Meet SIMO.io with your hands, not a brochure

The SIMO.io Test Kit is a bench‑in‑a‑box: our core modules, seriously discounted, so you can touch SIMO.io and decide with confidence. No YAML. No documentation marathons. Install the SIMO.io app, power the board, and watch real hardware respond.

Risk‑free trial. Free worldwide shipping + 30‑day, no‑questions‑asked, 100% refund if you return the kit within 30 days of delivery.

What’s inside

How you try it

We encourage running at home on a local hub for serious projects. For trying SIMO.io, start with the virtual instance or your own PC—it’s the easiest way to see it in action without buying a hub.

What you’ll feel in under an hour

Quick start (about 10 minutes)

  1. Power The Game Changer via PoE or 12 V DC.
  2. Install the SIMO.io app from Google Play or the App Store.
  3. In the app: create a virtual SIMO.io smart home instance and add The Game Changer on your network.
  4. Snap in one Relay and one Binary Input; wire a safe test load.
  5. Use the app to try a few actions and requests; watch the bench respond.
Mains safety. When testing AC dimmers or relays on mains, follow local code and use appropriate demo loads. If in doubt, work at SELV levels and involve a qualified electrician.

FAQs

Yes. SIMO.io is an open-source smart home platform built around a wired-first, pro-grade backbone (Ethernet/PoE + DIN-rail hardware) with a mobile-first setup flow. It’s designed to feel “installed” and reliable—while still giving power users full control (including Python scripting when you want it).

It’s a discounted “bench-in-a-box” bundle of our core hardware so you can touch SIMO.io in real life (not just read about it). You can test switching, dimming, sensors, and Sentinel behavior on your desk before committing to a full install.

The kit includes:
  • 1× The Game Changer board
  • 4× Binary Input Modules
  • 4× Relay Modules
  • 2× AC Dimmers
  • 2× DC Dimmers
  • 1× 0–10 V Controller
  • 1× AC/DC Sensor
  • 1× Sentinel

No. The Test Kit is the hardware bundle and does not include a hub. For evaluation you can start with a Virtual (cloud-hosted) SIMO.io instance in the app, or (if you’re technical) run SIMO.io locally on your own machine. When you’re ready for a serious / whole-home setup, add a SIMO.io Hub for full local authority and offline resilience.

A Virtual instance is a cloud-hosted SIMO.io smart home instance created inside the SIMO.io app. It’s the fastest way to evaluate the Test Kit without buying a hub. In the app, tap Add New → choose Virtual → then pair your Game Changer and start testing.

Not currently. Virtual instances are meant for evaluation and can’t be transferred to a local hub. If you later add a hub, you’ll set up a fresh local instance (it’s quick).

The preferred method is PoE over Ethernet for stability and simplicity. If PoE isn’t possible:
  • Game Changer can be powered by 12 V DC
  • Sentinel can be powered by PoE or 12–36 V DC
Both devices can connect over LAN or Wi-Fi (wired-first recommended, Wi-Fi supported).

Yes. You can run everything on Wi-Fi if needed (with the appropriate DC power supplies). For long-term installs we still recommend Ethernet/PoE wherever possible for best reliability.

It depends on how you run it:
  • Virtual (cloud) instance: internet is required for devices to communicate with it.
  • Local hub / local self-host: your core smart home runs on your LAN and keeps working even if the internet is down.
Some cloud features (like AI features) naturally require connectivity.

SIMO Cloud is an optional yearly plan that enables cloud-assisted features such as remote access, AI automation generation, Sentinel AI voice, in-app notifications, and location/presence updates.
  • Virtual Cloud Hub testing includes a 3-month free trial. After the trial, a yearly cloud subscription is required to continue using it that way.
  • If you run a local hub, SIMO Cloud is optional: the home keeps running locally either way.

Your smart home continues operating locally on your LAN (when you run a local hub). Cloud features pause until renewed—remote access, notifications, presence updates, and AI features (AI automations + Sentinel voice).

Yes. Both Virtual hub users and Local hub users can generate automations using the SIMO.io mobile app: you describe what you want in plain language, and SIMO generates the automation for you.
  • Virtual hub: you can generate AI automations in the mobile app, but you can’t directly edit the Python script.
  • Local hub: you can generate AI automations and edit the Python scripts via Django Web Admin (power-user mode).

Sentinel’s wake-word detection runs locally (“SIMI”). With a local hub, Sentinel’s core functions run on-premises; cloud is used only for AI voice understanding. You can also disable the voice assistant entirely in the SIMO.io app if you prefer silence.

Yes. SIMO.io hub software is open source under GNU GPL v3 (or later), and the official repositories are public. You can inspect the code, run it yourself, and extend it.

Both. SIMO.io is pro-grade in build and reliability, but the workflow is designed to be approachable: snap-in modules, guided onboarding in the app, and no YAML marathons. Beginners can stay in the app UI; advanced users can go deep with web admin / SSH.

You can do a lot safely with low-voltage demo loads. If you test AC dimmers or relays on mains voltage, follow local electrical code and use appropriate demo loads. If you’re not 100% confident, stay at SELV levels and/or involve a licensed electrician.

We include the correct AC dimmers for your region: 230 V or 110 V, matched to the order’s country.

We maintain an Integrations directory with both official and community options (for example Z-Wave, Sonos, Denon HEOS, and Komfovent). If you don’t see your device, you can request an integration and upvote it to help prioritize.

Start with the Quick Start Guide and the Wiki, then use the community forum for real-world builds, questions, and feature requests. If you hit an actual product issue, contact us and we’ll help you troubleshoot.

We ship from Lithuania (EU) via express couriers. Typical delivery is:
  • Europe: 3–5 business days
  • North America: 5–7 business days
  • Rest of world: 7–14 business days
(Estimates; customs can add time.) Import duties may apply outside the EU.

The Test Kit includes shipping and has a 30-day money-back guarantee—return it within 30 days of delivery for a full refund.

Quiet, protective, reliable, inevitable. Wire once. Snap in modules. Decide with your hands.

Strong start for serious DIYers and integrators. The wire-first mindset is refreshing.


Darren Whitaker

Clean experience for testing ideas before committing to a full build-out.


Mike S.

The modular approach is the point. Wire once, then evolve the system without ripping things apart.


Josh Will

Great for building a mental model of SIMO.io. The “change the module, not your weekend” idea is real.


SunsetLatch_58

Very good kit; would benefit from a small troubleshooting section (common wiring and network mistakes).


DriftKestrel88

Good direction and solid components. Onboarding could be friendlier for complete beginners, but the core idea is strong.


granite_ridgeway83

Strong concept and build quality. I'd like a bit more guidance on typical topologies (Ethernet/PoE layouts).


Charlotte Pembroke
5 months, 2 weeks ago

Solid kit and strong architecture. I'd love a few more wiring diagrams, but the foundation is excellent.


Lakesider G.

Clear direction, clean hardware, and a calm setup path. This is how smart home should start.
