Whatever you've built, the Target IR makes it react to your guests — relay, servo, lights, and sound from a single hit. No custom code, no external controller. The target has the controller built in. 

The NEATO-FX Target IR is a self-contained hit detector and prop controller in one device. Wire it up, configure it in minutes, and it runs your prop — relay, servo, lights, and sound — all from a single hit event. Configure from any browser on your phone — no app to install, no laptop required.

Already deployed in haunted houses, shooting galleries, museums, and themed bars across the country — entirely through word of mouth.

Open platform — no subscriptions, no lock-in, you own it completely. Every device is tested before it ships. Guaranteed no DOA.

One device, many experiences

01 — Standalone prop

Wire the Target IR to your prop, load your configuration, and you're done. A hit triggers the onboard relay, PWM switch, servo, or any combination simultaneously.

No server, no hub, no extra hardware.

02 — Shooting gallery

Deploy multiple Target IR units, each wired to its own prop. Every target operates independently. Each one detects hits, fires its outputs, and handles its own LED feedback.

03 — Scavenger hunt

Hide targets throughout your space. When a guest discovers one, the player fires: a sound clip plays, a light sequence triggers, a mechanism reveals itself.

04 — Escape room

Targets become puzzle elements in sequence. Breaking the first beam fires a clue and arms the next target. Complete the chain and the final prop unlocks.

05 — Full game experience

Connect all NEATO-FX devices to a home automation hub. One activation triggers sound, lighting, prop animation, score updates, and an automatic reset — all coordinated.

Built for experiences, not just galleries

  • Themed restaurants

    Guest-triggered atmosphere moments — table interactions that fire lights, sounds, or small mechanical surprises.

  • Museum exhibits

    Interactive displays that respond to guest proximity. No staff required — the target
    handles detection and output.

  • Haunted houses

    Guests trigger scares by crossing a beam.
    Animatronics lurch, sounds fire, lights flash — from a single hit event.

  • Shooting galleries

    Players aim and fire. Each hit triggers LED
    feedback, sound, and prop animation. Score updates live on the Display 4".

  • Scavenger hunts

    Targets hidden throughout a space. Discovery triggers a clue, a reveal mechanism, a light sequence, or a progress update.

  • Escape rooms

    Targets in sequence — breaking one beam arms the next. Completing the chain unlocks the room or reveals the final prop.

One activation, many possibilities

Every output fires on activation, or configure independently for multi-stage behaviors.

  • Aux 5V out

    Power downstream devices directly from the target

  • GPIO

    General purpose I/O for custom integrations and sensors

  • LED control

    Target face LEDs are fully adjustable — set color and pattern per event, state, or team

  • 2A relay

    Drive solenoids, air valves, motors, and
    high-current props

  • 1.6A PWM switch

    Dim lights, control motor speed, or drive LED strips

  • Servo control

    Animate doors, arms, mechanisms, and animatronic joints
