From the hardware you already own to an interface the whole family uses.
Calaos talks to the controllers, buses and devices you already have, without going through an external service.

The mobile app connects to your Calaos server with its address, your username and your password. It gives you access to rooms and their devices: lights (dimming and color), shutters, outlets, sensors, climate control. You can run a scenario, watch your cameras and control audio players. The display follows what happens in the house live, and a push notification opens the event it is about. The interface is available in French, English and German.
The wall panel is a touchscreen mounted on the wall, running Calaos firmware on an ESP32-P4. It connects over Ethernet or Wi-Fi, finds the server on your network and pairs with it using a short code. The server sends it its pages: light switches, temperature, scenarios, shutters, climate, clock and screensaver. A 720 × 720 model also includes two relays. The firmware updates from the server and rolls back to the previous version if an update fails.
Calaos Home also comes in a full-screen version for a fixed touchscreen running Calaos OS. It offers the same features as the mobile app: rooms, scenarios, cameras and audio players, with an on-screen keyboard. You can place movable widgets on it, such as a clock, a note or the weather. Network, language and system updates are all set from the screen itself.
The web interface is served by the Calaos server itself: just open its address in a browser, with nothing to install. It shows rooms and their devices, scenarios, cameras and audio players. The display updates live, without reloading the page.
