A built-in socket with the same local Away logic and a discreet control in the faceplate: the permanent, integrated direction.
Concept · In development
Local-first household power control
One industrial red button by the front door. The starter kit is simple: one press and every connected adapter is off. This house shows the future ecosystem.
Future ecosystem conceptInteractive simulation · not a live installation
Home. Normal operation. Every participating node is enabled. 12 of 12 nodes powered, drawing 4,425 watts in this simulation. Aggregate load indicator: moderate.

01 Control
Master Switch is being designed around a physical action, not an account. One button by the front door talks directly to the nodes in your home, on your own premises. Nothing has to leave the building for the lights to go out.
Cloud · not in the loop
Designed to keep working with the internet down, or with no internet connection at all.
The button is the interface. Nobody needs a phone, a login or a tutorial to leave the house.
Hardware you own. Its core function is not planned to depend on a recurring fee.
02 Feedback
Each participating node is planned to measure its load in real time and show it exactly where it is drawn: one ring of colour on the socket itself, changing as the load changes. Glance across a room and know what is working hard.
One socket · one indicator · four states
Energy, not faults
The ring shows how much power a node is drawing, nothing else. It is not an electrical fault, safety or protection indicator. Thresholds shown here are illustrative and will be defined during development.
03 Starter kit
The first product is deliberately simple: one Master controller, three plug-in adapters, one button. From there it is meant to grow with the house, not replace it.

Aggregate · Low03/ 03
One press switches every connected adapter off. Press again and they are all back on.
03 / 15 adapters
V1 has no modes and no per-outlet settings: every adapter switches together. Anything that must stay powered, such as a refrigerator, an aquarium or the router, simply stays on an ordinary outlet, without an adapter.
Illustrative build with example appliances and wattages. Each ring shows that one appliance's simulated draw. The light on the Master controller summarises consumption across all powered adapters on its own, wider scale; that power is drawn at the outlets, not through the controller, which only coordinates them.
The red button by the front door.
Switch, measure and indicate, right at the socket.
Compatible nodes, added one socket at a time.
V1 · Initial product direction
One Master controller and three plug-in Schuko adapters. One press switches every connected adapter off; the next switches them all back on.
V1 · Expansion
Further compatible adapters join the same controller. The same single button, the same simple on and off.
V2 · Future product direction
Selective AWAY behaviour, a KILL command, and V2 adapters and integrated wall outlets with local configuration. Exploratory: not built or validated.
See the concept04 Future direction
Control what stays on.
The starter kit switches everything together. A possible second generation would let each node decide for itself what happens when the house goes to Away, and add Kill: the one command no setting can override.

Home. Both nodes are enabled.
Future concept: local Away configuration on adapters and integrated outlets is under exploration. Neither device has been prototyped or validated, and these drawings do not show a final design. An app could offer a second way to manage the system, but core control would not depend on a cloud connection.
