Workshop note for bead `48082c7e-edaa-465a-a49b-27363f727964`.
## The frame A home full of **sensors and actuators** — doorbell, lock, camera, intercom, projected surfaces — with the convenience of a big-tech "home hub," but **inverted**: no vendor cloud, no rented identity. Every device is a **resource at a URI** in your own namespace; capability is **capability-scoped tokens**; coordination is **acequia groups**; the home's logic is **agents**, not someone else's server. (Mental model only — *don't name the incumbent* in the product copy.)
## Built on the four substrates (+ renderer) | Substrate | Role in Acequia Home | |-----------|----------------------| | **acequia** | identity (self-sovereign keys), capability-scoped WebDAV (`?token=` writes, public reads), groups for signaling, the namespace every device lives in | | **realtime.earth (rte)** | spatial + realtime state — where devices are (map/placement), live presence, the streaming substrate for intercom/sensors | | **anysurface** | any display/projection surface as an output device — a wall, a phone, a table — a butler stream or a UI can render *anywhere* on the mesh | | **agentscript** | the home's behaviors as agents — detection→action rules, escalation, the "butler" | | **taos-engine** | the renderer for **anysurface** — draws the scene/stream onto whatever surface is bound | The doorbell already embodies the acequia parts (device GUID, scoped-token WebDAV logging, public discovery, map placement). rte/anysurface/agentscript/taos are the named-but-not-yet-wired roadmap.
## The device suite (sheet plates) 1. **Doorbell** — *LIVE*. Mic + few-shot bell recognition (YAMNet), multi-bell, map, device-GUID cloud log. → `redfish.acequia.io/guerin/apps/doorbell`. (bead `883c513f…`) 2. **Doorlock** — *in design*. Capability-delegated unlock (attenuated, short-TTL, headgate-revocable). 3. **Intercom / Butler** — *in design*. Two-way A/V over acequia groups + WebRTC; remote butler renders the door stream on **any surface** (phone, wall) via taos-engine; uses any mic/cam on rte. 4. **Surfaces (anysurface)** — *in design*. Bind any display/projection as a home output. 5. **Geo-Camera** — *LIVE*. A located, oriented camera/phone as a shareable network resource. → `https://geo.camera/`. (geo.camera project) 6. **Alert Live** — *LIVE (via incident-viewer for now)*. Live situational awareness — drape streaming aerial FMV + sensor feeds onto incident terrain in 3D. → `https://redfish.acequia.io/guerin/apps/incident-viewer/` (taos-engine; beads `c66cbd1d` / `cbf8b027`). Branded "Alert Live"; the incident viewer is today's implementation. 7. **Room-Painter** — *in design (grayed)*. Author what each surface in a room shows; content bound to the space, not a single screen. (anysurface · taos-engine) (1–4 trace to the doorbell bead's 6-epic roadmap; 5–6 fold existing live apps into the line. This product line is that roadmap + the live apps, branded.)
## Landing-page deploy `acequia.org/home/index.html` — deployed via HostGo WebDAV (port 2078, `guerin@acequia.org`, root = doc root, no `public_html` prefix; MKCOL `home/` then PUT). Anon GET 200. `acequia.org` is a **writable** site (site-inventory), distinct from the write-protected `acequia.io`. Single self-contained file (inline SVG line-art, Google Fonts: Cormorant Garamond + IBM Plex Mono).
## Landing page `acequia.org/home/` — an **architectural drafting sheet** (Harvard-GSD aesthetic): cream vellum, hairline ink, axonometric/elevation line-art per device, dimension callouts, a substrate "legend," and a GSD title block. Apps are "details/plates" on the sheet; the doorbell plate is LIVE and links to its deployment. Design language is reusable as each app gets its own card.
## Open - Wire rte/anysurface/agentscript/taos beyond naming. - Whether Acequia Home gets its own subdomain later vs staying at `acequia.org/home`.
