What is Sardonyx?

Why Sardonyx?

Sardonyx is a fork of the game engine: Amethyst. Building a home automation platform on-top of a game engine allows for a really robust and fast smart home system.

Because Amethyst is based over a very powerful and parallel ECS called Specs. This allows Sardonyx to be truly multi-threaded. Sardonyx provides clean and reusable code for your automation's and data structures. This allows Sardonyx users to easily share useful components, making it easy to create your own customized smart home hub. ECS architecture allows your automation system to cleanly separate data and behaviour.
