The SIMO.io hub is your on‑prem authority. It runs locally, enforces our wire‑first, open‑source doctrine, and keeps your home private, reliable, and resilient—no third‑party cloud dependency for core functions.
Your quiet command center that coordinates everything: lighting, HVAC, security, scenes, schedules, backups, and secure remote access. Professional‑grade. Developer‑friendly. Built to scale.
SIMO.io is not here to compete in the smart home industry. SIMO.io is here to redefine it—replacing frustration and fragility with a plug‑and‑play, military‑grade platform that simply does its job.
Local authority, offline resilience
Your home runs even if the internet doesn’t. Scenes, devices, and schedules stay online locally.
Whole‑home orchestration
Lighting, HVAC, security, automations—coordinated in one place with clarity.
Wire‑first reliability
Ethernet by default for stability and speed. Keep hub + router on a UPS for continuity.
Multi‑instance hosting
Run multiple SIMO.io smart home instances on one hub—ideal for multi‑unit buildings.
Open‑source confidence
Inspect, extend, and trust the stack that runs your home.
Developer’s paradise
Python/Django workflow with PostgreSQL, Redis, MQTT, and more—ready on day one.
SIMO Cloud: remote features and subscription
Your SIMO.io hub remains fully local for core operation. SIMO Cloud adds disciplined remote capabilities when you are away:
- Remote access (SIMO.io app outside your LAN)
- AI scripts generation
- Sentinel AI voice assistant
- In‑app notifications
- Location/presence updates from the SIMO.io app
Military‑grade resilience: hardware plus a backup regime that never blinks
Consumer‑grade hubs often run on SD cards or eMMC—media not designed for operating systems. They wear out in a few years and too often ship without meaningful backups. When those hubs die, your home goes dark: no heating, no lights, no security, no blinds, no gates.
- Industrial‑grade internals: engineered PCB platform designed for continuous duty.
- Long‑life storage: 256 GB SSD with the system using ~20 GB, leaving abundant wear headroom. With SIMO.io’s low write profile and wear‑levelling across free space, longevity is measured in decades.
- Rescue media included: a dedicated 128 GB USB thumb drive stores rolling snapshots every 12 hours.
- Consistent snapshots: LVM partition snapshots capture a point‑in‑time image; BorgBackup stores a deduplicated copy on the rescue drive.
- 20‑minute disaster recovery: if the SSD fails—or even the hub itself—boot from the rescue USB and restore to a new SSD in about 20 minutes, then resume operation.
- Designed for the worst day: automations, devices, scenes, and schedules are recoverable on demand. No starting from scratch; no weeks of re‑pairing.
Local authority, not cloud dependency
- On‑prem by design: automations, scenes, and device control continue during internet outages.
- Data sovereignty: keep telemetry and logic local; choose what, if anything, touches the cloud.
- Predictable performance: low‑latency control with no rate limits or vendor outages deciding your day.
Multi‑instance hosting (scale cleanly)
- One SIMO.io hub can host multiple SIMO.io smart home instances—serve several apartments or distinct properties from a single hub.
- Each instance is scoped and manageable on its own—clean separation by design.
- No fixed software limit—capacity depends on hardware and workload.
Open source and developer‑friendly
Python/Django at the core—clear, familiar, extensible. The stack you actually need is preconfigured.
- NGINX (reverse proxy and TLS termination)
- PostgreSQL (reliable database)
- Redis (caching and queues)
- MQTT (device messaging)
- OpenVPN (secure remote access)
- SSH + UFW firewall (controlled, auditable access)
- LVM snapshots + BorgBackup (12‑hour rolling snapshots to the rescue USB)
Ready on day one
Connect via Ethernet, power up, and sign in with the SIMO.io app. Create your local SIMO.io smart home instance and start pairing devices and building scenes.
- Connect the SIMO.io hub to your router via Ethernet and power it on.
- Install and sign in with the SIMO.io app.
- Create your local SIMO.io smart home instance and begin pairing devices (e.g., Game Changer boards, Sentinel).
Privacy, security, and maintenance—handled
- Local‑first operations with the SIMO.io hub; optional cloud is used only where it adds value (e.g., AI voice processing).
- Secure tunnels via OpenVPN for remote support and maintenance.
- Rolling LVM + BorgBackup snapshots every 12 hours to the included rescue USB. Boot and restore quickly if disaster strikes.
- Clear firewall posture with UFW; manage access deliberately.
For professionals: build once, replicate everywhere
- Standardized, preconfigured stack means less tinkering, faster commissioning, and fewer support calls.
- Multi‑instance hosting fits MDUs, mixed‑use buildings, and multi‑tenant deployments.
- Open‑source foundation lets teams audit, version, and extend with confidence.
- A consistent environment serious installers and developers can trust—from the first install to the thousandth.

FAQs
Do I need internet for my smart home to run?
No. With a local SIMO.io hub, core automations and device control continue without internet. Remote access and any cloud‑only features require connectivity.
Does the hub include SIMO Cloud?
Yes. OEM SIMO.io hubs include 3 years of SIMO Cloud (per hub). Self‑hosted hubs receive a free 3‑month trial; afterwards SIMO Cloud is $89/year (per hub).
What happens if my subscription expires?
Your hub continues operating locally on your LAN. Cloud features pause until you renew: remote access/VPN, in‑app notifications, location/presence updates, AI scripts generation, and the Sentinel AI voice assistant.
Are backups stored in the cloud?
No. Backups are local by design—captured to the included rescue USB via LVM snapshots and BorgBackup. There are no cloud backups at this time.
Can I use SIMO.io without buying a local hub?
Yes. You can run a virtual SIMO.io smart home instance in the SIMO.io cloud for minimal setups. Note: this requires internet for devices to communicate with it. For local control and offline resilience, use the local SIMO.io hub.
How many smart homes can one hub host?
A single SIMO.io hub can host multiple SIMO.io smart home instances; there’s no fixed software limit. Capacity depends on actual workload.
Why industrial hardware and a 256 GB SSD?
Operating systems punish low‑end media like SD/eMMC. We use a long‑life SSD with abundant free space so writes spread evenly—dramatically extending longevity—paired with a rescue USB that holds rolling snapshots.
How fast is recovery if something fails?
Boot from the included rescue USB and restore to a fresh SSD in about 20 minutes, then resume operation.
SIMO.io - Smart Home Supremacy - quiet, protective, reliable, inevitable. The SIMO.io hub is its local authority: wire‑first, open source, and engineered with a military‑grade backup regime. Install it once and let it run your home with discipline—today, tomorrow, and for decades.
