What it is not
- Not a subscription. The rules live on the Hub in your shop.
- Not a rebuild. Your tools, gates, duct, and collector stay where they are.
- Not industrial access control. One shop, locally controlled.
GRIT at Home
Automated dust collection for the home shop
Tool starts. The right gate opens. The collector runs. GRIT is local Hub hardware for one serious home shop: automatic blast gates, collector control, and a clear read on air, filter, and bin. It retrofits the tools, gates, duct, and collector you already own.
Who this is for
One person in a garage.
GRIT at Home is for woodworkers running a serious shop on their own: tools against the wall, duct along the ceiling, a collector in the corner, and blast gates that still have to open at the right time.
It is the same hardware GRIT builds for workshops that run all day, with the benefits that matter at home: automatic equipment response, local rules, and one place to see what the shop is doing. Buy the system one part at a time, at home-shop pricing.
Three things GRIT does at home
Pick what you want the shop to do.
Most people start with dust collection. The other two use the same Hub, and you do not have to buy them together.
Automated dust collectionThe tool starts, the right gate opens, and the collector runs. You keep working instead of walking to the collector.Automated dust collection →
Control tool powerHold selected tools off until you enable them from the GRIT Hub or app. Local rules, one shop, no facility systems.See how it works →
Watch shop conditionsSee the air in the shop, how loaded the collector filter is, and how full the dust bin is getting.Shop sensors →
The parts
What connects to what.
Five roles. The Hub is the only part that talks to everything else.
GRIT Hub
The center of every system. It holds the shop rules and coordinates every connected part on site.
Trigger
Reports that a tool has started drawing power.
Gate Control
Moves the blast gate on one duct branch.
Collector Control
Starts and stops the dust collector.
Power Bank
Supplies low-voltage devices on the run.
A normal afternoon
You start the tool. GRIT runs the sequence.
The detailed control happens locally in your shop. From your side, it is three simple steps.
- 01
Switch on the tool
You use the tool exactly as you do now.
- 02
GRIT opens the path
The Trigger reports to the Hub, which opens the correct gate and starts the collector.
- 03
Keep working
The shop handles the dust-collection sequence while you stay at the tool.
Automatic blast gates
Automatic blast gates for the home shop, without replacing the gate.
GRIT automates dust collection by detecting tool activity, opening the right automatic blast gates, and starting the collector in the right sequence. Keep the ductwork you already installed.
Tool detection
Triggers report that a tool is running so the Hub can start the dust-collection sequence automatically.
Shop Triggers →Gate actuation
Gate Controls automate standard metal blast gates so suction goes to the right branch when the tool starts.
Shop Gate Controls →Collector control
Collector Controls start and stop the dust collector automatically, coordinated with gate position and off-delay rules.
Shop Collector Controls →Retrofit, not rebuild
Keep the shop you already built.
GRIT fits to what is already there. A Trigger goes in line with the tool's existing outlet. A Gate Control retrofits onto an existing blast gate body. The Collector Control works with the collector on your wall.
- The Hub holds the shop rules on site.
- Gates and the collector answer to the Hub, not to a service.
- An internet outage does not stop the dust collection sequence.
Start with your shop
Tell us what is on the wall.
Count the tools, photograph the nameplates, and say how the collector starts today. That is enough for GRIT to work out the parts.
