Local first
Any feature that can run on the gateway, must run on the gateway. The cloud mirrors state; it never owns it. This is why outages are boring for our customers.
About AetherHome Cloud
European engineering for the connected home
We are CloudCore Casa Solutions GmbH, operating from Munich since 2021. We build the cloud layer for homes that must work — even when the internet doesn't.

Our Story
Built by infrastructure engineers, not gadget makers
AetherHome started in 2021 as an internal tool: our founding team ran building-automation systems for commercial properties across Bavaria and grew tired of smart-home clouds that required inbound port forwards, hosted data in questionable jurisdictions and stopped working whenever a vendor lost interest.
We took the opposite approach. Devices execute their own rules locally. The cloud is a mirror, not a dependency. Every byte is encrypted with keys we cannot read. And the entire platform — from Munich office to Frankfurt data center — stays inside the European Union, under European law, forever.
Today the platform mirrors over 24,800 households and several hundred commercial buildings. Our NOC watches the fleet around the clock, publishes honest postmortems for every incident above 5 minutes, and ships signed firmware updates on a strict four-week cadence.
We are 34 people — firmware, backend, security and support — deliberately staying at a size where every engineer can name every customer-facing component they ship.
Infrastructure
EU-Central data center architecture
Three independent facilities, two active-active regions, one jurisdiction.
Frankfurt FRA-1 (Primary)
Tier III colocation, 2N power, carrier-neutral. Runs the MQTT broker fleet and telemetry time-series cluster. Peering at DE-CIX.
Munich MUC-2 (Active-Active)
Synchronous replication partner to FRA-1. Serves API and WebSocket edge for southern Germany, Austria and Switzerland.
Zurich ZRH-1 (Replica & DR)
Asynchronous encrypted replica with quarterly full-region failover drills. Cold-standby capacity for both primary regions.
| Property | Value |
|---|---|
| Uptime SLA (Fleet plan) | 99.98% monthly, with service credits |
| Data replication | Synchronous FRA ↔ MUC, async to ZRH (< 4 s lag) |
| Power | 2N UPS + diesel; 100% renewable energy contracts |
| Certifications | ISO/IEC 27001, ISO/IEC 27017, SOC 2 Type II (annual) |
| Data jurisdiction | Germany & Switzerland only — no extra-EU transfer, ever |
Philosophy
How we engineer
Honest status
Public postmortems within 5 business days for any incident over 5 minutes. Root cause, timeline and concrete fixes — written by the engineers who were on call.
No surprise sunsets
Every hardware product is guaranteed 8 years of security updates from its launch date, contractually. If we ever shut a service down, you get your data and a migration path first.
