Smart Home

Manage Diverse Smart Home Devices in One System

FICUSONLINE provides self-hosted smart home solutions based on open technologies such as Home Assistant, MQTT, Matter, and Thread.

Bring devices from different manufacturers and communication standards together in Home Assistant, including lights, appliances, sensors, smart locks, intercoms, security devices, and GPS trackers.

Control your home from smartphones and tablets, or create automations based on sensors, schedules, presence, location, and other conditions.

A Smart Home Without Cloud Dependency

Many smart home products rely on the manufacturer's cloud service to control devices.

While convenient, this can lead to several limitations:

Different apps for different manufacturers
Dependence on multiple cloud services
Dependence on an Internet connection
Changes or discontinuation of cloud services
Personal and household data being stored by external services

With a self-hosted Home Assistant environment, devices from different manufacturers can be managed through a single system while the core of the smart home remains under your control.

Open Technologies for a More Flexible Smart Home

FICUSONLINE focuses on smart home environments that are not tied to a single manufacturer or cloud platform.

Home Assistant

The central platform for managing your smart home.

Home Assistant can integrate lights, appliances, sensors, security devices, and many other types of smart home equipment into a single interface.

Matter / Thread

Build an environment for next-generation smart home devices using Matter and the low-power Thread mesh network.

FICUSONLINE also provides Thread Border Router solutions using OpenThread Border Router (OTBR).

MQTT

A lightweight messaging protocol widely used for IoT devices.

MQTT can connect GPS trackers, sensors, custom IoT devices, and other systems with Home Assistant.

Open Technologies

Combine Home Assistant, MQTT, Matter, Thread, and other open-source technologies to build a smart home that does not depend entirely on a single cloud platform.

From Manual Control to Automation

The value of a smart home is not limited to controlling lights or appliances from a smartphone.

By combining sensors, schedules, presence, and location data, your home can respond automatically to changing conditions.

For example:

Turn off lights automatically when nobody is in the room
Turn on lights or air conditioning when you arrive home
Turn lights on automatically at sunset
Control air conditioning or ventilation based on temperature and humidity
Receive notifications when doors or windows are opened
Detect occupancy using motion sensors
Trigger automations based on GPS location
Receive smartphone notifications when unusual activity is detected
Combine multiple sensors to create customized security rules

The possibilities depend on the devices and automation rules used in your environment.

Security & Privacy

Smart homes generate data about everyday life.

This may include information about occupancy, temperature, lighting, door activity, location, and other aspects of your daily routines.

With a self-hosted Home Assistant environment, the core smart home system can run on a server managed by you.

This allows you to reduce dependence on external cloud services and keep selected smart home data within your own environment.

For remote access, secure technologies such as VPN and TLS can be incorporated into the system architecture.

A smart home should not only be convenient. You should also have control over how its data is managed.
