A $47B Market Gap

HomeNexy fills the gap between basic thermostats and luxury systems—a market with zero wireless multi-zone competitors.

Every Screen, Every Room

Each HomeNexy panel runs a beautiful touchscreen interface built on ESP32 + LVGL. Here's what homeowners interact with daily.

Climate Control — Main Screen

The home screen shows current room temperature in large, color-coded text — orange when heating, cyan when cooling. Tap the mode icons to switch between heat, cool, fan, and auto. Up/Down arrows adjust the target temperature from 60–90°F with instant haptic feedback.

Each room's panel reads its own BME280 temperature sensor, so the "72°F" you see is the actual temperature in that room, not a single number from the hallway.

Smart Lighting — Tap to Control

See all your lights at a glance from any panel. Tap a card to toggle on/off instantly. Long-press opens a dimmer slider for dimmable lights (0–100%). Active lights glow yellow so you always know what's on.

Supports both ZigBee devices connected through the built-in hub and Tuya/Smart Life cloud bulbs — so your existing smart lights work immediately without replacing anything.

Smart Comfort Presets — No Schedules Needed

Forget programming time-based schedules. HomeNexy's LD2410C mmWave presence sensor in every room detects whether someone is there — even if they're sitting still reading a book. The system automatically switches between HOME, AWAY, and SLEEP modes.

Walk into a room? It heats to your comfort temperature. Leave for 30 minutes? Drops to eco mode. Nighttime? Sleep temperature kicks in. Each room operates independently — the bedroom can be in SLEEP while the kitchen stays HOME.

Motorized Zone Dampers — Direct Airflow

Wireless ZigBee damper vents in each room open and close automatically based on temperature needs. When a room hits its target, the damper closes and redirects airflow to rooms that still need it. No wiring required — fully wireless installation.

The safety watchdog monitors every damper with countdown timers. If a damper stays open too long without checking in, the system auto-closes it. Each damper shows remaining runtime and current state right on the touchscreen.

Every Feature, Built In

Not modules you buy separately. Every HomeNexy panel includes all of these capabilities out of the box.

3.5" Color Touchscreen

Beautiful 480×320 LCD with capacitive GT911 touch in every room. LVGL-powered UI with anti-aliased fonts, smooth animations, and instant response. No phone app needed — walk up and tap.

mmWave Presence Sensing

LD2410C radar detects humans even when completely still — reading, sleeping, watching TV. Not motion-based PIR that goes dark when you stop moving. True occupancy detection per room.

Safety Watchdog

The feature that could save your home. If internet drops while a heater runs, HomeNexy's local watchdog auto-shuts it off. Runtime limits, crash recovery, full audit trail. No other system does this.

Motorized Dampers

Wireless ZigBee damper vents direct airflow where it's needed and close where it's not. Temperature-triggered open/close with safety countdown timers and automatic AWAY mode closure.

Supplemental Heat

Connect space heaters, wall heaters, or mini-splits. HomeNexy controls them wirelessly with the same safety watchdog protection. Automatic AUX heat staging for heat pump systems.

Works Offline

All critical functions — HVAC control, safety watchdog, presence detection — run locally on the Raspberry Pi. Internet drops? Your system keeps running. Cloud syncs when connection returns.

Zero-Touch Deployment

Plug a new Pi into a home and it automatically enrolls itself — discovers the network, registers with AWS, pairs with the user's account, and starts controlling HVAC. No manual configuration.

Multi-Tenant Isolation

Every database query, API call, and MQTT topic is scoped to the user's device_id. Complete data isolation between households — true SaaS architecture ready for scale.

VPN Secure Tunneling

WireGuard VPN tunnels secure all device-to-cloud communication. No port forwarding, no exposed services. Each device gets its own encrypted tunnel automatically.
