Why Nexus
Built different, by design
Every smart home platform on the market depends on a cloud you don't control. We took the opposite approach.
Zero Subscriptions
Pay once for hardware. No monthly Ring, Nest, or SmartThings fees — ever. Your system keeps running long after the payback period.
Total Data Sovereignty
All automation logic, device state, and history lives on your Raspberry Pi 5. No vendor has access to your home's data — ever.
Offline Resilient
Internet outage? Router failure? Your home keeps running. Zigbee mesh communicates device-to-device with no cloud in the loop.
Infinitely Scalable
Start with a single garden valve. Add lighting, climate, and security as you grow. Zigbee mesh extends range through smart bulbs acting as hops.
System Architecture
How it all connects
Every request stays on your local network. No cloud hop, no latency spikes — just fast, private, reliable control.
The "Hop" advantage
Zigbee smart bulbs double as mesh repeaters — each one extends coverage by 10–15 metres. A string of porch lights can carry your garden valve signal across a large property with no Wi-Fi extender required.
Live Digital Twin
Every zone. Always aware.

Zones
All sensor data is processed and stored locally on your Raspberry Pi. No data leaves your home network.

The Real Cost of Cloud
Cloud costs grow. Nexus doesn't.
The average household with a full smart home setup pays over $51/monthin subscriptions. Over 5 years that's $3,060— for data you don't own, on servers you don't control.
Cumulative cost over 5 years
One-time hardware vs. ongoing subscriptions
Nexus breaks even with cloud subscriptions in ~10 months — then saves you money every single month.
