Ugreen Launches HomeAgent Smart Home Platform with Local AI
At IFA 2026, Ugreen introduced its new smart home platform called HomeAgent. The system combines a network-attached storage (NAS) device, security camera NVR functionality, and an on-device AI assistant named Uliya into one unit. This local-first approach aims to address privacy concerns by keeping data within the user's home without relying on cloud services or monthly subscriptions. The platform includes three hub configurations with varying performance levels, including a top-tier model powered by Nvidia’s Jetson Thor T5000 chip offering up to 2,070 TFLOPS of AI processing power. The system supports Matter smart home standards and integrates devices from multiple brands via Wi-Fi, Zigbee, Thread, Bluetooth, NFC, ONVIF/RTSP, and PoE. Ugreen’s HomeAgent is set for a Kickstarter launch in October with early-bird pricing discounts. While full retail prices have not yet been announced, the system promises features like cross-camera tracking, AI-powered video search, text event descriptions, and natural language voice control of smart home devices.
