What Smaht Edge does

Devices and sensors

  • Smaht device agents on Raspberry Pi and similar boards: temperature, digital inputs (motion, door contacts), analog inputs for pressure transducers, relays.
  • Microcontroller boards (ESP32, Arduino) over Wi-Fi or a serial cable through a device agent.
  • Inputs set up from the web app; every device has its own login, limited to its own messages.
  • Finds what is on your network: devices waiting to be connected, systems it can integrate with, smart-home gear.

Control and automation

  • Switches, relays and dimmers, with every command recorded and acknowledged; outputs fall back to a safe state when the link is lost.
  • Schedules and rules (when this value goes above that, switch this on).
  • An optional server for AI assistants (MCP), off by default, limited to the devices you choose.

Integrations

  • Home Assistant in both directions, UniFi presence, Pi-hole control, IFTTT, and a local API for your own scripts.

Looking after itself

  • Its own certificate authority and HTTPS, a name on your network, and signed updates you install from the web app.
  • Users with roles, two-step sign-in, an activity log of who did what.
  • An inventory of parts and where they are stored.

With Smaht Cloud

  • An account with two-step sign-in, or sign in with Google, Microsoft, Apple or GitHub.
  • Your linked Smaht Edges in one place: version, health, last heard from; rename or unlink them.
