The Game Changer MINI commits to SIMO.io Smart Home Supremacy. It’s the compact, wire‑first controller for places the original plan didn’t cover—or where a small, disciplined node is all you need. Four modular I/O ports. Two digital interfaces. Onboard 100–240 V AC power (or PoE, or 12 V DC). Put intelligence exactly where it’s needed—calmly, reliably, without rework.
What you gain the moment the MINI powers on
- Remote control, solved: perfect for greenhouses, garages, gate pillars, pergolas, pool houses, attics, and remote rooms.
- Snap‑in modular control: 4 PCIe‑style ports for SIMO.io relays, dimmers, and binary sensors.
- Two digital interfaces on board: host a full DALI lighting line or a tidy I2C sensor bus.
- Flexible power: onboard 100–240 V AC, PoE over Ethernet, or 12 V DC—choose what the site gives you.
- Resilient by design: prefer Ethernet/PoE when present; otherwise power from mains and connect over Wi‑Fi for minimal, decisive installs.
- Service without rework: swap modules in seconds—no re‑pairing devices or rewriting automations.
Where the MINI shines
- Greenhouse: I2C temperature/soil sensors drive irrigation valves and fans; DALI for grow lights; relays for zone control.
- Gatehouse/driveway: relays for motor/strike, inputs for contacts, DALI for bollards or pathway lighting.
- Garage/workshop: door operators, task lights, extraction fans, leak sensors—tidy, centralized, serviceable.
- Pool house/pergola: pumps and lights via relays; environmental I2C sensors; a DALI line for architectural fixtures.
- Late adds/retrofits: where Ethernet wasn’t pulled, power from mains and connect via Wi‑Fi—no wall tearing, no messy PSUs.
Modular I/O and dual‑use digital ports
The MINI has four PCIe‑style I/O ports (IO1–IO4). IO1 and IO2 are dual‑purpose: they can host standard I/O modules or be reassigned as digital interfaces for DALI or I2C.
- When IO1 or IO2 is used as a digital interface (e.g., I2C on IO1), it is occupied by that bus. The remaining ports (e.g., IO2, IO3, IO4) are available for modules.
- Module options: relay modules (switched loads), dimmer modules (lighting), and binary sensor modules (dry contacts).
- Digital bus options: DALI module (addressable lighting with groups/scenes) or I2C module (multiple sensors on a tidy bus).
Power and networking (choose what the site gives you)
- Onboard mains: 100–240 V AC input lets you deploy a MINI in remote spots without external PSUs—minimal and decisive.
- Preferred when available: PoE over Ethernet for one‑cable power + data and UPS‑ready resilience.
- Alternative: 12 V DC input is supported if that’s the local standard.
- Networking: Ethernet (LAN) when you can pull it; Wi‑Fi where LAN is absent—this is the typical MINI scenario.
- Best practice: keep your SIMO.io hub and router on a UPS (back the PoE switch too, if used) so the system keeps working through outages.
Setup
- Mount the MINI on DIN rail at the edge location (greenhouse, garage, pump room, etc.).
- Power it via 100–240 V AC (onboard), PoE, or 12 V DC.
- On boot, the LED flashes blue—Bluetooth onboarding is ready.
- Open the SIMO.io app → Colonels → select the waiting device → name it → choose LAN (PoE/Ethernet) or Wi‑Fi → Connect.
- Snap in modules; assign IO1/IO2 as DALI or I2C if needed; build scenes and schedules in the SIMO.io app.
Built under SIMO.io Smart Home Supremacy
- The MINI serves SIMO.io with discipline. Pair once, manage centrally in the SIMO.io app.
- For local control, advanced automation, and offline resilience, run a local SIMO.io hub (open source). Minimal setups can use a virtual SIMO.io smart home instance in the SIMO.io cloud (internet required).
Specs (for confidence)
| I/O ports | 4 PCIe‑style ports (IO1–IO4). IO1 and IO2 can be reassigned as digital interfaces (DALI or I2C). |
|---|---|
| Digital interfaces | 2 (hosted on IO1 and IO2 when assigned): DALI (addressable lighting) or I2C (multi‑sensor bus). |
| Power options | 100–240 V AC (onboard); PoE over Ethernet (preferred when present); 12 V DC (alternative). |
| Networking | Ethernet (LAN) with PoE when available; Wi‑Fi for remote spots without LAN; Bluetooth for onboarding. |
| Expansion | No extension board support (by design); no general‑purpose GPIO pins. |
| Installation | DIN‑rail friendly form factor; follow local electrical code for mains connections. |
FAQs
Do I need Ethernet?
If LAN is present, PoE over Ethernet is preferred for one‑cable power + data and UPS resilience. The MINI is designed for places where LAN often isn’t available—power it from 100–240 V AC (onboard) and connect via Wi‑Fi for a minimal, decisive install.
How do IO1 and IO2 work as digital interfaces?
IO1/IO2 can be reassigned to host a DALI or I2C module. When a port is used as a digital interface, it is occupied by that bus, leaving the other ports for standard I/O modules.
Can I expand the MINI later?
The MINI doesn’t support an extension board. If you need more I/O in that location, add another MINI or use The Game Changer main board with an Extender.
What if a module or the MINI fails?
Replace a failed module and move on—no re‑pairing or reprogramming. If the MINI is damaged, install a replacement and use the SIMO.io app to move components; your SIMO.io hub pushes the same configuration.
Does it work offline?
Yes. With a local SIMO.io hub, automations and control run locally. Internet is only required for cloud‑only features or virtual instances.
SIMO.io — Smart Home Supremacy. Quiet, protective, reliable, inevitable. The Game Changer MINI is the disciplined remote node that puts control exactly where it belongs.
