How it works

Fitted in about an hour. Nothing rewired.

The module goes behind the switchboard you already have. Your switches keep working exactly as they do today. The app is just a second way in.

01

We look at your switchboard

Tell us the board type, how many switches, and what your fan regulator looks like. We confirm it's a fit before anyone visits.

Modular boards with conventional toggle switches are the fit. Push-button switches double-toggle, so we swap them during the install.

02

We build your unit

Your Wi-Fi details and the device's identity are written into the unit before it leaves us. That's why there's no pairing screen. It already knows which home it belongs to.

One unit per switchboard, built for your home specifically. It's also why changing your Wi-Fi network means a visit or an update from us.

03

It goes in behind your plate

The module connects to your existing switch terminals and sits inside the board. No new wires, no chasing walls, no repainting.

Your switches stay. Your wiring stays. About an hour per switchboard.

04

We set it up on your phone before we go

We install the app, name your channels, and match the fan speeds to your actual fan, because the speed steps depend on how your regulator is wired.

There's no app store listing yet, so we put the app on your phone and keep it updated for you until there is.

05

Everything keeps working the way it did

Toggle channels, set fan speed, and set timers from the app, or just use the switch on the wall, which never stopped working.

Optional room temperature and humidity on ESP32 units. Current readings only, with no history charts yet.

Two paths

One of these doesn't touch the internet at all.

Where you are decides how a command reaches the device, and the two routes feel genuinely different. We'd rather you know which is which than be surprised by it.

On your home Wi-Fi

The device runs its own MQTT broker and announces itself on your network. Your phone connects straight to it, so the command never leaves the house, and there is no server in the middle to be down.

Phone → your Wi-Fi → device

Typically under a second. Finding the device on a network it hasn't seen before can take a few seconds, and the app needs to have loaded once with internet before it can do this.

From outside the house

Your command is queued in the cloud, and the device picks it up the next time it checks in. It is a check-in, not a push, so nothing is held open waiting for you.

Phone → internet → queued → device checks in every 15s

Usually under ten seconds, worst case about twenty. The app shows “Turning on…” until the device itself confirms, and says so plainly if it never hears back.
