Modularity

Limitless Modular Design

Hangar DAO aims to enable smart home automation with a modular ecosystem that empowers designers to create an unrestricted variety of components. Any innovation related to home automation or security can be developed and integrated as a module ("Pod") within the Hangar DAO ecosystem. This openness encourages creativity and ensures that the system evolves continuously with user and community contributions.

Definition of a Module; Pod:

• A Pod is any component, device, or system designed for home automation or security.

• Examples include smart thermostats, lighting controls, security cameras, water leak detectors, garden automation systems, and even advanced integrations like autonomous drones for security.

No Limits on Module Development:

• Hangar DAO imposes no restrictions on the type or number of Pods that can be created, ensuring a dynamic and diverse ecosystem.

• Pods can range from simple devices to complex systems, as long as they align with the DAO's standards for integration and functionality.

Advantages of the Modular Approach

Customizability:

Users can personalize their smart home systems by selecting only the Pods that meet their needs.

Scalability:

The modular design allows the ecosystem to grow organically as new Pods are introduced.

Cost-Effectiveness:

Local production of modules ensures affordability, while the hub-centric model reduces system complexity.

Innovation Incentives:

Designers are motivated to contribute due to the DAO’s reward system, driving continuous innovation.

Future Possibilities

The modular approach paves the way for groundbreaking developments, such as:

• Advanced automation modules for large-scale operations, such as farm irrigation or industrial security.

• Integration of AI-driven modules for predictive maintenance and smart decision-making.

• Compatibility with emerging IoT standards to ensure the system remains future-proof.
