🛠️ Bridging the Gap: Why OpenLogic Is Built for Real Integrators

In the world of smart home integration, there’s always been a trade-off.

On one end of the spectrum, we have polished, highly structured platforms like Crestron Home and Control4 — systems designed to get up and running quickly through wizards, templates, and auto-discovery. They’re great for simple jobs and fast rollouts. But try to break out of the box and do something unique for your client? You hit a wall.

On the other end, there’s SIMPL Windows, SIMPL+, and VTPro — incredibly powerful tools that give you full creative and logical control over every aspect of a system. The catch? They’re slow, repetitive, and increasingly feel like relics of an earlier era. You end up writing the same logic from scratch, wiring hundreds of signals manually, and juggling brittle dependencies.

OpenLogic is our answer.
A platform that gives you both freedom and speed. Creativity and structure. Automation and control.

🎯 Designed for Professionals Who Want Both Power and Efficiency

OpenLogic starts with a modern understanding of what today’s integrators actually need:

• You want to move fast, but you won’t compromise on quality.
• You know what your clients need, and you don’t want to be boxed in by presets.
• You’ve developed your own methods, tools, and experience, and you want to keep using them — but smarter, cleaner, and faster.

⚙️ How We’re Building the Balance

✅ A Guided Setup Wizard

Define your project name, floors, rooms, and sub-zones. Check off capabilities: audio, lighting, HVAC, UI. OpenLogic generates room modules, logic skeletons, and wiring. You go from blank slate to structured project in minutes.

🧱 Modular Logic Engine

Every subsystem (audio, HVAC, UI) is a reusable module. Signals are cleanly defined and named. Wiring is clear and declarative — and editable both visually and in code. It’s SIMPL+, evolved.

🎛️ Visual Logic Designer

Drag and drop modules and wire up signals like you would in SIMPL Windows. Signal types are color-coded. Events and feedback are clearly labeled. Visual changes reflect directly in the .dsl logic files — and vice versa.

👨‍💻 Advanced Code Editor

For experienced developers, switch to full code mode. Syntax highlighting, autocompletion, validation — in your browser. You can write the logic faster than any wizard can click.

🌍 Community Module Library

Add 3rd-party drivers, logic blocks, or UI components with one click. Contribute your own and extend the platform. Never write the same lighting scene handler twice.

🖥️ And When It Comes to UI?

We get it. VTPro was powerful. But it was clunky and non-standard.

OpenLogic gives you:

• A modern UI Designer in the browser
• Responsive layouts
• Custom themes, community-shared designs, and full control if you want to get your hands dirty

The default UI gets you started. The theme library gets you polished. And if you’re a UI/UX perfectionist? You can go all in.

🧠 OpenLogic Is Built by Integrators, for Integrators

We’re not trying to reinvent home automation for the sake of it.

We’re trying to bring 20+ years of integrator experience forward — into a toolset that’s:

• Open
• Modern
• Scriptable
• Visual
• Extensible
• Yours

You shouldn’t have to give up control to gain convenience.
You shouldn’t be locked into someone else’s idea of how a smart home should work.
You deserve a platform that works with you, not against you.

That’s OpenLogic.
