Access Control, GPIO & Building Automation
BlueEarthCore facilities are designed as living systems: power, cooling, security, and machine I/O under one engineering program. We standardize on OryxPi for access control and building automation, and on UCYNCU when encrypted GPIO must share a fabric with HD audio and HD video.
OryxPi — Access Control & Universal Automation
OryxPi is the BlueEarthCore standard for:
- Access control — doors, gates, mantraps, and badge-adjacent relay logic
- GPIO over the edge — opto inputs and relay outputs for plant and room automation
- Building automation — lights, HVAC enables, garage/door sequences, occupancy interlocks
- Scalable kits — from 3 devices to 32 endpoints without re-architecting the control plane
Hardware kits start around $280 for entry packs. Resellers and integrators use the OryxPi partner program for multi-site rollouts.
UCYNCU — Encrypted GPIO with HD AV
For broadcast suites, NOCs, and multi-zone facilities that need combined HD audio, HD video, and GPIO on an encrypted Ethernet fabric:
- SHD1X encrypted control plane
- HD audio (AAC/WAV) with AES67 / Dante / Axia peer options
- HD video paths with GPIO tallies and triggers
- Neutron Series central management + Program Manager software
OryxPi remains the preferred local access-control / building-automation edge; UCYNCU carries media-grade GPIO+AV when the design requires it.
How BlueEarthCore specifies them together
