🌐 What Is SpectraCoreX
SpectraCoreX is an open-source initiative to build a fully local, privacy-first home automation ecosystem.
It replaces fragmented, cloud-dependent “smart home” solutions with a modular suite of services that run entirely on your own hardware — from laptops and NAS systems to embedded sensors and cameras.
Each module operates independently yet communicates with others through a shared event system, forming a cohesive, offline network that can observe, reason, and act — without ever sending your data to the cloud.

🧩 The Idea
Modern automation systems rely on external servers for simple tasks such as detecting motion, sending alerts, managing schedules, and running AI assistants.
SpectraCoreX inverts that model.
It’s designed around three principles:
Local by default – every process runs on-premises, with optional and auditable internet access.
Modular and composable – small, focused services that can be combined or replaced freely.
Private and auditable – your data never leaves your network, and every action can be traced.
🏠 The Ecosystem
SpectraCoreX is designed as a family of modular services that together form a local automation fabric — a system that can perceive, reason, and act entirely within your home network.
At its center is SpectraX, the perception and orchestration core.
It’s the foundation of the system and the first active module under development.
Active Module
- 🟢 SpectraX — Core Perception & Orchestration
SpectraX processes camera streams, detects people, vehicles, and motion, and emits structured events for other modules to act upon.
It serves as the system’s primary input layer — the “eyes and pulse” that perceive the environment and feed data into future automation layers.
Planned Modules
⚪ RuleEngine — Policy & Automation Logic
Will interpret events and apply user-defined rules to decide what actions to take.
⚪ HouseLLM — Local Intelligence Layer
A fully local assistant that will understand the home context and interact safely with other modules.
⚪ Gatekeeper — Access & Actuation
Controls gates, doors, and security zones with fine-grained authorization.
⚪ Notifier — Communication & Alerts
Local messaging and alert system, no external dependencies.
⚪ HomeIO & SenseHub — Device & Sensor Integration
Connects lights, switches, and environmental sensors.
⚪ Presence & Scheduler — Context Awareness
Tracks occupancy and time-based routines.
⚪ Records & Console — Memory & Interface
Will provide event storage and a unified local dashboard.
⚪ NetGate & RemoteBridge — Controlled Connectivity
Provide limited, auditable internet access and on-demand encrypted remote sessions.
⚪ SecurityCore, Backup, UpdateManager — System Integrity
Safeguard credentials, manage updates, and ensure reliability over time.
🔒 Philosophy
SpectraCoreX exists for those who value control, transparency, and digital independence.
It’s for builders and homeowners who want powerful automation without handing over their data, identity, or uptime to remote servers.
Your home should not depend on someone else’s cloud.
🌱 Learn More
Each module lives in its own repository under the SpectraCoreX organization.
