Your home's data should stay home
Occupancy, sleep and wake times, when you're home, when you're away, which rooms you use — a smart home knows the most intimate rhythm of your life. In most products, that stream flows to a vendor's cloud, where it's stored, analysed, and outside your control. And when that cloud has an outage or the company changes direction, your lights stop responding.
Two problems, one root cause
The privacy problem and the reliability problem come from the same decision: putting the brain of your home on someone else's servers. Move the brain back into the house and both improve at once.
- Privacy: your home's data never has to leave the building.
- Reliability: the house keeps thinking and acting even when the internet is down — exactly when you most need lights, locks and safety to work.
What "local-first" means for us
The system runs on hardware in your home, with a local language model doing the reasoning. It's built on open standards — Home Assistant and open protocols — so no single vendor's cloud can switch your house off or hold your devices hostage. Access is gated behind per-resident logins over an encrypted connection, never left open on the public internet.
It's your hardware, your home, your rules. Every autonomous action is logged with its reasoning, so the house is not just private — it's accountable to you.
Isolation where it matters
For homes with rental units, the data stays separated by design: rental sensors are isolated from the main house, enforced by an access-control layer — not just a setting someone can forget to toggle.
