Smart-Building Installer Brief

Lumi Nails & Med Spa โ€” work order for hardware + LumiOS hookup

The control software (LumiOS) is already built and running. This brief is the hardware to install and how to connect it. LumiOS uses open standards (Matter / Zigbee / Z-Wave / ONVIF), so the owner is not tied to any one brand or installer. Please quote install + integration. Product suggestions are examples โ€” equivalent reputable models are fine if they meet the "must support" note.

1 ยท The hub (install first)

Home Assistant Green (~$99) โ€” recommended, because LumiOS's hardware driver is already written for Home Assistant. It runs locally (doors & lights keep working if the internet drops) and speaks Matter/Thread, Zigbee and (with a USB stick) Z-Wave. Alternatives: Hubitat Elevation C-8 Pro (~$179) or Homey Pro. Put it on wired Ethernet.

LumiOS itself runs on its own small always-on device (a ~$100โ€“150 mini-PC or Raspberry Pi) on the same network โ€” not on the hub appliance. Both stay on-site.

Prices approximate (mid-2026) โ€” verify at purchase. Rooms at Lumi: Reception, Pedicure, Manicure, Treatment Room 1 & 2, Bathroom 1 & 2, Break Room. Cameras cover common areas + entrances only (none in treatment rooms or bathrooms).

Phased option (recommended): start with Hub + entry locks + smart lighting (~$1,200โ€“2,000 installed), confirm it all works in LumiOS, then add thermostat, shades, audio, AI cameras, room-access locks, signage and the autoclave monitor. A full build of everything typically lands ~$4,500โ€“9,000 in hardware depending on speaker, shade and camera count.

3 ยท Installer scope of work

  1. Mount and wire all devices (licensed electrician for switches/locks/HVAC as required).
  2. Pair every device to the Home Assistant hub; confirm each responds in the hub's own app.
  3. Record each device's entity ID in the worksheet below (LumiOS needs these).
  4. Create a Home Assistant Long-Lived Access Token for LumiOS.
  5. Confirm camera RTSP URLs and that the NVR records locally.
Cameras need one extra piece for in-app live view. LumiOS controls everything else directly, but to show real camera video inside the app you also need a small RTSPโ†’WebRTC/HLS relay (e.g. go2rtc or Frigate, both run on the hub/host). Without it, recording and ONVIF motion still work โ€” you just view footage in the NVR/camera app, not the LumiOS tiles.

4 ยท Connect LumiOS (developer step โ€” ~a few hours)

Who does this: this step edits a Node.js file, so it needs someone comfortable with code โ€” many device installers pair hardware but don't program. Use a technical integrator, or have the LumiOS provider pre-fill realDriver.js so the installer only pastes IDs.
  1. Open src/devices/drivers/realDriver.js โ€” the code for each action is pre-written (commented).
  2. Paste the entity IDs from the worksheet into the MAP, uncomment the hub() calls, remove the NOT_WIRED guards.
  3. Launch with LUMIOS_DRIVER=real, LUMIOS_HUB_URL, LUMIOS_HUB_TOKEN set (see docs/SETUP.md).
  4. Test one light first, then doors. The app, voice and scenes do not change.

6 ยท Safety must-haves (sign off before go-live)

โš ๏ธ Door locks are a fire-code / life-safety matter โ€” not just a gadget. On a commercial building, exit doors must let people out during an emergency, and electric strikes/maglocks typically must release automatically on a fire alarm (fail-safe egress). This must be designed and signed off by a licensed locksmith/electrician to be legal and insurable. Confirm your insurance and local fire/building codes before automating any entrance or exit. Do not improvise locking on egress doors.

Note on cost: the shopping list is hardware only. Installation labor (electrician + integrator) and the LumiOS connection step are separate โ€” get them quoted too.
