Resilient Automation

Keep lighting, heating and appliance control responsive with rules that run locally on your devices.

Your automations should still run when the internet does not.

Use live power-state data as automation triggers across sources and loads.
Control
Run trigger-condition-action policies from one app across homes and facilities.
Resilience
Maintain execution locally and fall back to BLE control when internet is down.
In your environment

Built around real life.

8bit combines cloud visibility with local device execution so energy and control workflows continue during router, ISP, or cloud interruptions.

Example application

Home automations that stop during outages

A home keeps AC, water-heater, and lighting schedules running locally, then syncs logs once connectivity returns.

Plan this for your space

Solution flow

How 8bit keeps automations running

  1. Rules are stored on-device for local evaluation and execution.

  2. Hydra and control devices share telemetry for cross-device actions.

  3. Operations continue during internet downtime and recover sync afterward.

  4. Teams still get visibility and control from one consistent app experience.

How 8bit solves this in the app

Hydra telemetry and device state are evaluated on-device, so control logic keeps running when cloud platforms fail.

  • Automation builder with trigger, condition, and action flow
  • Local execution state with cloud sync when connectivity returns
  • BLE fallback for nearby control during internet failure
  • Execution logs showing exactly when and why a rule ran

Why this works better than cloud-only automation

  • Cloud-only systems fail when connectivity fails.
  • Local execution preserves critical power and safety workflows.
  • Businesses and homes both gain resilience without extra complexity.
