Bluetooth mesh for smart homes
MeshSense Home connects room sensors, presence nodes, and pet trackers into a single Bluetooth mesh network. It runs tiny on-device models for activity, sound, and presence — and optionally syncs to the cloud for long-term health and energy insights.
Designed for Home Assistant, local control, and privacy-preserving analytics.
Different node tiers bundle sensor quality, update rates, and on-device algorithms. Build your mesh with the right node in the right room, instead of overpaying for a one-size-fits-all hub.
Entry-tier node for comfort & environment baselining.
Ideal for bedrooms, storage, and low-traffic rooms where you want a stable baseline for temperature and comfort.
Adds richer air quality, audio level sensing, and edge analytics.
Ideal for living rooms and kitchens where air quality and noise quickly change and you want proactive alerts.
Nodes with IMU, orientation, and sound classification for assets, rooms, and pets.
High-resolution presence sensing with room-level people counts.
Map physical events (doors, relays, contacts) into the mesh.
As nodes report activity, presence, and environment changes, the gateway aggregates them into a single timeline. You can fan it out in Home Assistant, a built-in dashboard, or your own backend.
Below is a simulated view of how trackers, presence nodes, and ambient sensors might look when everything is wired up.
Tracker • Fizz
Living room · Tracker node
Activity: playing · near Angel
Presence • Hallway
Hallway · Presence / people
2 people detected · lights on
Ambient • Bedroom

Temp 21.1°C · CO₂ normal
MeshSense nodes use Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) and a Bluetooth Mesh stack so every room can participate in sensing and routing data. Instead of a single hub doing all the work, the mesh spreads sensing and connectivity throughout the space.
Multiple tracker nodes in a room, with distance estimates to a room node and optional UWB direction finding.
Each tracker follows its own path and orientation pattern. In a real deployment, UWB sweeps and mesh RSSI work together with IMU data to tighten direction and room estimates when you need to find a single tracker quickly.
A MeshSense gateway node connects the Bluetooth mesh to your home network. It translates mesh messages into APIs, Home Assistant entities, and optional cloud sync – without forcing you into any single backend.
All-in-one option with a self-hosted database and web UI running directly on the gateway.
Minimal bridge for power users who already have databases, analytics, and models.
A small always-on box (or container on a NAS) with Bluetooth, Ethernet/Wi-Fi, and a tiny database.
For many users, the standard gateway is enough: plug in, join the mesh, add to Home Assistant, and you're done.
Use Gateway Lite if you already have InfluxDB, TimescaleDB, Prometheus, or your own ML pipelines.
MeshSense tracker nodes go beyond “dot on a map”. They combine activity, sound, location, and interactions with other trackers to build a picture of your pet's day — and spot unusual patterns that may indicate health or safety issues.
A simple card for each pet summarizes where they are, what they're doing, and anything that looks unusual — powered by local or optional cloud models.
Fido · Young border collie
Location: Living room · near window
Activity: playing · short bursts of running and shaking toys over last 20 minutes.
Health trend: normal playtime for this hour based on the last 30 days.
Rover · Senior dog
Location: Bedroom · time in bed: 3.2h
Activity: mostly resting; brief pacing detected near midnight the last few nights.
Gentle alert: pacing at night has increased by 25% compared to last week. Consider checking for discomfort or noise.
Daisy · Indoor/outdoor cat
Location: Yard node · near back door
Activity: roaming; short meows near kitchen door flagged over the last 10 minutes.
Interaction: recently near Fido in the yard · “playful” pattern, no distress sounds detected.
Under the hood, each card is built from streaming activity labels, sound events, room transitions, and ambient conditions – not raw IMU or audio data.
Dedicated presence nodes are tuned for detecting people in a space, even when they are sitting still. Use them for occupancy-aware lighting, HVAC, and long-term usage analytics.
Install presence nodes above desks and in doorways. Use the mesh to drive “occupied” scenes, ventilation boosts, and end of day shutdown.
GPIO nodes expose input and output pins to take arbitrary physical events into the mesh: door contacts, float switches, leak sensors, or relays. Configure them from your dashboard without re-flashing.
Combine door contacts, leak sensors, and a relay output to monitor the garage and utility room. Trigger automations via Home Assistant.
Start with local dashboards and grow into multi-month analytics, occupancy reports, and exportable history. All plans support local control; cloud adds insights and convenience, not lock-in.
Local dashboards, no-frills monitoring.

MeshSense Home exposes your nodes as standard entities. Use them in Home Assistant automations, dashboards, and scenes without custom hacks.
Each tile is a room with MeshSense nodes. Occupied rooms glow and show live-ish temperature.
In the full app, this view is driven by presence nodes, tracker nodes, and basic sensors to show comfort and occupancy per room.
Use presence nodes to decide when a room is truly empty, tracker nodes to know which pets or devices are present, and Sense nodes to gauge comfort.
