Philosophy
boneIO philosophy for the Edge series
Welcome to the world of boneIO! If you're here, it means that, like us, you believe a smart home should truly be yours. Not just convenient, but also reliable, private, and fully tailored to your needs.
Edge series devices allow your boneIO ecosystem to extend beyond the electrical panel. Listening to the expectations of our users, we created devices you've been waiting for! When designing these devices, we followed our unwavering philosophy, which is based on four main pillars:
1. Local Control First
Your data, your rules, your home. boneIO Edge devices are designed to work 100% within your local network.
2. Openness
Our Edge series devices communicate using universal protocols such as RS485 and an ISO 11898-2 compliant interface (connector labeled CAN), ensuring seamless compatibility with our controllers as well as a wide range of other systems. Instead of locking you into one system, we provide open communication that allows integration with any smart home platform.
3. Reliability
We believe in simplicity. A single boneIO Edge series device, thanks to its simple and well-thought-out design, perfectly complements the boneIO ecosystem in places where a binary signal is not enough. This approach, based on professional communication buses, not only guarantees reliability but also significantly simplifies the entire smart home configuration.
4. Support and Community
We believe that a great product is just the beginning. Our passion is helping users realize their vision of a smart home, and we don't leave you on your own after purchase. We are always happy to share knowledge, answer questions, and help solve problems — from simple configurations to complex automation scenarios.
