Lite: start with cloud integrations.
CatGeneric Lite adds supported Google Home and Home Assistant control through cloud connectivity on stock firmware. Device and account requirements still apply. Lite should not be read as a promise of local-only or offline operation.
Runtime: a separate decision.
The optional Runtime follows a different path, with custom control and cycle capabilities on supported configurations. Installing a runtime is distinct from setting up a cloud integration, and hardware repair is a separate service.
Closed beta access.
CatGeneric remains in closed beta. Visit the product site for current compatibility, beta access and technical requirements.
