Smart home with Home Assistant: local, open, supported.
1x1-Smart Home brings our proven building blocks together in one system: music and announcements, video recording, heating control, a network overview and our own sensors. We plan, install and support it.
Proven, not experimental
Every building block on this page runs in production in our reference property, around the clock and through every season. We know how it behaves, adapt it to your property and support it long term.
- Runs locally, even without internet
- No mandatory subscription, no cloud lock-in
- Open standards, extendable at any time
- Control via app, browser or wall tablet
- Changes made quickly
- One system for everything
- Heating, lighting, shading, security and multimedia, controlled from one place.
- Scenes and routines
- From an end-of-day switch-off to presence simulation, we program routines that make everyday work easier.
- Vendor-independent
- Home Assistant, Matter, Zigbee and KNX: you are not tied to any manufacturer and can extend at any time.
- Secure when you are away
- Keep an eye on cameras, locks and the alarm system over encrypted connections.
The building blocks of 1x1-Smart Home
Use them individually or as a complete system. They all work together in Home Assistant.
1x1-Audio Deck
One device per room for synchronised music, phone system, intercom and announcements. No streaming or cloud fees. An announcement when the doorbell rings, music when work starts, muted during calls.
To the Audio Deck1x1-DVR
Video recording around the clock, with an additional HD recording whenever a person is detected. The floodlight only comes on when someone is really at the door.
DetailsHeating control
Underfloor heating controlled room by room, boiler integrated. Based on the weather forecast, the slow-reacting screed is preheated before it gets cold outside.
- Valves per heating circuit, return flow monitored
- Setback when a window is open
- Anti-seize protection for valves and pump
- Burner run times and emergency shutdown
- Predictive heating (beta)
Network inventory
Finds every device on the network, shows it with an understandable name and keeps fixed addresses reserved, even when a device is switched off. No more address conflicts.
- Regular automatic scan
- Name devices as you like
- "First seen" history
Sensor nodes
Our own compact ceiling-mounted room sensors plus door and mirror modules. They deliver their readings directly to your smart home, without going through third-party servers.
- Firmware to suit your needs
- Direct, local connection
Secure remote access
Maintenance and help remotely, without opening your firewall. You switch access on and off yourself.
Details1x1-DVR: continuous recording, what matters in HD
Designed for up to eight cameras. Recording and storage stay with you on site, without a cloud subscription.
- SD around the clock, HD when it countsContinuous recording in SD. When the camera AI detects a person, an additional HD recording starts with an adjustable post-roll. Zoom cameras move to the full frame for this. Weekly schedule per camera, with automatic HD at night if you wish.
- People, not false alarmsThe camera AI distinguishes between people, vehicles, animals and general motion. Very short detections are hidden as likely false alarms, but still saved.
- Smart floodlightSwitches on only when a person is detected and it is dark, and goes off again a few minutes after the last detection.
- Connection to the alarm systemIf you wish, a detected person triggers the alarm when the system is armed. How this is done depends on your system.
- The day at a glanceTimeline with coloured event markers, activity density and preview images. Several cameras play back in sync.
- Export in a few clicksMark the start and end, choose SD or HD, download as a video file. Every export is logged.
- Aim the camera with a clickClick in the image and the pan camera turns to that spot, in the Home Assistant app too.
- Recording you can rely onHome Assistant continuously checks that new footage is really being saved. If a stream drops, recording restarts. When storage runs low, the oldest recordings are removed.
- Role-based accessRoles for administration, operation and view-only, encrypted access and a log of who viewed or exported what.
Remote support without opening your firewall
Port forwarding would be a door into your network that can be reached from outside. We deliberately do not take that route. Instead, your system sets up the connection itself, from the inside out, to our secured hub in a German data centre, just as a browser opens a website.
- Double protection
- WireGuard with mutual authentication by key pair and an additional key per connection. Unknown requests get no response at all.
- You stay in control
- You switch remote access on and off with a switch in Home Assistant, for example only for a maintenance appointment. Only the system we delivered can be reached, not the rest of your network.
What this means for your infrastructure
| Requirement | Needed? |
|---|---|
| Inbound port forwarding or NAT rule | No |
| Fixed public IP address or DynDNS | No |
| Changes to router or VPN concentrator | No |
| Access to your firewall management | No |
| Outbound UDP connection on one port | Yes usually already allowed |
In short: your system calls us, not the other way round. The connection is encrypted end to end.
