nRFClaw turns an nRF52 microcontroller into an AI-programmable autonomous edge device. Describe a behavior in natural language, send it over Bluetooth, disconnect — and let the device keep running from a battery.

nRFClawAI PROGRAMMABLE / BATTERY OPERATED

POWER✕CABLE

Cut the cables.
Not the intelligence.

Program wirelessly. Deploy wirelessly. Operate autonomously.

Once the behavior is stored locally, the phone, computer and AI service can go away. The device wakes only when a sensor, timer or event requires it.

PROGRAMMING

The programming cable is Bluetooth.

PRESS

Press the programming button.

CONNECT

Use a phone or computer over Bluetooth.

TELL

“Read temperature every 30 seconds and send it over LoRa.”

DEPLOY

Store the behavior locally.

DISCONNECT

Bluetooth programming is no longer required.

FORGET IT

Leave it operating from battery.

ONE DEVICE. MANY BEHAVIORS.

Describe the behavior, not the firmware.

TRACKING / MOTION~12 µA

Bike tracking that wakes with movement.

“Enable tracking if motion is detected.”

PARKED → MOTION → TRACKING

Hide the device on a bike and let it stay in an ultra-low-power state until movement matters. No vehicle power connection is required.

VIBRATION / HAEVENT DRIVEN

HVAC monitoring that reports what matters.

“Monitor the HVAC and if vibration becomes different, send a message through Home Assistant.”

VIBRATION → ANOMALY → HOME ASSISTANT

Sense locally, decide locally, transmit an event only when needed. Avoid continuously streaming raw vibration data.

TEMPERATURE / LoRa~13 µA

Long-range telemetry without Wi-Fi.

“Read the temperature every 30 seconds and send it over LoRa.”

T=25.125C
→ LoRa TX
→ sleep

Periodic sensor acquisition and long-range transmission from a battery-powered node, with no data cable and no local Wi-Fi requirement.

MOTION / BEACON~10 µA

A door event becomes a radio behavior.

“Activate motion sensing and if my door opens start broadcasting a beacon named ‘OPEN1’.”

OPEN1BLE BEACON

The radio can remain dormant until the event occurs, then start advertising exactly the behavior you described.

BATTERY FIRST

Not milliamps. Microamps.

BLE Beacon

13µA

LoRa only

Periodic LoRa telemetry profile.

These are representative measured/target low-power profiles for the reference setup. Actual average consumption and battery life depend on sensors, intervals, radio parameters, battery chemistry, temperature and application behavior.

TELEGRAM VIA HOME ASSISTANT

From a vibration anomaly to a conversation.

Home Assistant can turn an nRFClaw event into a Telegram notification and use the sensor entities it already receives to answer follow-up questions.

nRFClawLoRa / BLEGatewayIPHome Assistant↔Telegram

No Telegram stack on the device. nRFClaw detects, decides and sends the event. Home Assistant handles Internet access, bot credentials and messaging, keeping the battery-powered device simple and low-power.

Message➤

For an ultra-low-power deployment, Home Assistant can answer from the latest sensor value already received from nRFClaw. A bidirectional gateway can also support on-demand commands when the radio architecture is configured for them.

nRFCLAW STUDIO

From natural language to autonomous behavior.

The Studio is the human interface to the device: describe what you want, let the semantic compiler translate the intent, then provision the resulting program over Bluetooth.

DEVICE CAPABILITIES

Built-in primitives. Ready to combine.

nRFClaw exposes hardware, sensing, communication and persistent-state primitives to the autonomous runtime. The AI can combine these building blocks into behaviors instead of requiring a new firmware image for every application.

HARDWARE FREEDOM

Bring your own nRF52.

nRFClaw is not tied to a proprietary board. NinaSense is a low-power hardware platform well suited to the project, but another nRF52 design can be adapted to run nRFClaw.
