Philosophy

We believe automation should:

  • Respect Privacy: Your data stays on your devices
  • Be Transparent: Open source means no secrets
  • Work Offline: Internet outages shouldn't stop your automations
  • Be Affordable: Quality automation shouldn't break the bank
  • Last Forever: No planned obsolescence or forced upgrades
