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, the same class of technology trusted by commercial security and building automation, now configured and installed in your home by Rockwell.

Why Z-Wave 800 Long Range

Built for reliability, not just convenience.

Off-the-shelf consumer gadgets are built to be easy to buy. The hardware inside Custos Hub is built to keep working quietly for years, on a dedicated network that does not depend on your home internet.

No WiFi Dependency

The sensors communicate over a dedicated Z-Wave network rather than your home WiFi. If the internet goes down, the Hub keeps paying attention to the home.

Range and Penetration

Z-Wave 800 Long Range carries signals through walls and across floors that consumer devices struggle to reach, so coverage holds in basements, garages, and far corners of the home.

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, so the daily rhythm of the home reads as ordinary and anything out of the ordinary surfaces early.

Activity awareness Model ZSE41-800LR

Water Leak Sensor

Early leak detection placed where water trouble starts: under sinks, behind appliances, and near water heaters, so a problem is caught while it is still small.

Environmental awareness Model ZSE42-800LR

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.

Devices That ActWhen awareness is not enough, the home can respond.

Water Shutoff Valve Actuator

Mounts over the existing main water valve and can close the supply when a leak is detected. No plumbing is cut to install it, and the valve can still be operated by hand at any time.

Smart Light Switch

Replaces an existing wall switch to bring up hallway and stairway lighting as evening settles in and quiet the house down at night. A well-lit path is one of the simplest safety upgrades a home can have.

Safety and independence Z-Wave smart switches and dimmers

Blind and Shade Controller

Adds motorized control to blinds and shades, so window coverings ease open with the morning and close as evening comes on. No reaching, climbing, or cords to manage.

This is what we carry today, and the list keeps growing. Custos Hub is built on an open professional standard with hundreds of compatible devices, so if your home needs something that is not listed here, ask us. There is a good chance we can source it, install it, and manage it alongside everything else.

How It Gets Installed

Professionally installed, validated before we leave.

Rockwell deploys every device, configures it for your home, and confirms each one is reporting correctly before we leave. There is no box of parts and no app for you to figure out yourself. We place each sensor where it does the most good, with your consent and on your terms, and we document the layout so the system stays accountable to you.

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.
