Ecosystem Blueprint
Your Device, Your Brand, Your Ecosystem
Our Vision
Creating a Robust, Open Smart Home Ecosystem
Unlock the Full Potential of Every Device
Our vision is to build a powerful, open smart home ecosystem that ensures users' devices work seamlessly, effectively and intelligently. We transform ordinary hardware into truly smart solutions, enabling users to fully utilize the capabilities of every device they own. By creating seamless integrations within the smart home landscape, we enhance users' experience and make smart living accessible for everyone.
Empower Every Smart Home Provider
We are dedicated to equipping device manufacturers with the intelligent capabilities they need to thrive in today's competitive market. Instead of relying solely on hardware sales, our platform allows manufacturers to reclaim the rewards of their ecosystem contributions. Together, we can cultivate a dynamic marketplace where innovation flourishes, and both users and manufacturers benefit from enhanced smart home experiences.
How It Works
A user-centric ecosystem where everyone contributes and benefits
Users
MeowCore acts as the enabling platform, orchestrating the home with intelligence to create seamless smart home experiences.
One Home. Any App.
With MeowCore, users are no longer locked into a single brand's interface. Enjoy a unified smart home experience across any hardware provider's app.
Universal Access
Access the entire home ecosystem — regardless of device brand — from any app powered by MeowCore. Control lights, thermostats, and sensors from the preferred interface.
Shared Intelligence
Automations are managed by MeowCore, locally on the hub or in Cloud, shared across all apps. Create a complex automation in Brand A's app, and it instantly works and appears in Brand B's app.
Unified Dashboard
Experience a consistent dashboard layout and control logic, with the shared MeowCore dashboard. Real-time state synchronization, no matter which app you are using, no matter whether you are at home or remote.
Apps, Supercharged.
Expand app capabilities from single-device control to whole-home intelligence, without losing unique brand identity.
Whole Home Control
Gain access to the user's full device graph. An app isn't just for specific hardware anymore—it becomes a central controller for the entire home, increasing user retention and daily engagement.
Advanced Intelligence
Inherit MeowCore's powerful automation engine and AI agents. Offer highly advanced automation logic and smart suggestions natively in apps without investing in heavy backend R&D.
Brand Differentiation
Retain exclusive features that only work in specific apps. Create unique dashboard canvases to showcase brand identity, while seamlessly integrating shared canvases for general home control.
Fair Pricing & Shared Success
A transparent model where every ecosystem contributor benefits from long-term operation.
No Hardware Tax
We never charge "toll fees" for connecting devices. Local execution is completely free.
• Free: Device connection & Local Automation runtime.
• Paid: Cloud AI calls & Cloud-based Automation APIs.
Fair Attribution
Cloud costs are attributed to the app initiating the request, unless covered by user subscription.
• App A calls AI Agent → App A pays.
• User has Pro → Usage fees waived for all apps.
Shared Success
We believe every builder should benefit from the ecosystem's success.
• Revenue sharing for high-value agents & automations.
• Long-term incentives for quality contributions.
The Role of the Official App
We act as the glue of the ecosystem, filling gaps without competing with our partners.
Universal Matter Hub
For users without a dedicated hub, the official Android app serves as a full-featured Matter controller and local hub. It supports wall-mounted tablet usage, breathing new life into idle electronics.
Home for Device Makers
Small brands can focus solely on hardware. We provide a low-code console for configuration, while the official app handles device control. We ensure fair play with clear brand visibility.
Reference Implementation
The official app is a testing ground for new features. It enjoys no special privileges or backdoors—it is simply one of many consumers of the MeowCore platform, ensuring a level playing field.
// Our Manifesto

No Double Dipping:
If users subscribe to MeowCore Pro, we won't charge partners API fees for that user.

No Hardware Tax:
We will never charge “toll fees” or “QR code taxes” for standard Matter or Cloud-Cloud hardware.

Equal Access:
New AI capabilities and the SDK will be equally available for both the official app and all partners.

User data belongs to the user. We do not sell personal habits or data to third parties.

Local First:
Your home should work even when the internet doesn't. We prioritize local execution for reliability and privacy.

No Vendor Lock-in:
We support standards like Matter and allow users to mix and match brands freely. No walled gardens.
