What Ienoa works with
Ienoa uses public standards and the local interfaces your devices already offer — it never modifies your devices or their data.
Matter
Open standard
Lights, plugs, switches, blinds, door locks, sensors and more, from any brand

- On/off, dimming, status

- Devices connected to your home network
Energy gateway
AiSEG2-compatible
Lights, floor heating and fuel cells managed by the gateway, plus energy statistics

IPP
Open standard

If a device supports more than one protocol (for example, a light that supports both Matter and HomeKit), Ienoa connects through one of them and never lists it twice.
What you need
A home in Japan
With at least one of the devices above, on the same home network as your phone.
HomeBox
For notifications and using Ienoa away from home. A small program on an always-on computer at home; we help you set it up.
An iPhone
iOS 18 or later. An Android version is in the works.
How Ienoa connects
Public standards first
Appliances over ECHONET Lite, printers over IPP, intercom calls over SIP / RTP, cameras over ONVIF / RTSP, smart-home devices over Matter and HomeKit — each built from the published specification.
Only what your devices already allow
For the energy gateway and the intercom, Ienoa uses the local interface the device itself offers on your home network. It can do the same things as the device's own screen or remote — nothing more.
No modification
No firmware changes, no altered protocols, no rewritten device data, and device authentication is never bypassed.
Your network only
At home your phone controls devices directly over your Wi-Fi. Away, everything goes through your own HomeBox, encrypted end to end.
