Aida Commissioner
Assign serials on a cable pull, push Excel configuration, and write Cluster IDs to devices on site.
Aida Home is the residential product line for MHT INX lighting and shades. It covers field commissioning of nodes and day-to-day control from voice assistants and Home Assistant without deploying a full building controller.
Aida Home is cluster-first: rooms and zones (for example “Kitchen” or “Living Room”) are the control targets, not individual PoE nodes. Commissioner writes the Cluster ID onto each device during install; Home Hub uses that same name for voice and automation.
Overview
Assign serials on a cable pull, push Excel configuration, and write Cluster IDs to devices on site.
Bridge Alexa, Google Home, Apple Home / Siri, and Home Assistant to INX clusters on the home LAN.
| Product | Audience | Role |
|---|---|---|
| Aida Commissioner | Installers and field technicians | Assign serials on a cable pull, push Excel configuration, write Cluster IDs to devices |
| Aida Home Hub | Homeowners and site operators | Bridge Alexa, Google Home, Apple Home / Siri, and Home Assistant to INX clusters |
Rooms become the voice and automation targets — not individual PoE nodes.
Expose clusters to Alexa, Google Home, and Apple Home / Siri.
Matter and MQTT make the same rooms available to Home Assistant.
Install on the home LAN and register the same cluster names.
Define human-readable cluster names in the configuration Excel (Cluster ID column).
Use Aida Commissioner on site to bind serials and push config, including cluster membership.
Cluster ID is written onto each INX device during install.
Home Hub exposes those rooms to voice assistants and Home Assistant.
Every cluster name is based on the same string: Excel Cluster ID, device keyw, and Home Hub cluster name.
Most homes with professional lighting and shades still need either a full commercial controller or a tangle of per device apps. Aida Home is built for residences and small LANs: commission the nodes in the field, then let Home Hub present rooms to the assistants people already use.
The result is a house that responds as Kitchen, Living Room, and Patio not as a list of PoE serial numbers with no BMS or BACnet required.
Aida Home vs Aida Controller
For commercial buildings, start with Aida Controller. For homes and small installs that need voice or Home Assistant, use Aida Home.
