Your smart home should work even when the internet doesn't.

InnoSyncHome is a local-first home automation platform designed to keep your devices, scenes, and automations running inside your home.

Designed, tested, and validated in a real home before it reaches customers.

The Problem

When your home depends on the cloud, an outage becomes a failure.

Most smart homes route even a light switch through a data center far away. When the internet drops, an account expires, or a vendor sunsets the product, core functions stop. You never owned the automation — you rented it.

Internet down. Home still running.

  • A pump that only runs when the cloud is reachable isn't dependable.
  • Your daily routines shouldn't be readable by a third-party server.
  • A lapsed subscription shouldn't disable the lights in your home.

The Promise

Offline. Private. Fast. Reliable. Open.

Five things a smart home should be — and what InnoSyncHome is built to deliver.

Offline

Internet down. Home still running.

Devices, scenes, and schedules keep working with no cloud round-trip.

Private

Your home data stays home.

Device state and automation logic stay on your hardware — the cloud is optional.

Fast

Instant local response.

Automations fire in milliseconds, not seconds spent waiting on a remote server.

Reliable

Built for unreliable internet.

Core functions are designed to keep running through outages and reboots.

Open

No vendor lock-in.

Your hardware, your rules. We intend to open the source at beta.

How It Works

Your home makes its own decisions.

No cloud round-trip to switch a light. Here's the whole path, start to finish.

Step 1

You act

Tap in the app or on the hub's touch screen — or let a schedule fire on its own.

Step 2

The gateway decides

Your rules are evaluated right on the gateway in your home. No request leaves your network.

Step 3

Devices respond

Nodes switch in milliseconds over a local radio link — with or without internet.

Why It's Different

Two ways to build a smart home.

A fair comparison of architectural approaches — not a claim about any specific product.

Cloud-dependent approach
InnoSyncHome
Core control without internet
May be limited or unavailable
Works offline by design
Where automations run
Often in the cloud
On your local gateway
Home data path
May traverse external servers
Stays on your network
Cloud dependency
Often required for core features
Optional — opt-in only
Platform extensibility
Varies by vendor
Open, no vendor lock-in

Real Hardware

Orchestration engine, local event bus, and a layered config hierarchy with persisted boot/reset history.

Shipped
Communication Protocol

ESP-NOW transport, discovery beacon, and a live node registry with monotonic-counter replay protection.

Shipped
Engineering Specification

Hardware pin maps, message contracts, and module boundaries specified and reconciled against real silicon.

Shipped
Gateway Firmware

ESP32-S3 firmware at v1.0.0. On-device LVGL touch UI and the Add / Ignore enrollment gate are in progress.

In Progress
Android Hub

BLE provisioning over a NimBLE GATT server, live control, and a mirror of the node registry.

In Progress
Home Deployment & Validation

Running in a real test home to surface field failures — brown-outs, RF range, and long-run stability.

In Progress
OTA Delivery

Signed firmware channels with staged rollout and automatic rollback for a deployed fleet.

Planned
Production Hardware

Design-for-manufacture, enclosures, and pilot runs once the reference designs are validated.

Planned

Status reflects real module completion — no vanity percentages, no fabricated uptime.
