Why inovaea
Designed for makers who mean business
Home Assistant native
inoCORE5 runs Home Assistant OS on RPi CM5. Every inovaea module integrates natively — no custom bridges, no workarounds.
Codesys Runtime
Need a PLC? Flash Codesys Runtime on inoCORE5 and program in IEC 61131-3. Full ladder, ST, FBD — on the same hardware.
📷
Frigate NVR + AI
Run Frigate with USB Coral TPU on inoCORE5. Local AI object detection — person, vehicle, animal — without any cloud.
📡
Offline-first field logic
inoNODE modules run their own Modbus control loops. Heating and HVAC keep working even when the network is down.
🔩
DIN-rail form factor
Every inovaea module snaps into a standard electrical cabinet. Professional installation, clean wiring, always-on operation.
📖
Open & fully documented
Full schematics, firmware source code, wiring guides, and examples. No black boxes — you own your system completely.
