PÉYI PRODUCT

Designed, assembled and tested in Guadeloupe.

Homenichat is a Guadeloupean SME. We manufacture the Homenibox in our workshop in Baie-Mahault, we test it in tropical conditions before shipping, and we understand your daily life as a French Overseas (DROM) business owner because it's also ours.

Assembled here

Every Homenibox leaves our Baie-Mahault workshop. EC25-EUX modems calibrated one by one for local 4G bands (Free Caraïbe, Digicel, Orange Caraïbe).

Tropical climate certified

48 h in heated humidity chamber (32 °C, 80 % humidity) before shipping. 2-year warranty in Overseas France, intervention within 72 working hours in the Caribbean.

French + Creole support

Our support team is in Guadeloupe, reachable via WhatsApp, SMS or phone. We speak Guadeloupean and Martinican Creole when it's easier for you.

Sold across the Caribbean

Delivery within 7 working days in Guadeloupe, Martinique, French Guiana, Saint-Martin, Saint-Barthélemy. Partner distributors coming to Haiti and the Dominican Republic.

In the Caribbean, fiber goes down 2 to 3 times a month on average. Hurricane season, EDF power outages, ISP works: we know it. The Homenibox is built for that. Automatic 4G failover, hardware watchdog, backup Wi-Fi (Premium option). While your competitors stay silent for 4 hours, you keep answering.

What a pro switchboard should really do.

Ring Group — it rings on several phones

1 line, up to 4 phones answering. When your mobile rings, it rings at home, on your spouse's phone, on your apprentice's phone, on your secretary's phone — all at once. First to pick up takes the call.

You never lose another prospect.

Shared SMS & WhatsApp

Your assistant reads AND replies. The client sees your mobile as the sender. The whole team shares the same conversation thread.

Official Meta WhatsApp — 3 routes

Official Cloud API (free under 1,000 conv/month) or fast local solution. 7-step wizard in the app.

The only box that self-diagnoses.

Heartbeat — internet monitoring

Automatic 4G failover if your fibre drops. Push notification to the whole team.

Health Check — SIM monitoring

Signal, IMSI, modem errors. Proactive alerts before failure.

Made for industrial use. CM4 + passive heatsink + regulated ventilation. Designed for tropical climates (Caribbean heat and humidity), validated for mainland indoor use too.

Why a real SIM rather than a virtual number?

❌ Virtual numbers (Ringover, OnOff…)

  • All cloud. No physical SIM.
  • Internet down → dead line.
  • Your data lives on their servers.
  • EUR 25–40/month per user.

✅ Homenichat

  • Real SIM inside a box at your premises.
  • Internet down → pull out the SIM, drop it in an old phone, you keep going.
  • Your data at home, locally encrypted binary.
  • EUR 19/month for the whole team.
Pro sovereignty. Code as encrypted binary on your box. WhatsApp messages, SMS, phone conversations: nothing transits through obscure third-party servers. Essential for medical, paramedical and legal practices.

They use it every day.

Frequently asked questions

Everything you want to know before you order.

Why should I pay Meta if WhatsApp is free?

WhatsApp personal is free, yes. But WhatsApp Business via the official API charges for conversations beyond the first 1,000 free per month. Meta bills you directly, not us. Many small businesses stay inside the free tier.

See the full WhatsApp Business guide →

How do I connect my official WhatsApp to Homenichat?

7-step wizard in the app: create a Meta Business account, create a WhatsApp app, grab the App ID + token + Phone Number ID, paste them into the box. ~15–30 minutes the first time.

See the step-by-step Meta guide →

Is it legal to use WhatsApp via your local solution?

We offer 3 routes: (1) the official WhatsApp Cloud from Meta (recommended), (2) WhatsApp Business On-Premise (Meta), (3) a local Baileys gateway for simple use cases. Route 3 is unofficial and stays at your discretion — it is disabled by default.

Compare the 3 routes →

Does the box hold up in tropical climates?

Yes. Industrial CM4 + passive heatsink + regulated ventilation. Metal case. Tested in Guadeloupe and Martinique in ventilated indoor settings: stable chassis temperatures, no thermal drift over 24 hours.

What if my fibre connection drops?

The Connect (10 €) and Premium (19 €) plans include automatic 4G failover. If the fibre drops, the box switches to the 4G SIM on the EC25-EUX modem (band B28 / 700 MHz for range), with no intervention needed. You keep getting SMS, calls and WhatsApp.

Can my assistant reply to SMS without my phone?

Exactly. SMS arrive on your mobile number and are visible in the app to anyone on your team you authorise. Your assistant reads, replies, archives — the client always sees your mobile number as the sender. Nobody has to carry your personal phone around.

What happens if the box fails?

You pull out the SIM, drop it in an old phone, and you keep receiving your calls and SMS like before. No cloud dependency on an account that could get locked. The box stays your server, not a throwaway access card.

Is my data really sovereign?

Yes. The code runs as locally encrypted binary on your CM4. SMS and WhatsApp conversations and call history are stored on the box, in an encrypted SQLite database. Nothing transits through obscure third-party servers. Essential for medical, paramedical and legal practices bound by professional secrecy.

What's the difference between Connect (10 €) and Premium (19 €)?

Connect = 4G failover data routing, cellular telephony (VoLTE validated on Orange/SFR/Free and Orange Caraïbe, 3G voice fallback for Bouygues), watchdog auto-maintenance, admin interface. For anyone who just wants the pro essentials.

Premium = everything in Connect + local WhatsApp Business (Baileys/Node.js gateway) + backup pro Wi-Fi (ALFA AWUS036ACM dongle, 3–4 devices) + priority support + proactive monitoring. For anyone who wants the complete switchboard.

Is there a professional auto-attendant (IVR)?

Yes. Self-hosted IVR on the box (“Press 1 for emergencies, Press 2 for a quote…”), DTMF routing, voicemail straight in the app. Configurable from the admin without touching the Asterisk dialplan.

How long before the box pays for itself?

The EUR 390 (excl. VAT) box pays for itself in around 10 months if you factor in the savings against a traditional 80 €/month pro subscription (Connect/Premium 10–19 € + SIM plan 20–30 € = 30–49 €/month). From month 11 onwards, you save around 50 €/month.

Do you charge for WhatsApp messages?

No, never. Meta bills your Meta Business account directly for official WhatsApp Business beyond the free quota (1,000 conv/month). The local Baileys gateway (Premium) is free on the Homenichat side. We don't take a cent per message.
