-first development, starting in our own room.

01 / EVIDENCE, NOT PROMISES

Real screens.
Early work.

Start with what exists. The Hearth app prototype explores rooms, routines and activity with sample data. The hardware starting point is our own room; safety functions and whole-home commissioning are not established.

BUILT AT HOME, FIRST.

Hearth starts with a prototype in our own room. These app screens use sample data; they do not establish a commissioned whole-home system or customer installation portfolio. Explore the hardware plan and current development stage.

HEARTH / THE IDEA

A home that responds.
With you in control.

Early prototype. This scene illustrates the intended system; whole-home operation and safety remain unproven.

HEARTH · IN DEVELOPMENT

A connected home, built around you.

A person, a room, a connected homeA resident stands in a furnished room. A wall sensor connects to a local hub; a hand presses the wall switch to turn on the room light; the local hub also connects to the light, with a check mark showing its confirmed state. The wider house reveals other rooms connected to that same hub. This illustrates intended sensing, control and automation, not installed or verified hardware. Room sensorWall switchLocal hubLight

02 / THE SYSTEM, CONSIDERED

One home.
One local mind.

The intended system separates room sensing, switchboard control and the property hub. The app makes their state and routines understandable. Custom hardware is still being developed.

01 / SENSEHARDWARE PLAN

Read the room.

A separate room sensor board is planned to inform routines. Coverage and placement—including the above-bed concept—need validation.

ROOM SENSING / UNDER DEVELOPMENT
02 / CONTROLHARDWARE PLAN

Keep control close.

Relay hardware and a touch panel are planned at the switchboard. Manual fallback, wiring and electrical review remain essential checks.

SWITCHBOARD / UNDER DEVELOPMENT
03 / COORDINATELOCAL-FIRST DESIGN

A mind for your home.

A hub per property is intended to coordinate configured local routines. Power, compatible devices and the local network still matter.

PROPERTY HUB / INTENDED ARCHITECTURE

Concept illustrations, not finished hardware. Current work is an own-room prototype. Pump stop safeguards need further work and testing; no tested flood-protection claim is made.

03 / THE REASON TO BUILD

Less to manage.
More room
to live.

The ambition is simple: useful routines that fit around everyday life, with controls you can understand and adjust.

04 / MAKE THE IDEA TANGIBLE

A routine.
A reason.

A home should be understandable. Try a simulated routine, change the conditions and inspect the difference between a request and reported feedback.

Illustrative scenarios. Available actions depend on your installed devices and configuration.

19:30THE EVENING WIND-DOWN

Welcome back
to your own pace.

The day slows down. Your home follows, with warmer lighting and a scene that feels right for the evening.

EXAMPLE ROUTINE · NOT LIVE HOME DATA

TRY THE IDEA

A small home.
A few thoughtful decisions.

Tap a room to simulate someone arriving or leaving. Watch the lighting respond—and see why.

ILLUSTRATIVE FLOOR PLAN1 light on
Local hub Power & local network available in this example

Interactive simulation only. This does not read or control any real home or device.

Local rules ready. Remote features available.

INTENT ≠ CONFIRMATION

Requested: living-room light 35%. Reported: 35%. Verified in this simulation.

Verification needs device feedback. This is simulated feedback, not proof of real-world safety or reliability.

Why the home responded

  1. 01

    Evening example loaded. Occupied rooms get soft light when daylight is low.

05 / BUILD WITH CARE

A real starting point.
A considered next step.

The Hearth development story
01

Our own room, first.

The current prototype is the starting point. App screens use sample data; they are not a commissioned multi-floor system or customer portfolio.

CURRENT WORK
02

Hardware. Then validation.

Develop the room and switchboard modules. Check coverage, compatible devices, manual fallback and electrical responsibilities before making wider claims.

UNDER DEVELOPMENT
03

Your property, on its terms.

A potential project needs its own rooms, wiring, network, routines and installation scope reviewed. Availability is confirmed individually.
