The private AI that runs your home.
Orb2 controls your devices, talks back, and keeps an eye on the house — entirely on your own hardware. No cloud, no subscription, no one else listening. Built on Home Assistant, so it works with what you already own.
Lights, locks, thermostats, shades, smart plugs, TVs, robot vacuums. Ask in plain words — "warm up the living room, lock up, dim the kitchen" — and it just happens.
The whole console is a living green orb that is Orb2. It opens a live home dashboard you can tap — every device a glowing tile.
It tells you before you ask — "the garage has been open 15 minutes," "the front door's unlocked." Quiet when all's well, a nudge when it isn't.
Runs on a box in your home. Your home's data never leaves the house — no cloud account, no monthly fee, nothing to cancel.
Talk to it hands-free — continuous speech with a natural voice, all on-device. It speaks like a person, not a manual.
Built on Home Assistant: Matter, Zigbee, Z-Wave, Wi-Fi and ~1,000 integrations. Pair a device once and Orb2 can drive it.
Reach it from your phone or any browser — or a dedicated Orb2 panel by the door. Message it on WhatsApp or Telegram too.
"Where can I buy a new lamp?" — it lays out options to order online or points you to the nearest store. The house has a helpful brain.
Your routines, your preferences, what's where — durable memory plus semantic recall, so it gets more useful the longer it lives with you.
A small, locked-down touchscreen that boots straight into Orb2 — discovers your home server, no setup, nothing to exit. Camera and mic for voice and presence.
Glance at the house, tap to lock up or set the lights, talk to it on the way out. A calm, always-on face for your home.
Any phone, tablet or browser works just as well — the panel is for people who'd rather buy one thing that just works.
Bring your own local model (Ollama/vLLM) for a fully private brain — nothing leaves the house.
No GPU? Point the brain at a cloud model you choose. Runs on a Mac mini or any small PC.
Orb2 pairs with Home Assistant for devices. Install them side by side and you're controlling the house in minutes.
