Product status
What is available now?
- Working today
Working today means the expressive face has been demonstrated on a real Oneira device.
- Connected beta
Connected beta features require the Oneira app, internet access, a compatible service, and permissions you approve. They can change and may not work with every service.
The short answer
Oneira ships smart-home control with scene-style commands, and movie mode is the named example. What a command reaches depends on the setup, accounts, and permissions you configure — no platform-level compatibility claims are published.

Dual AI chip, OLED screen, and 1K camera
The working prototype includes a dual AI chip, OLED screen, and 1K camera. The dual AI chip, OLED screen, and 1K camera are included in the $80 Founding Unit; only the final 1K camera module may change before fulfillment.
See included hardwareOptional connected services
Optional compatible connected services can extend Oneira when you choose. Setup, permissions, internet access, service terms, accounts, usage, and fees remain separate. Connected experiences work only with compatible services the owner deliberately configures. Oneira does not connect automatically to every service.
See compatible connectionsCompatible connected tools
Compatible connected tools are optional and owner-configured. Nothing is preconfigured, and universal compatibility is not promised.

The 1K camera supports deliberate, owner-triggered experiences. Optional Dream creation can transform a photo when the owner chooses it.

Optional helper experiences have narrow, visible limits. Broader research, coding, and workspace actions remain in development.
Understand the agent pathScene thinking
One command sets the room, not one bulb.
Scene control is the idea worth buying: one command moves several devices to a state you decided in advance. That is a different product from a remote that toggles one bulb at a time.
A companion-shaped controller changes when the command happens. A palm-sized object already near you takes the request without a phone unlock, an app grid, and a scroll past everything else.
On Oneira
Smart-home control ships, movie mode included.
Oneira ships smart-home control today, and it includes a scene with a name you already understand: movie mode. One command, and the devices you wired into the scene move to the state you chose for a film.
What movie mode does in your home is decided by your configuration, because that is the true shape of all smart-home control — the device sends the commands you set up, and your setup decides what they reach.
Your wiring
Connections are built, not assumed.
Every connection runs on your own setup, accounts, and permissions, configured deliberately in the Oneira app. The app routes requests only to services you connected, and an agent can act on a service only if you granted it that ability.
No platform-level compatibility claims are published, so this guide names none. Before buying any controller for one specific system, check the current documentation against the setup you actually run.

Questions, answered
The details that decide a purchase.
Can Oneira control a smart home?
Yes — smart-home control ships on Oneira, including scene-style commands. It operates through the setup, accounts, and integrations you configure yourself.
What does movie mode do?
Whatever your configuration says. Movie mode ships by name as a scene; the devices it reaches and the state it sets are decided by what you connected and how you built the scene.
Does it work with my existing smart-home platform?
No platform-level compatibility claims are published, and this guide will not invent one. Check the current Oneira documentation against your specific setup before buying for one system.
Are there costs beyond the $139 device?
No Oneira subscription is required for the core product. Smart-home hardware, hubs, and any third-party accounts or fees in your setup are yours.
Can it change my home without me?
The app applies your permissions, and requests route only to services you deliberately configured. Nothing acquires control you did not grant.
