Aida Home

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.

Overview

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

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.

How the products fit together

1. Design — Define human-readable cluster names in the configuration Excel (Cluster ID column).
2. Commission — Use Aida Commissioner on site to bind serials and push config (including cluster membership).
3. Operate — Install Aida Home Hub on the home LAN, register the same cluster names, and expose them to voice or Home Assistant.

:::tip Naming convention Use the same cluster string everywhere: Excel Cluster ID, device keyw, and Home Hub cluster name. Example: Kitchen, not kitchen in one place and Kitchen Lights in another. :::
