The hub

Three protocols. One small puck on the shelf.

Smart-home gear ships in walled gardens. Lintel sits underneath all of them, translating in real time so every device behaves like it was made by the same company.

01 · Interoperability

One hub, every ecosystem — at the same time.

Lintel is a certified Matter controller and a Thread border router. Pair a sensor once and it shows up in Apple Home, Google Home and Alexa together — no bridge per brand, no picking a side. The bulbs you already own keep working; the next ones just snap in.

02 · Local-first

It works when the internet doesn't.

The automations engine runs on the hub itself — not a server you've never seen. When your router reboots or the fibre cuts out, your sunset lights, motion rules and the dial keep firing. The cloud is optional; the house is not.

Automations run locally 100%

Every rule executes on-device — zero round-trips to the cloud.

03 · The dial

A physical dial for the scene you use most.

The top of the hub is a precision encoder ring. Twist it to dim, press it to trigger your favorite scene — "Movie", "Goodnight", "Focus" — without unlocking a phone or saying a wake word. It sits where you walk past it, and it just clicks.

The app

Set it up once. Mostly forget the app exists.

The Lintel app is for the ten minutes of setup and the occasional tweak — not daily babysitting. Build a routine in plain language, then let the hub run it.

Rooms

Group devices by space; control a whole room with one tap.

Devices

Every paired product in one list — firmware, battery, signal.

Automations builder

If-this-then-that rows you stack into routines — no scripting.

Energy view

See draw per device and the hub's own steady 2.4 W.

"Leaving home" routine

One tap or a geofence locks up, drops the thermostat and arms sensors as you walk out the door.

Tech specs

Every number, on the table.

No asterisks. This is exactly what's inside the LTL-100 — radios, dimensions and the power it draws while running your whole home.

Where it earns its spot

One puck, a calmer house.

The entryway

Walk in, the dial press kills "Away" and lifts the lights to "Welcome".

Movie night

Twist to dim, press for "Movie" — blinds down, lamps to 8%, TV on.

Mornings

A 6:40 routine warms the bathroom and eases the bedroom from dark.

Leaving home

Cross the geofence — locks engage, heat drops, every light goes out.

"I had a Hue bridge, a SmartThings dongle and an Echo all fighting each other. Lintel ate all three. The dial by the door is the thing my partner actually uses."

"Our broadband drops most evenings. With Lintel the motion lights and the goodnight routine never even noticed. That alone was worth the $199."

Questions

The five we get most.

Still unsure? Our team replies within a day at [email protected].

Does it work with Apple Home and Google at the same time? +

Yes — that's the whole point. Lintel is a certified Matter controller, so a single device can be exposed to Apple Home, Google Home and Alexa simultaneously. Pair a sensor once on the hub and it appears in every app you use, with no need to re-onboard it per ecosystem.

What happens to my automations if the internet goes down? +

They keep running. The automations engine and your scenes are stored on the hub's 8 GB of local storage and execute on-device. Motion rules, schedules, the sunset routine and the physical dial all continue working with no internet at all. Cloud connectivity only matters for remote control from outside the house and for app notifications.

Is there a subscription? +

No. Lintel is $199 once, and that is the entire cost. Because every automation runs locally on the hardware, there is no server we need to fund with a recurring fee — so there is no subscription, no premium tier, and no feature locked behind a paywall. Firmware updates are free for the life of the product.

What are Matter and Thread — do I need new devices? +

Matter is the industry standard that lets smart devices from different brands speak one common language; Thread is a low-power mesh network many of them use. You do not need to replace anything — Lintel also bridges Wi-Fi and Bluetooth LE devices, and works with the bulbs, plugs and sensors you already own. New Matter and Thread gear simply pairs faster.

How is my data handled — does it leave the house? +

Device state, automation logic and sensor history stay on the hub. Lintel never sells data and never uses your home for advertising. The only thing that leaves your network is the encrypted relay needed when you control the home remotely — and you can disable remote access entirely and run the hub fully offline if you prefer.
