Home Assistant Green – Smart Home Hub

Home Assistant Green: The ultimate local Smart Home HUB

Are you fed up with that mess of separate apps, glitchy cloud connections, and smart home devices that refuse to communicate with each other? The Home Assistant Green is the most accessible plug-and-play solution that brings all your smart devices together into one powerful platform that is local, lightning-fast, and 100% private.

The Home Assistant Operating System (HAOS) is already installed before the box reaches you. Plug in the network cable, launch the app or web interface, and you’re ready to go. Ideal for both beginners and experienced users.

Why choose Home Assistant Green?

• 100% Local control & Privacy: All your data stays in your own home. No mandatory cloud services, no monthly subscriptions, and your automations keep working even if your internet connection goes down.
• Pre-installed (Plug & Play): No complicated installation sessions via command lines. Plug in the ethernet cable and start immediately.
• Plenty of power: Thanks to the Rockchip RK3566 quad-core processor, 4 GB of RAM, and 32 GB of eMMC storage, this hub has enough processing power for years of smart home data, charts, and numerous integrations.
• Extremely energy-efficient and quiet: With a consumption of only about 1.7W at idle (and max. 3W under full load), the hub costs almost nothing in electricity. The passive cooling via the aluminum heatsink ensures completely silent operation.

Deliberately without built-in radios:

To prevent interference and signal disruption within the casing, the Home Assistant Green is intentionally designed without built-in Wi-Fi, Zigbee, Z-Wave, or Bluetooth. This is a technical choice for maximum network stability. This allows you to flexibly expand your hub with the protocols you actually use, without unnecessary noise on the line.

Complete your Smart Home with these essential upgrades:

• Zigbee & Matter over Thread: The Home Assistant Connect ZBT-2 is the official partner for the Green. It allows you to communicate directly and locally with devices such as Philips Hue lights and Aqara sensors via ZHA or Zigbee2MQTT. View all Zigbee dongles for more choices.
• Z-Wave: Add a Z-Wave dongle for professional sensors and smart flush-mounted modules with greater range, secured with the latest S2 standard via Z-Wave JS UI.
• Bluetooth (via Proxies or Dongle): Because the Green is often placed in a utility closet, a direct USB dongle can sometimes cause range issues (try placing it with a USB extension cable). The smartest solution? Extend your Bluetooth coverage via "Bluetooth Proxies". Mains-powered devices from Shelly (Gen 2+) and Apollo Automation pick up Bluetooth signals and forward them directly to your Green via Wi-Fi. This gives you perfect coverage throughout your entire home! View the suitable selection from Shelly and Apollo here (note: choose a version with a fixed power supply).
• P1 Energy meter: Connect a P1 meter to read your energy consumption live. Automate your devices based on solar panel yield or off-peak rates and start saving immediately.
• Short on USB ports? The Green has 2 USB ports. Want to connect multiple dongles? The Orico USB 2.0 Hub (4 ports) solves this for you immediately.

Works seamlessly with your existing smart home

Via integrations, you can effortlessly connect Apple HomeKit, Google Home, Amazon Alexa, and Samsung SmartThings to your Home Assistant Green. This allows you to manage all your different ecosystems from one central interface.

Already using Homey? The Green is the ultimate addition! Retain the simple control and Flows of your Homey, while Home Assistant handles the heavy, complex automations, detailed energy insights, and specific local integrations in the background. The two systems exchange data flawlessly.

Automation in practice

• Everyday: Set an automation that turns off the outdoor lighting every evening at 10:00 PM and turns it back on at 6:30 AM.
• Advanced: Connect a water leak sensor to your Z-Wave dongle. Upon moisture detection, Home Assistant immediately sends a push notification to your phone via the free Companion App, and simultaneously closes the smart main valve automatically to prevent water damage.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Home Assistant Green suitable for beginners?

Yes! Thanks to the pre-installed software and the clear web interface, you can get started without complicated code. Advanced users will immediately benefit from the complete and unlimited flexibility of the Home Assistant platform.

Does the Home Assistant Green have built-in Zigbee or Z-Wave?

No, the Green does not have built-in radios. You can easily add these protocols yourself by plugging a Zigbee dongle (such as the Home Assistant Connect ZBT-2) or Z-Wave dongle into one of the USB ports.

How can I use Bluetooth on the Green?

This is easily solved with a USB Bluetooth dongle (preferably placed on a USB extension cable to prevent interference), or via a smart Bluetooth proxy with mains-powered devices from Shelly or Apollo Automation.

Can I connect an external monitor or dashboard via HDMI?

No, the HDMI port on the Green is intended exclusively for diagnostic purposes (e.g., during system recovery). You control Home Assistant entirely via the app on your phone, tablet, or through the browser on your computer.

How do I safely turn off the Home Assistant Green?

Never just pull the plug, as this can cause data corruption. The Green features a smart physical button: hold it for 6 seconds for a safe, clean shutdown. Pressing for 12 seconds triggers an immediate emergency stop.

Does the hub work without an internet connection?

Yes! All your local devices, sensors, and automations continue to function perfectly without internet. You only need an internet connection for software updates and potential external access (e.g., via Nabu Casa).
