UGREEN's new smart home platform keeps your AI and storage local, no cloud required

UGREEN has introduced a new smart home platform called HomeAgent, which focuses on local storage and AI processing, eliminating the need for cloud connectivity. The platform includes a range of devices, such as compact HomeAgent hubs, security cameras, a smart speaker, smart displays, and a more powerful Nvidia Jetson-based system. According to Tom's Guide, the hub acts as a traditional NAS drive and serves as the brain of the home, analyzing security camera footage, photos, and videos, and can even create highlight reels.

The HomeAgent system includes a voice assistant called "Uliya," which allows users to control everything with their voice. Android Authority reports that the system processes voice commands locally, unlike cloud-based AI systems like Google Home. The platform aims to address concerns about subscription prices and cloud-based AI, providing a more private and secure smart home experience.

UGREEN's HomeAgent lineup offers varying levels of AI processing power, including heavy-duty NVIDIA AI silicon. According to XDA Developers, the company is making a significant foray into AIoT with this platform, which marks a departure from its previous products like chargers, docks, and network-attached storage.
