The Brain Behind Your Smart Home
Home Assistant ties every device together into one intelligent system. Voice control, custom scenes, powerful automations—all running locally on your own hardware. Zero cloud dependencies. Zero monthly fees.
What Is Home Assistant?
Home Assistant is the open-source platform that controls your entire smart home. It's the central hub that makes everything work together—locally, privately, and reliably.
Central Hub
One system controls cameras, locks, lights, thermostat, shades, and any future devices. No more juggling five different apps from five different manufacturers.
Controls All Devices
Home Assistant integrates with over 2,500 brands. Zigbee, Z-Wave, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth—it speaks every protocol. Your devices work together regardless of manufacturer.
Local Processing
Everything runs on hardware in your home. No cloud servers, no internet dependency for core functions. Your smart home works even when your ISP doesn't.

The Tech Stack
Enterprise-grade technology running in your home. Here's exactly what powers your smart home system.
Raspberry Pi 5
The brain of your smart home. Runs Home Assistant, processes automations, and manages every device. Draws 5 watts—less than a night light. Completely silent.
Google Coral TPU
Dedicated AI accelerator for camera object detection. Identifies people, cars, animals, and packages in real-time. The same technology used in commercial security systems.
Zigbee & Z-Wave
Dedicated wireless protocols for smart home devices. More reliable than Wi-Fi, lower power, and they create a mesh network that gets stronger as you add more devices.
Wi-Fi Devices
Cameras, thermostats, and some smart displays connect via Wi-Fi. We assess your network coverage and recommend upgrades if needed to handle the additional devices.
Why Local Processing Matters
Privacy
Your data never leaves your home. No company stores your camera footage, voice recordings, or usage patterns. It's your home—it stays your business.
Speed
Commands execute in milliseconds. No round-trip to a cloud server. Press a button and the light turns on instantly. That's the difference between local and cloud.
Reliability
When your internet goes down, your smart home keeps working. Lights, locks, climate, and automations all run locally. No internet needed for anything critical.
