It runs locally on your own hardware, keeping all data on-premise without relying on the cloud. Users can build automations, create custom dashboards, manage energy usage, and control devices via voice assistant.
Problem
Smart home platforms typically rely on cloud services, raising privacy concerns and creating dependency on third-party infrastructure.
For
DIY enthusiasts and smart home tinkerers who want local control over their home automation
How it works
