Your home shouldn't need permission from the cloud.
Warden is a zero-trust identity system for your home. Every decision stays on your hardware. No subscriptions. No cloud dependency. Ever.
The problem with your current smart home
Every command, every sensor reading, every automation rule — routed through someone else's server. Your data leaves your home, gets processed in a data center you don't control, and comes back. If your internet goes down? Your "smart" home becomes a collection of dumb devices.
Warden keeps everything local. Your identity, your policies, your automations — they never leave your hardware.
TRADITIONAL: HOME → CLOUD → DEVICE
WARDEN: HOME → DEVICE (LOCAL ONLY)

How it works
Four components, one local mesh. From sensor to action in under 5 milliseconds.
The central brain of your home
Processes all identity and automation decisions locally. No cloud dependency. Every policy evaluation happens on your hardware.
ARM Cortex-A53 · Thread border router · 802.15.4z UWB
Eyes and ears in every room
UWB + BLE sensors that detect exactly where you are, down to 10cm precision. Mount them in each room to create identity zones.
IEEE 802.15.4z · BLE 5.3 · ±10cm ranging accuracy
Your cryptographic identity
A small key fob that carries your identity. NFC tap for manual auth, passive UWB for automatic zone detection. No battery — NFC-powered.
NFC-A · UWB · hardware secure element · NFC-powered
Your home responds to you
When you enter a zone, the Hub evaluates policies and triggers automations. Lights, locks, climate — all local, all instant. No round-trip to the cloud.
Policy engine · Home Assistant integration · <5ms local latency
