Home Ecosystems Controller Pro
Control an ecosystem. Or an entire room of them.
Controller Pro is being built to bring Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Zigbee, Thread and compatible Matter equipment together with powerful local automation, environmental intelligence and local data. Give each ecosystem its own group and dashboard while one local platform coordinates the installation.

What makes Pro different
One local platform. Many independent environments.
Controller Mini coordinates compatible smart equipment. Controller adds eight direct 24 V channels. Controller Pro is designed for installations that need many more connected devices, broader standards, multiple ecosystems, local records and an optional on-site control station.

Each example group can have its own dashboard, sensors, actuators and automation context. A room environment or paludarium can be another group.
Connectivity
Bring more of your equipment together.
Choose devices for the ecosystem you want to build, then manage qualified integrations from one Home Ecosystems platform.
A protocol label alone does not establish support for every device using it. Pro integration and certification work continues before release.
Device capacity
Room for a complete ecosystem room.
Controller Pro is planned for up to 160 primary devices: up to 40 in each of Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Zigbee and Thread.

40Zigbee devices
40Thread devices
Up to 160 devices across those four categories. Matter uses a supported underlying network; it does not add a fifth block of 40.
Featured use case
One Controller. An entire ecosystem room.
Give separate terrariums, an aquarium, an orchid cabinet and a paludarium their own dashboard and environmental behaviour while they share one local automation platform.
Illustrative ecosystem conceptA dashboard for each environment.
Organise two terrariums, an aquarium, an orchid cabinet and a paludarium as separate ecosystem groups. Each can have its own sensors, actuators, automation, daily curves and, where relevant, weather context.
Move between groups on a local screen or in the Home Ecosystems app. Add a room-level group when you want to monitor the shared space as well.
Explore Getting StartedEnvironmental intelligence
Different places. Different natural rhythms.
Connect up to 10 weather contexts so different ecosystem groups can follow relevant conditions from different places. Create up to 10 custom daily curves for light, temperature, humidity and compatible variable equipment.
10weather connections
One room can contain environments inspired by very different locations.
| Environmental target | 06:00 | 12:00 | 18:00 | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Light intensity | 10% | 90% | 30% | 0% |
| Temperature | 20°C | 26°C | 23°C | 19°C |
| Humidity | 80% | 65% | 75% | 85% |
| Rain pump output | 0% | 0% | 50% | 0% |
This curve is an illustrative interface example, not a species-specific husbandry recommendation. Rain output requires a compatible controlled device.
Local intelligence
Your phone does not run the ecosystem. Controller Pro does.
Essential schedules, environmental patterns and automation execute on Controller Pro. Local control continues when internet access is unavailable; remote services and cloud-dependent features need a working connection.
Use it as a local control station.
Connect a monitor or touchscreen for a permanent dashboard in a reptile room, laboratory or professional installation. Keyboard and mouse input can support setup and administration.
Use the app when you are away.
View ecosystem groups, conditions and compatible controls through the Home Ecosystems app on iOS, Android or Windows. Remote access needs the required account and network services.
64 GB of planned local storage supports configuration and historical sensor and actuator data. Essential control continues locally when internet access is unavailable.
Home Ecosystems app
Your ecosystem. Wherever you are.
Move between ecosystem groups and dashboards, review current conditions and local history, check equipment status and control compatible devices. Configure supported patterns and receive alerts where available.
Controller Pro remains in control. Essential automation runs locally on the controller. Remote monitoring and control are available through the app when the controller, account and network are configured for remote access; cloud features need an internet connection.

Pro development work
Xiaomi Mi Temperature & Humidity Monitor 2 is Beta for Controller Pro: direct GATT readings have been demonstrated while continuous sampling and hardware acceptance remain open.
Keep the scope clear
Mini and Controller listings do not automatically establish Pro support. The Xiaomi Monitor 2 is not listed for Mini or standard Controller.
Illustrative ecosystem conceptProfessional solutions
A platform for more ambitious installations.
Controller Pro is intended for specialist ecosystem rooms, botanical gardens, zoos, public aquariums and research settings. Home Ecosystems can discuss project-specific integrations, sensors, dashboards, data and automation requirements.
