About busware

Open hardware for open source firmware — since the early days of free home automation.

busware is the hardware label of Ingenieurbüro Tostmann. We design and build compact radio and interface modules for home automation — open hardware, meant to carry your own open source firmware.

What we do

Rather than finished consumer devices, we supply building blocks, manufacturing and design licences: boards and modules around sub-GHz radio, EnOcean, KNX, Zigbee and Thread that fit into existing automation systems.

Open source

The CUL family and the culfw / a-culfw firmware are part of many free home automation projects. Source and ongoing development are public on GitHub ↗; the Firmware & software page gives an overview of the firmware and tools.
