AI-powered anomaly detection and contextual awareness
Water running with no occupancy detected? Conduit alerts you immediately. Leak sensors + presence detection + AI correlation prevents water damage before it happens.
Door/window opens → temperature drops → HVAC automatically adjusts. No manual programming. AI learns patterns and optimizes climate control based on occupancy and weather.
Multi-sensor fusion: PIR motion, sound analysis, camera presence detection, door sensors. Guardian Server AI correlates all inputs for accurate occupancy mapping.
Motion sensors at entry points. IR control for external lighting. Camera integration. Presence patterns establish baseline—anomalies trigger alerts.
VOC/CO₂ sensors detect cooking, cleaning, or air quality issues. Automatic ventilation control. Smoke detection integrated. Health-optimized environment.
High-quality audio for entertainment + environmental sound detection. Glass breaking, smoke alarms, running water—AI recognizes acoustic signatures.
Individual sensors are dumb. Guardian Server AI correlates all data to understand context. Water running + no presence + nighttime = leak alert. Water running + presence + morning = normal shower.

Mirror Architecture: Conduit is a sensor and control interface. All AI thinking happens on Guardian Server. Intelligence stays in your home.
Production-ready hardware stack with complete BOM
Why Conduit wins vs Google Nest, Amazon Echo, Apple HomeKit
All AI processing occurs on local Guardian Server. No cloud dependency means no data harvesting, no surveillance, and no third-party access to your home data.
Natural language voice interface powered by local LLMs. Understands context, learns preferences, and executes complex multi-device automations through conversation.
AI generates circuit diagrams, BOMs, and pre-programmed kits from architectural plans. Reduces planning time by 90%, eliminates manual programming.
10+ sensor types provide complete environmental awareness: motion, temperature, humidity, air quality, pressure, sound, light, water leaks, and presence detection.
Works with Guardian ecosystem plus Wi-Fi, Zigbee, Z-Wave, Thread, Matter, RS-485, and Modbus. One hub controls everything.
Single cable provides both data and power. No batteries to replace, no wall adapters. Professional installation or simple retrofit.
How Conduit fits into the complete platform
Guardian Server: Local AI processing hub for both environmental and personal intelligence. All devices communicate through Server—no cloud, complete privacy.
Conduit senses environment → encrypted transmission to Guardian Server → AI processes locally → commands executed through Conduit → Voyager devices provide personal feedback. Complete loop stays on local network. Zero cloud transmission.
$40.75B addressable market across multiple segments
AI-driven workflow reduces planning time by 90%
Builder uploads architectural drawings (PDF, CAD, or images)
Computer vision identifies rooms, fixtures, and optimal sensor placement. Generates circuit diagrams and automation flows automatically.
Complete bill of materials with part numbers, quantities, and installation locations. Pre-configured for this specific home.
Guardian delivers pre-programmed kit. Installer scans QR codes to verify placement. System auto-configures on first boot.
Traditional automation planning: 20-40 hours per home. Guardian AI: 2-4 hours. This transforms smart home from luxury upgrade to standard inclusion in new construction. Target: 10% of new US housing starts (140K units annually = $56M revenue at $399/unit).
Residential, commercial, and industrial deployments
Comprehensive home automation: lighting, climate, security, entertainment. Voice control with local AI. Energy optimization. Water leak detection. Air quality monitoring.
Office building management: occupancy-based HVAC, automated lighting, conference room booking, air quality compliance, energy reporting for LEED certification.
Patient room automation: hands-free controls for medical staff, air quality monitoring for infection control, temperature logging for compliance, presence detection for response.
Factory monitoring: environmental conditions for quality control, safety alerts for hazardous conditions, equipment status, energy optimization for production schedules.
Hotel room automation: guest preference learning, energy savings between bookings, maintenance alerts, voice assistant in guest's language, accessibility features.
Campus buildings: classroom scheduling automation, HVAC optimization during breaks, air quality for student health, security integration, energy cost reduction.
Market timing and competitive positioning
Ring cameras compromised, Alexa recording conversations, Google Nest data mining. Consumers increasingly aware of surveillance capitalism. Guardian's local-first architecture is the answer.
Local LLMs now viable (Llama 3.1, Mistral) with consumer hardware. Edge AI accelerators (Coral, Hailo) enable real-time processing. Technology finally enables truly private AI.
Smart home becoming standard in new construction. But programming complexity limits adoption. Guardian's AI automation platform removes this barrier.
Consumers tired of $20/mo for AI, $10/mo for storage, $30/mo for health tracking. Guardian's replacement economics resonates: own infrastructure, cancel subscriptions.
Matter standard enables interoperability. Zigbee, Z-Wave, Thread all stable. Guardian can control everything without proprietary lock-in.
Google/Amazon prioritize ad revenue over privacy. Apple walled garden limits integrations. No one offers local AI with complete protocol support. Blue ocean opportunity.
