The Problem
The smart building industry is broken
Smart home = rented surveillance
Most platforms ship your data to corporations and brick your hardware if you stop paying. Your security system should not have a landlord.
Commercial integrators start at $50K
Traditional building automation is priced for enterprise only. Small businesses, churches, and homeowners are locked out of professional-grade control.
Compliance is getting harder
GDPR, NIS2 and church/government data policies make cloud-tied cameras and sensors a liability. On-premise is no longer optional — it is required.
The Solution
Introducing Wise Home
Wise Home is a single sovereign appliance — built on the ESP32-S3 platform and open-source firmware — that runs your security, environment, energy, water, access control and automation locally on your property.
We design it, we deploy it, we manage it. You own it.
