The Story

Started coding at 12.
Still at it.

NeatoFX was founded by Jason Altice — a licensed Professional Engineer and software developer who spent over two decades building the autonomous systems inside US Navy vessels, John Deere farm equipment, Liebherr mining machinery, and two venture-backed startups (Outrider and Stack AV).

After all that time making large, expensive machines do exactly what people need them to do — reliably, autonomously, night after night — Jason left to build something for a very different world: the places that exist purely to give people a great experience.

Haunted houses. Shooting galleries. Museums. Escape rooms. The people who build these places are incredibly creative. The technology to bring their ideas to life shouldn't be their obstacle. I want to build the system you're proud to put your name on.

US Navy — Autonomous Vessels

10 years developing autonomous navigation and control systems for unmanned surface vehicles.

John Deere & Liebherr

Autonomous systems for agricultural and heavy mining equipment operating in extreme environments.

Outrider & Stack AV

Two autonomous vehicle startups — yard trucks and highway semi-trucks — from early-stage to production.

NeatoFX — Themed Attractions

Bringing the same engineering rigor to haunted houses, shooting galleries, museums, and FECs.

Why NeatoFX

What makes our devices different

Every product is built the way a venue operator would build it — if they had 20 years of embedded systems experience.

Works with Home Assistant

Every NeatoFX device integrates natively with Home Assistant — the open automation platform used by millions worldwide. Control everything from your phone with no subscription required.

No app. No lock-in.

Configure from any browser. Update firmware over WiFi. No proprietary app, no cloud dependency, no recurring fees. You own the hardware and the software — forever.

Built to run every day

Every unit is individually tested before it ships. DHCP and static IP, OTA firmware updates, daisy-chain power wiring, and mounting hardware are standard — not add-ons.

More in every device

Every NeatoFX device is engineered to do more in one unit — combining sensing, output, networking, and control in a way that previously required multiple separate components.

Made for professionals. Open for makers.

Our devices are built for demanding professional environments — but nothing is locked down. ESPHome firmware, open APIs, standard hardware. Expand it, customize it, integrate it however you see fit. We believe in the builder.

Your venue matters to me.

When you reach out, you're trusting me with something you've put real work into. I don't take that lightly. I'll work with you to get it right for your space — and if something isn't working, we figure it out together. It's an honor to be the person you come to.
