One command builds and starts a Core from a checkout, or installs it as a login service. Your data goes in a folder you choose.
Name the house and yourself, add a passkey with Touch ID, and write down the recovery codes. About a minute.
Other devices at home trust the household certificate once, then use the dashboard. Other Macs back up to it with a token you make in Settings.
The commands are on the Mac page.
Connect power and, if you have it, Ethernet. Wi-Fi works too. The screen wakes and shows a code.
Scan the code with the Woven app, or tap through on the screen if your phone is elsewhere. Name the house and the first person.
The screen says Ready. Devices are discovered as you add them. Nothing has left the house.
Written from the design. No box has been built, so nobody has done this yet.
Yes, the software. Woven Core runs on a Mac with Apple silicon and does everything on this site marked available now: a household with passkeys and per-person spaces, files and photos with search, the Gate with its receipts, encryption at rest, nightly snapshots with a restore drill, remote access, and one switch that stops it all. It costs nothing. The radios, cameras, router, television output and the assistant's model need the box, and the dashboard says so on the screen where each would be.
No. Setup, voice, home control, files, photos and cameras work inside, on your own network. An internet connection is needed for Gate crossings, remote access from outside the house, and software updates.
Nothing changes on the box. Crossings become unavailable and Tandem says so when a job would have needed one. The assistant, storage and home control inside never depend on a subscription.
That is the plan, and none of it is built. Home Assistant is meant to run inside Woven with your configuration imported during setup, and Zigbee networks to migrate with their keys so nothing is re-paired. No integration has been written and no migration has been attempted, so treat this as an intention rather than a feature.
As designed: power down, open the service panel, pull the module by its handle, seat the new one until it locks, power up, and the chassis checks the module's identity and power envelope before household storage unlocks. No chassis or module has been manufactured, so nothing has been swapped or timed.
Yes, at rest by default: the database, every file and the box's private keys are encrypted under a household key. On the Woven box that key lives in the secure element and is released only to an attested compute module; on a Mac running Woven Core it lives in your login Keychain. A drive removed from the chassis, or a copied data folder, cannot be read without it.
Nothing. There is no service collecting anything, and a Core on your Mac reaches us in no way at all. The software can send one line a night saying its version and how long it has been up; that is off unless you turn it on, it goes out through the Gate like anything else, and it leaves a receipt you can read. Diagnostics bundles are written on the box and only leave if you send one.
There is nothing to cancel. A reservation takes no money and, until an ordering service exists, is a note kept in your own browser. When deposits are taken they are refundable any time before shipment, and the balance is charged only when you confirm.
The box tells you when an update is ready and installs it to a second slot, so a failed update rolls back on its own. Release notes and the security support window are published with every update.
