RadioDuet is a managed dual-radio platform for building app-connected networks of sensors, motors, cameras and other local wireless devices—without making one radio do both jobs.
Designed from technology already operating across several real-world connected-device projects.
Most gateways ask a single 2.4 GHz radio to hold an internet connection and listen for local devices at the same time. Two well-known problems follow—and both disappear when each job gets its own radio.
On one chip, local ESP-NOW traffic must run on whatever Wi-Fi channel the router chooses—and routers switch channels whenever they like. When that happens, the local link silently breaks, and firmware is left hunting for its own devices.
RadioDuet’s local radio never joins the router’s network, so field devices stay on a channel that never moves.
A radio holding a Wi-Fi connection drops into power-save sleep between beacons—but local events arrive without warning and need the receiver awake. A single chip either misses sensor triggers or fights its own network stack to stay alert.
With a dedicated always-on local processor, nothing is missed, and the internet connection stays efficient.
RadioDuet is being built to take care of the infrastructure that often turns a fast prototype into a long engineering project.
A dedicated processor remains focused on nearby ESP-NOW devices while the second maintains the internet connection.
Receive local events immediately and send app-triggered commands or settings back to field devices.
Upload compiled firmware, maintain separate test and production releases, and see what every device is running.
Track online status, last contact, firmware versions and the health of deployed gateways and local nodes.
A field device detects an event over ESP-NOW. RadioDuet receives it locally, publishes it through MQTT, and can immediately update an app, store the event, trigger a notification or send another command.
Motion is detected, a door opens, a temperature changes, a button is pressed, a camera captures an image or a motor completes an operation.
The dedicated local processor stays focused on nearby devices while the other processor remains connected online.
The event can reach your server, database, dashboard, notification rules or application without interrupting local listening.
Update a screen, change an LED, alert a user, store a history record or send a new instruction back to a field device.
RadioDuet is designed for commands as well as events. A control in the app can travel through MQTT, across the puck and out over ESP-NOW to the selected field device.
The builder defines the actions and limits. RadioDuet provides the managed path between the app and the device.
Projects can report command progress instead of leaving the user to wonder whether a button press reached the device.
Because the local network belongs to the puck—not the customer’s router—sensors can be paired at your bench or production line, and the links survive shipping. Setup for your customer is one step.
Each sensor is linked to its RadioDuet before the product ships—no configuration left for the customer to do.
The customer connects RadioDuet to their local wireless network. That’s the whole setup.
Local devices come alive already talking to their puck, and events start flowing to the app immediately.
RadioDuet is being shaped around the operating tools already used across our own connected-device projects.
See which devices are online, when they last checked in and whether local nodes are still reporting.
Upload a compiled binary, assign the desired version and see what every managed device is actually running.
Keep local development devices on the test release while field devices remain on the current production release.
Local devices can receive an assigned firmware release on their next power cycle or update opportunity.
Change schedules, thresholds and operating behavior without visiting each deployed device.
Give builders and operators a clearer record of what devices reported, what users requested and what completed.
Builders can choose the local boards and hardware that fit their product. RadioDuet focuses on connectivity, management, OTA, MQTT and app control.
The same RadioDuet foundation could support a single prototype or a growing network of devices in the field.
Events from your sensors exist to power your application: your dashboard, your alerts, your history. RadioDuet doesn’t mine device data to build profiles or feed advertising. What happens in your house, shop or field stays your project’s business.
We are shaping the first RadioDuet developer release. Join the list to hear about prototype units, guided MVP projects and early platform access.
