HomeWith the box
The radios are in the chassis. Devices pair once, routines run inside, and everything keeps answering when the internet does not, because it never needed it.1
RadiosWith the box
Woven Core is a Thread border router, a Matter controller and a Zigbee coordinator in one enclosure, with antennas placed for a home and not for a server rack. Z-Wave is available by USB where the region calls for it.
Native Home Assistant runs inside. Anything you have already set up carries over.
A routine, with its receipt
Three seconds, seven steps, one receipt. The lock is a class D action, so Tandem checks presence before it moves. Nothing here needed the internet.
OfflineWith the box
Voice, intent, home control and private memory run on the box. When the connection drops, supported devices keep responding and routines keep firing. Features that need the Outside are marked unavailable instead of pretending.
When the connection returns, queued sync resumes without repeating an action.
CamerasWith the box
People, packages, cars and pets are detected on the NPU. Clips are saved to the box under a retention you set. Nothing is uploaded to be analysed.
There is no facial recognition in the first release, by design.
On your TV · includedWith the box
One HDMI cable. Your photos, your movies and your cameras on the television, with Tandem a word away. Your phone is the remote, or your voice is.
Nothing you watch, browse or ask is reported to anyone, because nothing on the screen ever leaves the box.
