Our story

Control Freak started with my own pool. When I looked at what was out there for automating it, I found only a few products, and none of them met my needs. They fell short on features, on looks, or on a price I could justify.

So we designed our own custom circuit board, user interface and platform, built to be mass produced, so other people could solve the same problem I set out to solve.

Along the way we added features nobody else offered and brought the cost way down. A fraction of the price, twice the options.

We put the power back in your hands, with features that enrich your life, not our pockets.

Got another idea for something big business has a lock on? Put Control Freak on it.

What every Control Freak does for you

  1. Privacy built in

    Your data stays in your home. Flip a switch to share one signal, like low chlorine, with a provider you choose. Only that signal, only that provider. No toilet paper company tracking your bathroom trips.

  2. One app, unify your devices

    Home Assistant is built into every controller, so your pool, reef, lights, thermostat and cameras all live in one app. No more opening five apps to check on one house.

  3. No subscription.

    Buy the controller once and it's yours. Every feature in the app works without a monthly fee. Optional services, like chlorine delivery, are yours to choose, never required.

  4. Reliability built in

    The internet goes down, your home doesn't. Schedules and safety rules run right in the controller, so a storm that knocks out the internet for two weeks never knocks out your control.

  5. One-tap routines

    Spa Night on the pool, Feed Mode on the reef. One tap runs several steps, then hands control back. More than an on/off switch.

  6. Plug and play kit

    Every sensor and pump connects with a keyed, color-coded plug that only fits one way. Scan the QR code, follow the app, and you're running. It's plug and play, not plug and pray.
