Offline-first
Most smart switches send every press to a server and back. When the connection drops, so do they. Nexomatic runs the switches, the automation rules and the safety limits on hardware inside your home. Timed schedules on hub-based sites need the internet connection (wall-panel switch sites keep theirs), and alerts to your phone wait for the connection to return.
The glass touch panels keep switching lights and fans. Touch always responds, with or without a connection.
Automation rules and safety limits run on the hub. Timed schedules on hub-based sites need the internet connection (wall-panel switch sites keep theirs).
Dry-run and overflow limits are enforced at the hub, close to the pump, so a network fault cannot disable them.
The 80dB siren sounds in the room whether or not the internet is up. Only the phone notification waits for the connection.
The round remote and the wall kiosk send commands over your own Wi-Fi to the panel in the room.
The beam detector is wired into the panel, so detection and the response to it run on site.
Occupancy sensor rules run locally, so the bathroom light still follows the person in it.

| Control from outside home | Unavailable | Unavailable until reconnect |
Control from outside the house, timed schedules on hub-based sites (wall-panel switch sites keep theirs), and phone notifications. Alerts to your phone wait for the connection to return. Wall switches, automation rules and safety limits keep working on the hardware in your home.
No. The wall switches respond to touch directly, and the app, remote and kiosk reach the panels over your home Wi-Fi.
Mains-powered devices stop when the power does, like any switch. The gate motor has a 24V battery backup. Your settings, device map and pairings are stored on the devices and are not lost.
Broadband and mobile data drop out more often than smart home products built for other markets assume. A system that needs the cloud to switch a light stops being a light switch when that happens.
