Four choices — no upsell tricks.

Every tier is priced from the factory cost up. We publish the parts list and the margin. No fake "premium" features invented to push you to the next tier — only real material and capability differences.

What makes it different

Why it's built this way.

A smart home should keep being smart when the internet goes out. Every feature below ships working on a disconnected hub.

No. 01
Your AI lives at home
A private voice assistant, home automation, and media all run on your network. The only things that go to the cloud are things you explicitly send.
No. 02
Works with what you have
Matter, Thread, Zigbee, HomeKit, Google Home, Alexa, Home Assistant — all real, all supported. No forced migration. No walled garden.
No. 03
Upgradeable, not obsolescable
Components are replaceable. Firmware is open. A Hub bought in 2028 will still be running in 2038.
What we won't do
  • We won't require an internet connection — the home keeps working when the ISP doesn't.
  • We won't make you create an account — your hub is yours the moment it powers on.
  • We won't send your voice to a data center — wake-word and transcription run on the hub.
How it plays with others

Three ways to use it, no walled garden.

This product works by itself, works with whatever you already own, and goes deeper if you pair it with the rest of the WanderVerse. Your choice — not ours.

On its own
Standalone

Power it up and use it. No cloud account, no internet required.

Your dollar knows where it goes.

Every WanderNode Hub sale feeds three places: the Ambassador who built it, a community-held HYSA, and the WWP 501(c)(3) Community Pool — which funds LGBTQ+ scholarships, free devices for survivors, and harm-reduction grants. No quarterly earnings call. No activist investor. No rug-pull.

60% Ambassador wages
10% PrideFund HYSA
30% WWP Community Pool

All three splits go to work before a single dollar reaches Michael. He gets paid by W-2 from the LLC, like anyone else.

Honest timeline

Ship dates that haven't been promised yet.

We will not crowdfund and then ghost you. The timeline below is what the engineering, compliance, and sourcing work actually requires — not a date invented to create urgency.

2026 late
Spec freeze — parts list locked, compliance pathway filed, factory RFQs out.
2027 spring
Engineering prototypes built — first real units to test in the lab and at home.
2027 fall
Design validation — second round of prototypes, certification labs engaged.
2028 summer
Pilot production — first 500 units manufactured as a trial batch.
2028 fall
Founders' Access shipping — limited-run, priced to recover factory costs only.
