One home. One system.
Lights, heat, shades, water, cameras and locks on a single platform that runs on a hub in your building — and keeps running when the internet does not.
- Locally owned, Saskatoon
- Runs on your hub
- No forced subscriptions
Most smart homes are a drawer of apps that do not speak to each other, tied to a company that can switch them off.
KeenAi One puts the intelligence in your building, on hardware you own, speaking standards anyone can service.
Doors lock. Lights fade. Heat sets back. Water shuts off.
Say it, tap it, or say nothing at all — the same routine can run on a schedule, on a sensor, or when the last person leaves.
One app, every room
Lighting, set and forgotten
Scenes for morning, evening and away. The wall switches still work as switches — nobody has to learn an app to turn a light on.
Heat that knows the season
Zone-by-zone control for furnace, in-floor and heat pump. Set back when the house is empty, warm before anyone is home.
Water, caught early
Sensors under sinks, behind toilets and at the tank. A leak closes the main valve and tells your phone — whether you are home or not.
Doors that keep a record
Codes for family, temporary codes for guests and trades. You can see who came and went, and revoke a code without changing a lock.
It lives here, not in someone’s cloud
A hub in your mechanical room runs the automations, the schedules and the local assistant. No internet required to turn on a light.
Three things that make it different
Local
The reasoning about your home happens in your home. Lose the connection and the building carries on exactly as before.
Open
Zigbee, Z-Wave, Matter, Thread and plain IP. Mix brands freely, and bring equipment somebody else installed.
Yours
You own the hardware and the system runs without a subscription. Any competent professional can service it — including one who is not us.
Intelligence that advises
The assistant reads the state of your home, explains it, and drafts automations. A deterministic rule engine does the acting.
It cannot unlock a door or change your heating on its own. Anything safety-related needs a written rule or your approval. That is a design decision, not a limitation we are working around.
Where it runs
Houses
New builds and retrofits. One system instead of twelve apps.
Rental & short-term
Guest codes that expire, heat limits, leak protection, and no keys to hand over.
RTM & modular
Fitted at the factory and commissioned once the building lands on site.
Commercial
Offices, clinics and multi-unit buildings, with per-site access. See commercial systems.
Three tiers, one system
The tier changes what is included. The platform underneath does not — so moving up later is a change of entitlement, not a rebuild.
Standard
The foundation
Core control for lighting, climate and a hub that runs it all locally.
Enhanced
Most chosen
Adds security, cameras, access control and leak protection with automatic shut-off.
Premium
Whole building
Shades, audio, energy monitoring, multi-site access and the local assistant.
We quote per building after walking it. We do not publish a price for a system whose scope we have not seen.
How a project runs
Assessment
We walk the building and find out what is actually there.
Design
A written scope: what goes where, and what it does not do.
Installation
Cabling, mounting, configuration and testing. Everything labelled.
Handover
Documentation, credentials, and training for whoever lives with it.
Works with what you already own
KeenAi One speaks open standards instead of one manufacturer’s private protocol. That is why it runs a rental suite, a ready-to-move house and an office on the same system — and why you are not locked to us, or to any single brand.
A sample, not the whole list — KeenAi One reaches thousands of products through open standards including Zigbee, Z-Wave, Matter, Thread, KNX, Modbus and BACnet, plus equipment somebody else installed. Naming a product here means it works with KeenAi One; it implies no partnership, dealership or endorsement in either direction. Ask about a specific brand and we will tell you honestly whether it works fully, partly, or not at all.
Common questions
Is KeenAi One an alternative to Control4 or RTI?
Yes. Same job — one app and one system for lighting, climate, shades, audio, security and sensors — without tying you to one manufacturer’s catalogue or dealer network. The difference is that the intelligence runs on a hub in your building, and we own the platform, so we can change it.
What happens when the internet goes out?
The building keeps working. Automations, schedules, scenes, the wall panel and the local assistant all run on your hub. You lose remote access and push alerts, and both return by themselves when the connection does.
Can the AI unlock my door or change my heating on its own?
No, and that is deliberate. The assistant can read your home’s state, explain it and draft automations, but a deterministic rule engine does the acting. Anything safety-related needs a written rule or your explicit approval.
Does my data leave the house?
The assistant runs on your hub, so the reasoning about your home happens in your home. What leaves is only what the service you asked for needs: system health so we can support you, and alerts you asked to receive.
Do I need a monthly subscription?
The system runs without one — it is on your hub and it is yours. Monitoring, alerting and support are a service we offer, and what that costs depends on the building. You will know exactly what is included before committing.
Can you take over a system somebody else installed?
Often, yes. If the devices use open standards — Zigbee, Z-Wave, Matter, or ordinary IP — they can usually be brought onto KeenAi One and keep working. Proprietary equipment is case by case, and we will tell you honestly if the answer is no.
Does it work in a Saskatchewan winter?
The hub and controls live inside. Outdoor equipment is specified for the climate and cable entries are sealed properly, because that is where cold-weather installs actually fail. Heating and in-floor systems are among the most common things we automate here.
Is this only for large homes?
No. The same platform runs a rental suite, a ready-to-move house, an office and an estate — the tier changes, the system does not. Some of the most useful installs we do are small.
See it running before you decide
The most useful first step is a walk-through of your building. No obligation, and you will get a straight answer about what is worth doing.
