The in-wall smart home console done right.
Replaces standard 1-to-4 gang light switch boxes with an architectural touchscreen appliance. Zero cloud bloat. Instant local execution. Deterministic sub-50ms touch-to-light response.
The First Clean Solution for US 1–4 Gang Boxes
Brilliant failed because it couldn't scale cleanly across US construction standards. Shelly only fits round European boxes. Sconce was engineered mechanically from day one to replace 1, 2, 3, or 4 standard toggle/rocker switches.
Single Box High-Density Replacement
Replaces a single standard toggle or Decora switch with a razor-sharp portrait touch console. Perfect for bedrooms, entryways, and hallways where space is tight but full room mastery is required.
Test the In-Wall Experience Right Now
Experience the exact glassmorphic UI running on Sconce. Tap any switch or drag a dimmer to witness deterministic local response times in action.
Built Like a Hardened Network Appliance
Smart home panels have failed because vendors slapped cheap Android tablets on walls and routed commands through distant AWS servers. Sconce is built like industrial networking gear.
Sconce
The Appliance StandardInstantaneous cold boot. Impossible to corrupt on power loss. Zero background junk, Google Play bloat, or thermal throttling.
Every touch command is dispatched over local CLIP v2 SSE or local LAN WebSockets with a trace ID. Zero internet roundtrips.
Detachable 2-piece design mounts flush in any standard single or multi-gang US junction box. No custom wall butchering.
One unified WebSocket on localhost:7420 is both the UI renderer contract and the open API for Home Assistant & power users.
If your ISP goes down, the entire house remains 100% controllable. Zero cloud account required to flip a light switch.
Brilliant & Android Panels
The Legacy FailureHeavy Android runtimes that suffer memory leaks, thermal throttling inside enclosed wall boxes, and slow 60-second boots.
Taps travel up to AWS servers and back down. If the cloud integration hiccup occurs, switches become unresponsive bricks.
Requires bizarre wall cutouts, custom electrical adapters, or only supports European round junction boxes (Shelly).
Proprietary closed protocols, discontinued cloud backends, and subscription paywalls for basic smart home features.
No internet? The panel loses device state, drops connections, and leaves you standing in the dark.
Zero-Cloud Native Protocols
Direct local discovery over mDNS and persistent local socket event streams.
Philips Hue CLIP v2
Local mDNS pairing with persistent SSE event stream. Instantaneous touch-to-illumination.
Home Assistant
Peer integration over local WebSocket subscribe_events. Controls any HA entity without cloud relays.
Sonos Sound
Local UPnP discovery and event subscription. Volume, playback, and whole-house grouping.
Big Ass Fans
Local protocol control for Haiku and I6 fans, Whoosh® breeze generation, and companion lighting.
Hunter Douglas
PowerView Gen 3 local gateway integration for motorized architectural shades.
Matter & Thread
Direct local device commission seam for next-generation unified home automation.
Be First to Replace Your Switch Banks
We are assembling the first manufacturing run of Sconce 1-to-4 gang consoles. Early access includes priority hardware allocation, developer documentation, and direct access to the firmware engineering team.
