Clouvea Ecosystem
Clouvea transforms your Android-compatible devices into powerful edge storage nodes. Here are some of the best ways to build your personal cloud.
The Battery Saver Setup: Smart Wi-Fi Plugs
For devices with built-in batteries (like phones and tablets), you can use smart Wi-Fi plugs paired with Google Home automations. Configure your automation to turn on the smart plug to charge the connected Clouvea node device when its battery falls below 30-40%, and automatically turn off the plug when it reaches 80% to maximize battery lifespan.
The Ideal Setup: Android TV Boxes & Smart Hubs
These are perfect for Clouvea because they are designed to be plugged into the wall 24/7, they connect via Ethernet/WiFi, and they almost always have USB ports for external hard drives.
The Enthusiast Setup: Single Board Computers (SBCs)
Tech-savvy users love DIY servers. Running Android on an SBC gives you massive flexibility with USB expansion and ultra-low power consumption.
The Repurposed Setup: Spare Phones & Tablets
This is our original pitch and still the lowest barrier to entry. Repurpose what you already have in your drawer.
