Robonomics 5.0, part three: the devices and the people who use them
The last part of the series: the Altruist sensors that sit on balconies and desks, how their firmware is built and delivered, how every unit is tested before it ships, and what people see on sensors.social and in the new Android app.
Robonomics 5.0, part two: one signed envelope, from the sensor to the chain
The connectivity layer of Robonomics 5.0: a protobuf envelope the sensor signs once and nobody re-encodes, a message format squeezed to fit a LoRa packet, and a cloud pipeline that writes compressed batches of signed readings straight into the CPS pallet.
robonomics.app, feature by feature: what the app does today and what we fixed
A walk through every screen of robonomics.app — the subscription, setups, the Home Assistant control panel, sensor pages — plus the broken links we fixed this week and the list of what comes next.

I’ve been living with two Altruist bundles for almost three months now. Urban (dust, temperature, humidity, noise) on the veranda and in the kids’ room. Insight (CO2, VOC, temperature, humidity) in the kids’ room and the living room. … Home Assistant automations I’ve added along the way: floor lighting with an LED strip — red means don’t go outside, green means the air is fine. …
One street. Three locations. Different data. Urban walk with Altruist Environmental Monitor on Mariahilfer Straße, Vienna 🇦🇹 Delivery trucks were louder than a construction site, while particle levels stayed within normal range. Your environment can change within just a few meters.
Smart home in every one of 50 apartments — delivered by Pinout in Q3 2025 - Q1 2026. 🇨🇾 Residence 28, Limassol — CCS Stylianides Group 🇨🇾 Qube Residences, Paphos — INEX Group Fully local Home Assistant. Zigbee 3.0 everywhere. No cloud, no subscriptions, no vendor lock-in. Built by robotics engineers for people who actually live here.
More sensors. Less map clutter. sensors.social v4.1 groups nearby devices from the same owner, adds sensor-type icons, improves data quality warnings, and brings richer sharing previews.
Yesterday I was busy unloading 1150 kg of goods for the first @pinoutcloud contract 🤪 This is how much hardware is needed for 28 apartments
This summer we built Robonomics 5.0. Not a rebrand — a change in what the protocol is for: from a parachain with robotics pallets to infrastructure for cyber-physical systems. Part 1 of 3: the protocol
