HOS Overview
Haptique OS is a local-first control system for smart homes, media rooms, and professional AV spaces. It gives the project one central controller for rooms, devices, scenes, automations, media control, mobile apps, HomeKit, RS90 remotes, and native AI.
Why local-first matters
Section titled “Why local-first matters”Routine control should not depend on every action reaching a cloud service. Haptique OS keeps the core control path on local hardware so rooms, scenes, device state, and local automations can keep working on the home or site network.
Internet access may still be used for account access, license claiming, software updates, remote access, or vendor integrations that require a cloud account.
How it works
Section titled “How it works”Haptique OS runs on supported local hardware and stores the project model: Spaces, logical devices, scenes, favorites, automations, license state, and integration settings.
Control surfaces read from that same controller:
- HOS mobile app for iPhone, iPad, and Android.
- Desktop app and Mac menu bar companion.
- RS90 physical remotes.
- HomeKit and Siri, when enabled.
- AI chat inside supported Haptique apps.
When one surface changes something, the others should reflect the same state from the controller.
Native AI
Section titled “Native AI”Native AI works from the configured project model. It can help control supported devices, create scenes, explain room or device state, and suggest automations when those features are enabled and permitted.
Broad or sensitive actions should ask for confirmation before they run.
