It's Time to Redefine What a Smart Home Hub Should Be
A smart home is not just about remote control, the ability to raise and lower the lights, detect intruders, or manage your entertainment systems. A true smart home is an integrated system that knows you. It anticipates your needs, understands your voice, and learns from your habits. We spent two years making CastleOS the most intelligent smart home automation system, and now we introduce the CastleHUB as its control center in your home, not in the cloud.
The smart home of today is made up of compromises. It doesn't have to be that way.
Before CastleHUB, your choice was limited to either smart, well-integrated proprietary systems that could cost tens of thousands of dollars, or less well-integrated disparate commodity components that offered only simplistic remote control without real intelligence.
Why be forced to choose between an expensive monolithic system or compromise with a less expensive but also less capable controller?
Why compromise your smart device selection because the hub you chose to control your smart home doesn't support your device of choice?
Why is true home intelligence compromised for the sake of simple remote control disguised as automation?
With CastleOS and the CastleHUB, it doesn't have to be that way.
The Promise of the CastleHUB Powered by CastleOS
When we set out to design the CastleHUB, our first dedicated host for CastleOS, we set forward some very simple criteria:
- It must be powerful enough to run not only the CastleOS of today, but the CastleOS of tomorrow, without relying on the cloud
It must break down the barriers and silos between devices by supporting all smart devices and protocols
It must be extremely energy efficient
It must be capable of supporting the Microsoft Kinect for voice control
It must be capable of using apps to extend functionality
We wanted one HUB to replace all the other hubs in your home. The one HUB to rule them all. We shot for the moon - and we're proud of the results! Introducing the CastleHUB powered by CastleOS!
