Ugreen’s HomeAgent promises a local-first, cloud-free smart-home hub
TL;DR Summary
Ugreen unveiled its HomeAgent platform at IFA 2026, offering three hub configurations (HA100, HA100 Pro, and MasterAgent MA100) that merge NAS storage, on-device AI, and a security camera NVR into a single local-first system powered by the Uliya voice assistant. All data and video can stay on-device with no mandatory monthly fees, and the hub acts as a Matter controller supporting Wi-Fi, Zigbee, Thread, and more. Pricing ranges from $899 to $9,999, with a Kickstarter launch in October; effectiveness will depend on how easily it integrates with existing gear and how smooth the setup process is.
