Standard components
The system is designed around widely available hardware rather than a locked proprietary stack.
Technology
Technical credibility is part of the product, not a footnote.
casasmooth is positioned around standard components, broad integrations, a Home Assistant-based software foundation, and a privacy-conscious local-first operating model.
Control surfaces
Phone, tablet, and browser interfaces are part of the operating model, not an afterthought.
Open integrations
Protocol breadth matters because the house is a real environment with mixed devices, not a showroom exercise. On the energy side, casasmooth implements the Swiss SmartGridReady (SGr) standard to control heat pumps, EV chargers and inverters regardless of manufacturer.
Privacy and security
The public product story remains local-first and avoids framing cloud dependency as a prerequisite for basic operation.
Why this matters
A house is a mixed environment. The platform has to admit that.
Real projects inherit different brands, protocols, and operator expectations. casasmooth is built around that reality rather than pretending the home begins from a pristine showroom stack.
