What we do

Practical hardware for demanding environments.

ESSIMPLEX is a hardware company focused on custom design and practical industrial products. We take a field problem, design the device that solves it, and ship it ready to install.

  • Custom design

    Hardware engineered around a specific field problem, from requirements to a working device.

  • Industrial products

    Practical devices built for demanding environments, starting with datacenter construction.

  • Field-ready deployment

    Units are configured on the bench and shipped ready for the install crew.

  • Honest specifications

    We publish what the device does. Preliminary parameters are labeled as preliminary.

Product · Nody Bot

Nody Bot

Not dead yet.

Battery-powered Ethernet phone-home for datacenter construction. It hangs on the far end of a cable run and wakes on a schedule to prove the drop is still alive, through months of cabling, without PoE and without staying pingable.

  • Outbound heartbeat only. Not ICMP-pingable; no always-on listener on an unfinished network.
  • LiPo battery, not PoE. Works at the far end before power distribution is ready.
  • Provisioned over USB with etctl. Set up on the bench, then shipped to the install crew.

How Nody Bot works

One check-in cycle, repeated for the life of the build.

Built for multi-month cable plant builds, not always-on monitoring.

See the full sequence

  1. Wake

    A timer fires about every 15 minutes.

  2. DHCP

    Wired Ethernet comes up and gets an address.

  3. POST

    A JSON heartbeat goes to /et/phone-home.

  4. 2xx

    It waits for HTTP 2xx: 8 s timeout, up to 3 tries.

  5. Sleep

    Back to deep sleep. Nothing listens in between.

Company

A focused hardware company for practical industrial products.

Nody Bot is our first product, built for datacenter construction teams.

We keep claims honest. This site describes the product surface: the website and the device. Collector and operations software ships separately. Nody Bot is a product name, not the company.
