Space Engine Edge
Space Engine Edge – the on-site server of the Space Engine platform. Your system, kept inside your building.
Full control over keys and data
A dedicated computer running your private copy of the Space Engine server. Permissions, event history and cryptographic keys stay inside your infrastructure.
An isolated private micro-cloud
Runs as an isolated environment (sandbox) or on a dedicated site network, so your building does not depend on a public cloud or its outages.
Open to integration
An HTTP and WebSocket API connects hotel software, building management systems and your own apps. Matter is supported.

We tailor warranty periods to each client's needs and tender requirements, so we can meet the expectations of even the most demanding projects.
How much server does a building need?
A single building does not need a very powerful server. MQTT communication with the Space API is very light: one hub uses about 30 MB of data per month, mostly short keep-alive (heartbeat) messages between the devices and the server. That is why we start from the base configuration and scale it up to the project’s needs, for example when you enable a VoIP system, which may require stronger hardware.
API and integrations
Space Engine exposes a documented API that third-party systems and apps call over HTTP, with real-time events over WebSocket.
- Door control: remote unlocking and locking, live lock status (locked, battery, online) and instant alerts.
- Access rights: users, PIN and one-time codes, cards, fingerprints and faces, with time windows and validity periods.
- Mobile keys: Bluetooth keys, QR codes and time-limited hotel codes, including commands for locks without a network connection.
- History and audit: openings, failed attempts and the status of every request.
- Lifts and intercoms: floor permissions, remote lift calls and SIP intercoms.
- Face terminals: enrolling people, issuing cards, blocking users and passage events.
- Building automation: switches, dimmers, blinds, air conditioning, sensors, meters and circuit breakers, plus scenes and batch commands.
- Maintenance: adding and removing devices at the hub and over-the-air firmware updates.
We share the API documentation (in English) with integration partners on request.
Have your own infrastructure?
Space Engine On-Premise is the same software deployed on servers you own or provide: Kubernetes, Docker or bare metal, Linux recommended.
One platform, three deployment models
Space Engine runs in three models: Cloud, Private Cloud and Self-Hosted (in the Edge and On-Premise variants). All of them use the same software, API and devices, so you can switch models without replacing devices and keep control of the infrastructure and security procedures on your side.
