Casanet APK

Open-source smart home IoT control system & dashboard.

Control Smart Home IoT devices in your local network without giving anyone access to the house network.

Supports smart toggles, switches, lights, air-conditioners, etc.

About the Casanet Project

This project aims to resolve a number of issues plaguing most Smart Home systems

Lack of common interfaces: Anyone who uses a number of smart devices (smart IR, smart sockets or anything of that kind) of different brands is familiar with the problem of having to deal with completely different applications, authentication methods, timings, operations, etc. for each device.

Reliability & Stability:
To control home appliances from the internet, the devices communicate with the manufacture's servers, some of which belong to small companies that may "come and go" or have downtime issues. Client side service issues are also notoriously difficult to diagnose and resolve.

Accessibility:
Although that there is no good reason to disallow control of home appliances directly from the local network, most commercial home appliances allow control only via the manufacturer's servers, therefore rendering the device inoperable, (even from inside the LAN!) in case of connectivity issues.

Security:
The biggest problem with commercial IoT is security. We definitely do not want to entrust our home to any code produced by an IOT manufacturer as they are known for making some of the most insecure and dubious systems in existence. We want to use vetted, battle-tested and privacy-oriented open-source assets in order to ensure the devices do not turn rouge or outright malicious. We want the ability to isolate our devices from the outside world whilst retaining all (or most) capabilities.

As a solution to these problems, this project consolidates all the smart home appliances into one simple, clear and easy to access API.

The Casanet server can run on any computer type (x86, ARM) at home and does not require an internet connection to operate.

The Casanet server design is to manage abstract world devices and a collection of modules ("drives") for each physical device kind, to convert to/from an abstract device state to/from the physical device.

This allows to easily add support in vast devices kinds, and separately, control all of them in one dashboard, same timing/operation abilities and even open an easy to use modern API.

Each module/driver is designed to work only through a local network, let us disconnect the device for good from the internet.
