A wireframe sketch building into a solid, shaded cube

A six-stage build line you can run in your browser. Nothing to buy.

Meet your Canary before you meet your Canary

Follow one Canary from bare board to a home it watches over: choose it, shape it, wire it, wake it, welcome it in. Every station runs the real thing in your browser.

Open source. No account; your progress stays in this browser.

The benches

Every hands-on bench in the Lab, one card each. Prefer the guided story?

The bench directory builds itself from the line below. If it hasn't appeared, the full guided line is right here —

It's the real firmware

The display emulator is the shipping C++ compiled to WebAssembly — shims exist only where silicon meets the world. When the firmware changes, the Lab changes with it.

Honesty is enforced

"Verified ✓" in the browser is a real Ed25519 signature check. Release statuses come from the catalog itself. Recommendations never hide "in development".

Local-first, like everything else

The tools fetch only from the project's own pages. Your chooser answers, filament colors and experiments never leave your machine.

Even off the grid, they still find each other

Over Bluetooth, a display hears every nearby Canary directly — who's present, battery and health, a tamper the instant it happens — with no internet, hub, broker or Wi-Fi. Wi-Fi and Home Assistant are the richer channel when they're up. Bluetooth reports are marked unsigned and never wear “Verified ✓”.

Status: built and host-tested, green in CI. The hardware bench pass (docs/hardware/fleet_link_bench_checklist.md) is still pending, so none of this is called hardware-verified yet.

In the nest right now

Pulled live from the project's device registry & enclosure catalog — this section updates itself when the repo does.

Canary WAP

released

Presence through the WiFi field itself — the canary.local dashboard device.

Canary Vision

released

Person detection on the camera's own chip; no pixels leave.

Canary Watch Station

in development

The bedside glance — try its firmware in the Lab today.

Canary Dash

in development

The household poster — every witness on one wall.

Every device in the line, with the status the catalog gives it.
