A programmable environment for physical systems

Build physical systems without starting from scratch.

Connect sensors, controls, cameras, network devices, microcontrollers, and physical outputs. Build the behavior, automate it, monitor it, and expand it as the project grows.

    Put control where it is needed.

  3. 03Physical I/OInputs and outputs

    Connect sensors, controls, and actuators.

  4. 04InterfaceLive web environment

    Build, monitor, and operate the system.

What the platform provides

From physical I/O to a complete working system.

PrometheOS brings device control, programmable logic, automation, interfaces, monitoring, and maintenance into one local platform.

01

Hardware and robotics

Control physical hardware directly, from a benchtop prototype to a distributed machine.

  • GPIO, I²C, relays, sensors, and connected actuators
  • Motors and servos with safety interlocks and watchdogs
  • Touch, analog, motion, and environmental sensor workflows
  • Gamepad and controller mappings for devices and sequences
02

Automation and orchestration

Evaluate live device events using rules, conditions, schedules, sequences, and safeguards.

  • Manual timers and recurring schedules
  • Timeline sequences with loops and conditions
  • Event-driven rules across devices, timers, and sequences
  • Locks, pause controls, snapshots, and safety history
03

Identity, access, and vision

Let people, credentials, cameras, and visual markers safely trigger the right response.

  • Users, roles, permissions, access levels, and schedules
  • RFID credentials, readers, and event logging
  • QR, ArUco, and barcode-triggered workflows
  • Local object, package, pose, face, and subject triggers
04

Audio, voice, and displays

Make physical systems communicate clearly through sound, speech, screens, and signage.

  • Audio libraries, queues, repeat, outputs, and volume
  • USB media, text-to-speech, and voice announcements
  • Voice commands that trigger devices and actions
  • Smart signage, display channels, reels, and event interruptions
05

Environmental and facility systems

Use the same platform for monitoring conditions and controlling the equipment around a project.

  • Thermostat and HVAC profiles, schedules, holds, and safety controls
  • Network-presence triggers for online and offline devices
  • Alarm actions using audio, speech, and notifications
  • I²C OLED and LED display setup, testing, reset, and bus recovery
06

Operations and lifecycle

Build something maintainable, diagnosable, and recoverable—not a demo that becomes a mystery.

  • Searchable records, timelines, and CSV or JSON exports
  • Backup, restore, configuration import, export, and migration
  • Runtime, hardware, camera, scan, and worker diagnostics
  • Node discovery, pairing, claims, provisioning, and firmware updates

Logic and automation

Events, conditions, schedules, sequences, and safeguards.

Turn device events into rules, conditions, schedules, sequences, safeguards, notifications, and repeatable workflows.

01

Connect physical inputs

Bring sensors, buttons, cameras, cards, voice, and network events into one programmable environment.

  • Sensors, buttons, touch, cameras, cards, and voice
  • Live signals, state, and event history
02

Drive physical outputs

Control relays, lights, locks, motors, screens, audio, climate equipment, and custom electronics from the same system.

  • Lights, locks, climate, motors, sound, and screens
  • Individual actions, coordinated sequences, and safety interlocks
03

Define logic and automation

Define the conditions, timing, permissions, and sequences that turn physical events into the behavior your project needs.

  • Event-driven rules, conditions, and sequences
  • Schedules, timers, permissions, and safeguards
04

Build interfaces and communication

Give people the right controls and useful feedback through browser interfaces, screens, sound, speech, alerts, and logs.

  • Messages, sounds, voice, alerts, and live controls
  • Roles, permissions, and interfaces for different people
05

Keep it local and maintainable

Run the core system locally, inspect what it is doing, and keep the hardware and software repairable as the project evolves.

  • Local control with no required cloud subscription
  • Clear history, health checks, backups, and recovery

From input to action

A clear path from physical event to system response.

An input arrives. PrometheOS evaluates the conditions and logic you define, drives the right outputs, and records what happened.

  1. 01ReceiveA sensor, switch, card, camera, voice command, or network event arrives
  2. 02EvaluateCheck conditions, permissions, timing, safety rules, and system state
  3. 03DecideRun the behavior you defined for that event
  4. 04ActDrive a relay, motor, display, light, audio output, or notification
  5. 05RecordKeep the event, response, and system history available to inspect

Cameras

Turn vision into a system event.

Use cameras, visual markers, and local vision workflows as inputs to your system. A code, object, person, package, or pose can trigger behavior, record an event, or inform a person.

  • Use a visual marker to trigger an exhibit, machine, or workflow.
  • Recognize a package or object and notify the right person.
  • Keep camera events and system responses in one history.

Vision becomes an input to the system.

Smart access

Connect identity to control.

Connect cards, readers, users, permissions, and schedules to the hardware they govern. Build access systems for doors, cabinets, tools, machines, or any shared equipment.

  • Use RFID credentials as a dependable physical input.
  • Define who can use equipment, when, and under what conditions.
  • Keep a clear history of every request and result.

Sound and voice

Build feedback into the system.

Use audio, speech, displays, and voice commands as system interfaces. Give people useful feedback, make a machine understandable, or create an experience that responds clearly to the world around it.

  • Play clips, prompts, alarms, announcements, and generated speech.
  • Use voice commands as a hands-free input where they make sense.
  • Coordinate sound with motion, screens, lights, and alerts.

Environmental systems

Monitor conditions. Control equipment.

Connect temperature, humidity, air-quality, water, motion, and other environmental sensors to the equipment that responds. Build a greenhouse, heating system, safety monitor, HVAC controller, or something original.

  • Monitor changing conditions in a live, inspectable system.
  • Drive fans, pumps, heaters, lights, or other equipment automatically.
  • Detect leaks, faults, and unusual changes early.

Robotics and motion control

Build machines that can sense, decide, and move.

Map gamepads and controls, combine sensor and vision events, drive motors and servos, and guard movement with locks, interlocks, and watchdogs. PrometheOS can coordinate a prototype or become the local control layer behind an original robot.

  • Combine perception, decisions, motion, and human control.
  • See what the machine noticed and why it responded.
  • Change, repair, and extend the system as the idea evolves.

System ownership

Local operation, repairability, extension, and visible system state.

PrometheOS is designed for physical systems whose operators need control of data, hardware, behavior, maintenance, and future changes.

Local data and control

Run the core intelligence locally and choose what, if anything, leaves your network.

Repairable components

Keep the system understandable, replaceable, and serviceable instead of sealed behind a dependency.

Project-specific extension

Change behaviors, connect original hardware, and keep evolving the device after the first version ships.

Visible state and history

Inspect status, decisions, history, failures, and resulting output state.

Software licensing

Personal and commercial use have different license terms.

Buy a PrometheOS product and use the software personally. If you sell, deploy, or operate PrometheOS for business, you need a paid software license. Commercial licenses cover products, teams, and enterprise use.

Local by design

Local control. No required cloud.

Run the PrometheOS control center on your own network. Open it from a browser, keep core behavior local, and avoid a required subscription or locked-down device you cannot understand.

Run
Keep the core system on your network
See
Know what is on, off, connected, or changing
Share

Save a project, move it, and pick up where you left off

Every project is different. We help shape the setup around its hardware, safety, privacy, and operational needs.

System depth

A browser interface over a deeper physical-systems stack.

PrometheOS supports initial configuration through the interface while retaining access to custom equipment, project-specific behavior, diagnostics, and lifecycle operations.
