Evolving Ecosystem
Just like the Tamagotchi, each fish starts with eggs and lives for around 7 days in which you will see it as an energetic kid, an inquisitive teen, a mature adult and as a wise elder.
Adults lay new eggs and eventually after 7 days, die. The cycle continues in this constantly evolving ecosystem.
However, unlike Tamagotchi, they don’t need to be fed and cleaned after. Instead, they depend on your environment !
Environment Sensing
Using integrated sensors, Livegrid measures temperature, humidity and CO2 levels of the surroundings.
These values directly effect the visuals of the ecosytem and behavior of the fish in a way that if the environment is healthy for you, the ecosystem will be healthy as well.
If you see the fish are white and stop moving, simply open the windows and let some fresh air in. The fish will be happy again, and you will be healthy again.
The ecosystem’s health is linked to your own health!
Here after a succesful Kickstarter !
Livegrid was succesfully funded on Kickstarter on June 2024, and succesfully shipped out all the rewards by the end of October 2024.
We have now properly setup and are ready for shipping Livegrid out to you.
Check out the campaign here to see how it all started.
100s of happy customers !

My kids love the panel, its in our living room and they constantly take care of our house, make sure there's not too much CO2.

I've had "smart" devices work not nearly half as good as what you have. Super happy it's all local with home assistant and stuff.
Jonathan, U.S.
Can it do this and that?
Probably yes.
Interactive
Accompanying web-app lets you interact with Livegrid is numerous different ways.
Fully Open Source
Connect to Home Assistant, MQTT, APIs, or completely change the software. It’s all open source!
Retro look
The low resolution but surprisingly bright display gives you an aesthetic like no other.
Web-app
Livegrid is loaded with advanced features for users looking to customise or push boundaries further. All this is enabled by a Progressive Web App (PWA) hosted within the device.
However, the app is a non-essential feature and Livegrid works perfectly fine without it.
The open-source software and hardware is meant to help you understand its internals and make Livegrid your own. Check out more details here on github.
