Know who's home – when it matters most. eSphere transforms your home into a presence-aware space, so you always know who's there, who just arrived, and when something needs a quick check-in. No constant alerts. Just calm, real-time awareness powered by AI and two Halo Connect sensors. Whether you're checking on the kids after school, making sure your in-laws arrived safely, or confirming your dogwalker came, took Fido out, and brought him back home, eSphere gives you the context you actually need — without invading anyone's privacy. WHY ESPHERE IS DIFFERENT Most home security apps wait for something to go wrong, then flood you with notifications. Door opened. Window closed. eSphere is built around context. It learns who belongs in your home, recognizes the visitors you trust, and speaks up when there's something worth telling you about. It's awareness, not surveillance. WHAT YOU CAN DO ● Resident Detection — Real-time awareness of when family members are home, away, or just walked through the door, with timestamps. ● Visitor Detection — See when guests arrive and leave so you can keep tabs on the nanny, dog walker, or visiting family without needing constant text check-ins. ● Untrusted Visitor Alerts — Flag untrusted individuals (like your daughter’s ex-boyfriend) and get an instant notification when a new device joins the network. ● Activity Timeline — A clean, chronological view of comings and goings across residents, friends, and guests. ● SmartChat — Send a quick check-in or "I'm running late" with one tap. ● Daily Patterns — eSphere quietly learns your household's rhythm and helps you notice when something feels off. PLUG IN. PAIR. DONE. 1. Plug two Halo Connect sensors into optimally located indoor outlets. 2. Download the eSphere app and create an account. 3. Scan, pair, and you're done — usually in just a few minutes. No tools. No installer. No drilling. Homes need two sensors for accurate, whole-home coverage; larger homes (3,500+ sq ft) may need three or more. PRIVACY-FIRST BY DESIGN eSphere uses ambient Wi-Fi and Bluetooth signals plus geolocation to understand presence — no microphones, nothing watching or listening. Your home stays your home. WHAT YOU'LL NEED ● An eSphere subscription from your Internet Service Provider ● Halo Connect sensors (minimum of two) ● Home Wi-Fi (keep your network name and password handy) ● A recent version of iOS Have questions about set-up, sensor placement, or privacy? Visit esphere.io for more information or contact your Internet Service Provider support team directly from the app. The eSphere Home. Every home. Every context. Every moment that matters.
