The Technology Behind Custos Hub by Rockwell

Professional-grade hardware. Professionally installed.

Custos Hub by Rockwell runs on professional-grade Z-Wave 800 Long Range hardware, configured and installed in your home by Rockwell for environmental and activity awareness.

Why Z-Wave 800 Long Range

Built for reliability, not just convenience.

Off-the-shelf consumer gadgets are built to be easy to buy. Custos Hub sensors communicate with the hub over a dedicated local network. Remote alerts depend on power and connectivity.

No WiFi Dependency

The sensors communicate over a dedicated Z-Wave network rather than your home WiFi. Remote alerts still depend on power and connectivity.

Range and Penetration

Rockwell checks sensor communication at the agreed locations during setup, including basements, garages, and other areas included in the layout.

Battery Powered

Each sensor runs on long-life batteries, so there is no wiring to install and a device can go anywhere it is needed, even where there is no outlet nearby.

Hardware We Carry and Install

The devices Rockwell deploys and manages inside your home.
Devices That Pay AttentionThe awareness layer, reporting quietly in the background.

Hub Controller

The brain of Custos Hub. It processes every sensor signal in the home and connects them to the Rockwell platform, so meaningful events reach us.

Environmental Sensor

Environmental awareness in a single device: motion, temperature, humidity, and light levels, so the Hub reads the everyday conditions of each room.

Environmental awareness Model ZSE11-800LR

Door and Window Sensor

Door and window activity awareness, using door and window contact events to support household activity awareness.

Water Leak Sensor

Water sensors placed under sinks, behind appliances, and near water heaters send water-contact events to the hub for configured alerts.

Tilt and Shock Sensor

Awareness for the places a door sensor cannot reach: a garage door left open overnight, a shed or outbuilding disturbed, or secured storage that moves when it should not.

Hands-Free Voice

A speaker and microphone paired with the hub. The resident says a wake word they choose to place a two-way call to someone on their own call list. No pendant or wearable. No audio is stored. Not an emergency service and does not call 911.

Hands-free voice calling How hands-free calling works

The installed sensor layout is agreed with the household. Core awareness covers temperature, humidity, water and leaks. Full awareness covers seven categories: environmental (temperature, humidity), water and leaks, entry and access, air quality, activity patterns, appliance safety, and emergency alert coordination. No cameras, video, or biometric data, and no audio is stored.

Alerts go to Rockwell and the household's listed contacts at the same time. Rockwell reviews during business hours: weekdays 5 to 9 pm, weekends 8 am to 6 pm Central, closed federal holidays. Outside those hours, contacts are alerted directly and Rockwell follows up when hours begin. Call 911 first, then call Rockwell.

How It Gets Installed

Professionally installed, validated before we leave.

Rockwell sets up and services the agreed Custos Hub sensors, checks their reporting, and documents the layout with your consent. Our other hands-on work is limited to safety consultations, check-ins, equipment pickup, and grab bar installation by approved written quote. Other work is coordinated through vendors.

What the Hub pays attention to, and how your family stays informed, is decided by the household, not by us. The technology is here to support independence and dignity at home, on the terms of the person who lives there.

Part of Custos Hub by Rockwell

Custos Hub by Rockwell is part of the agreed service plan. A one-time setup fee is quoted per home before signing, with the $150 audit credited toward it. Rockwell owns and loans the equipment and picks it up when the plan ends. No installments, financing, or balance owed. Rockwell never charges for wear, loss, or damage. No fee of any kind applies if the resident moves into care or passes away.

Start Where Every Rockwell Relationship Starts

Custos Hub comes with your monthly plan, and every plan begins with a $150 Home Safety and Readiness Audit. We walk the home, learn what matters to you, and recommend the level of awareness that fits the life lived inside it.
