DOTRAMACore
The native DOTRAMA platform: Zigbee, a live floor plan, a device registry and electricity metering.
What Core is
The hub, and the software that runs on it. One box, plugged into power and your home network.
Everything on this page works today. What does not work yet is listed at the bottom, plainly.
Zigbee is built in
The radio is inside the hub. There is no dongle to buy separately, nothing to plug into a USB port, and no extension cable to keep it away from interference.
Sensors pair from whichever screen you have open — the hub's own, your account on this site, or the app: start the search, wake the sensor, and it appears. Waking it means pressing the button on the sensor, so you will be standing next to it either way.
The floor plan
Import the plan of your home as a PDF or a DXF drawing. Mark out the rooms, place each device where it physically sits, and that becomes the main screen.
Homes with more than one floor are handled as separate plans.
Rooms, devices and measurements
- a registry of every paired device, grouped by room
- climate: temperature, humidity and light level
- security: motion, presence, door and window contacts, smoke, water leaks
- plant care: soil moisture, per plant
- electricity: metered sockets with history
Electricity and reports
Consumption is recorded over time and kept on the hub. A report can be generated as a PDF for the last 24 hours, 7 days, 30 days, or a period you choose.
This is the part that pays for itself: you can see which appliance is quietly expensive.
Not in Core yet
All of this is in development. It is not in the product today.
- watching your cameras while you are away: at home they already work
- automatic delivery of updates: today a hub is updated with a file, by hand
