It operates fully locally without cloud dependency and integrates with Home Assistant, Apple Home, Alexa, Google, SmartThings, and IFTTT via HTTP API. The device stores remote configs, macros, and virtual layouts on-device. Hardware and software are planned to be open-sourced after the crowdfunding campaign. It launches on Kickstarter at $149 for a single unit — significantly more expensive than comparable IR hubs like the BroadLink RM mini 3, with the premium attributed to NFC, QR access, audio input, and a polished app. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
