Home Assistant Green – Smart Home Hub

Home Assistant Green: The ultimate local smart home hub

Are you fed up with a jumble of separate apps, faltering 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 locally, super-fast, and 100% privately into one powerful platform.

The Home Assistant Operating System (HAOS) is already installed before the box even arrives. Plug in the network cable, launch the app or web interface, and you can get started immediately. Ideal for beginners and experienced users alike.

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 continue to work even if your internet connection goes down.
• Pre-installed (Plug & Play): No complicated command-line installation sessions. Plug in the Ethernet cable and get started instantly.
• Plenty of Power: Thanks to the Rockchip RK3566 quad-core processor, 4 GB RAM, and 32 GB eMMC storage, this hub has enough processing power for years of smart home data, graphs, and numerous integrations.
• Extremely Economical and Silent: With a power consumption of only about 1.7W at idle (and max. 3W under full load), the hub costs you almost nothing in electricity. Passive cooling via the aluminum heatsink ensures completely silent operation.

Deliberately without built-in radios:

To prevent interference and signal disruptions within the casing, the Home Assistant Green is deliberately 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. With it, you can communicate directly and locally with, for example, 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 built-in modules with greater range, secured with the latest S2 standard via Z-Wave JS UI.
• Bluetooth (via Proxies or Dongle): Since the Green is often placed in a meter cupboard, a direct USB dongle can sometimes cause range issues (you can place it with a USB extension cable if necessary). The smartest solution? Extend your Bluetooth coverage via "Bluetooth Proxies". Mains-powered devices from Shelly (Gen 2+) and Apollo Automation capture Bluetooth signals and send them directly to your Green via Wi-Fi. This gives you perfect coverage throughout your home!

• P1 Energy Meter: Connect a P1 meter to read your energy consumption live. Automate your devices based on solar panel yield or off-peak tariffs and start saving immediately.
• Running short on USB ports? The Green has 2 USB ports. Do you 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

Through integrations, you can effortlessly link 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 complement! Maintain the simple operation and Flows of your Homey, while Home Assistant handles the heavy, complex automations, extensive 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 06:30 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 at the same time automatically closes the smart main water valve 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 start without complicated code. Advanced users immediately benefit from the full 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?

You can easily solve this 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 exclusively for diagnostic purposes (e.g., 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 shut down the Home Assistant Green?

Never simply unplug it to prevent data corruption. The Green has a smart physical button: hold it for 6 seconds for a safe, clean shutdown. A 12-second press triggers an immediate emergency stop.

Does the hub also work without an internet connection?

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