Sense architecture · Open. Local. Resilient.01 / 04

Local by default

Engineered to keep working.

Switches, scenes and safety rules run inside your home—responsive every day, even when the cloud is not.

Connected with purpose

Rooms that work together.

Controls and sensors coordinate quietly across the home, without making the technology the experience.

A dependable backbone

Wire the permanent things.

Ethernet, PoE and professional control buses give lighting, climate, access and entertainment a lasting foundation.

Graceful failure

Designed for the bad day.

If the internet drops, physical controls keep working and essential circuits remain outside automatic isolation.

Matter 1.6

The public application layer for interoperable control across major ecosystems.

Thread

Low-power IP mesh for sensors, scene keys and room endpoints.

Zigbee 4.0

A backward-compatible 2.4 GHz mesh for broad device choice, bridged into Matter.

Ethernet + PoE

Dependable power and data for gateways, central screens, AV bridges, doorbells and cameras.

Wired integration

DALI‑2, 0–10 V, CV, RS‑485, Modbus and dry contact for professional systems.

AV control

Local IP, RS‑232, HDMI‑CEC, 12 V trigger and addressable IR for televisions, projectors, receivers, screens and lifts.

02 — Internet optional

Physical controls and scenes
work without the internet.

Physical switches continue to control their local circuits. The hub executes scenes and safety rules locally. Remote access and updates may use the internet, but daily operation does not depend on it.

Secure boot and signed-update target
Encrypted local credentials and role separation
No default passwords
Visible privacy controls for microphones and cameras

03 — India-ready engineering

Electrical and radio
certification targets for India.

Commercial products will carry only certifications they have earned. Until then, every public specification remains clearly marked as a proposed design target.

Power

220–240 V · 50 Hz

Neutral-wired where required, with local operation and load-specific switching.

Electrical

BIS targets

Applicable IS 1293 socket requirements and IS/IEC 60669 electronic-switch requirements.

Installation

IS 732 · IS 3043 · NEC 2023

Electrical installation and earthing designed and verified by qualified professionals.

Radio

WPC ETA

Equipment Type Approval required before sale or import of applicable radio products.

04 — Essential circuits
