Watch ControlBird
Narrated build-alongs recorded in the real product. Every click is the product doing the work, not a mockup.
Turn a floor plan into a live control screen with AI
Hand ControlBird AI a building floor plan and it traces the walls and rooms itself, binds each room to the zone that drives it, and adds the lighting and cameras. What comes back is not a diagram: every zone reads its own temperature and airflow, live.
How ControlBird works: one live data store
One live store sits at the center of ControlBird, and every alarm, chart, and dashboard is a reaction to it. See the concept, then watch it hold up on a running system.
A tour of the interface: apps, windows and dashboards
Sign in and take the tour: the start menu and its app groups, windows you arrange like any desktop, and the taskbar that always tells you where you stand.
Connect a Modbus device and read a live value
Run the guided wizard end to end: pick Modbus TCP, point it at a host and port, define one point, and watch the reading arrive and keep updating on its own.
Build an automation rule with a trigger, condition and action
Build a rule chain on the visual canvas: a trigger bound to a live reading, a fresh read, a condition, and an action, then compile it and watch it run.
Query and filter historical data
Everything the platform records is one query away: pick a table, sort the extremes forward, filter to one zone with a SQL clause, and narrow the time window.
Alarm severities, acknowledging and alarm history
Read an alarm row, understand severities, acknowledge on camera, and follow an alarm into its full history, with the operator toolkit along the way.
User roles: owner, operator and viewer
A real team on one site: owners, operators, and viewers, what each role grants, and the break-glass role for protected system pieces.
Limit access by path and see who is signed in
Path-scoped access policies, role hierarchy through subset roles, and the Sessions tab that shows who is actually signed in right now.
Write a JavaScript program for logic rules cannot express
When a rule chain cannot express the logic, write it: a real JavaScript program typed, saved, and executed live against every zone in the building.
Troubleshoot a device with live logs and hex traces
Service logs tailing live, device conversations byte for byte in hex, and a search that filters thousands of lines as you type, all in one app.
Build a live dashboard with the drag-and-drop editor
The dashboard the whole series records against, opened in its own editor: real anatomy, one new live gauge bound by drag and drop, saved to every desktop.
Design faceplates, models and schematics
The three builders behind every screen in the series: reusable models, class-level faceplates, and schematic placements each bound to one real entity.
Set up a wall display that signs in automatically
Session slots as first-class things: create one, wire URL-key auto-login to a user, prove the config persists, and leave the site exactly as it was.
Switch to dark mode and build a custom theme
One click restyles the whole interface, live: apply the dark theme, build a custom amber one from it, and keep it all scoped to exactly one user.
Keep your configuration in version control
Schemas and entities under real version control: live validation, browsable history, isolated effort branches you open and close, and the remote configured in-app.
Play a sound for each alarm severity
How an alarm turns into a sound: the taskbar volume and mute controls, the scheduled program that picks the highest unacknowledged alarm, and the sound file each severity points at.
Send an email when a value changes
Wire up email end to end: point ControlBird at your mail server, prove the connection before saving it, and watch a value change arrive as a formatted email with the entity, the value and the timestamp filled in.
Automatic failover when a service stops
Two instances of the same service, one leading and one waiting. Stop the leader on camera and watch the other take over on its own, in about five seconds, with nobody paged and nothing reconfigured.
Run ControlBird on more than one node
What changes when a deployment runs on more than one node: peers that find each other without an address typed anywhere, one store both nodes read and write, and workloads that sit wherever you put them.
One data store for devices, dashboards and alarms
A tour of the live entity store every device, dashboard, and automation reads from. See a value change in one place and land everywhere at once.
Build a dashboard from three devices without code
Build a dashboard from scratch across three separate devices, binding each card to live data in the drag-and-drop Layout Editor. No code.
Email an alert when a Modbus sensor crosses a threshold
Wire a Modbus sensor to a threshold alarm and an SMTP endpoint, then watch the alarm fire and the email arrive. End to end, without writing a line of code.
