Local-first infrastructure.
Based in Woburn, MA, Tensorcode builds high-performance residential networks and automation systems. We specialize in eliminating cloud dependencies through localized hardware, Z-Wave networks, and custom 3D-printed integrations.
Our philosophy is simple: smart homes shouldn't break when the internet goes down. We design robust architectures using Home Assistant, enterprise-grade UniFi equipment, and bespoke mechanical mounts to ensure absolute reliability and data privacy.
Deployment Logs
1960s Split-Level Modernization
Complete smart lighting retrofit for a 1962 property undergoing extensive structural renovation. Replaced legacy wiring with Z-Wave Plus dimmers alongside custom recessed LED ceiling installations. The entire lighting topology operates locally on a dedicated Home Assistant OS server, ensuring instant response times without cloud polling.
PoE Surveillance & Backbone
Designed and deployed a hardwired IP camera system utilizing Power over Ethernet. Segregated all IoT traffic onto a strict VLAN to prevent unauthorized WAN access. Pulled new Cat6 runs to a centralized switch, establishing a highly secure and reliable NVR setup that remains fully functional offline.
Bespoke Rack Infrastructure
Engineered custom mounting hardware for off-the-shelf networking bridges and smart home hubs that lacked standard rack ears. Prototyped in Tinkercad and printed using high-infill PETG for thermal stability inside a localized server closet.
