Smart speakers and smart home apps know when you're home, when you sleep, and what you say in your living room. With Amazon Alexa and Google Home, that runs through a US company's cloud, and your devices depend on its servers and its decisions. European and open-source smart home systems can run on a hub inside your own home, so your lights still work when the internet doesn't.

Dutch smart home hub that connects devices from many brands in one app, with automations you set up without coding.
Open-source software you run on your own server, NAS or an always-on computer at home. Your data never leaves your hands and nobody can close your account, but you look after updates and backups yourself. Because you hold the data, these can be developed anywhere.
Control your lights, heating and devices from one app that runs in your own home. No cloud account needed.
Open source (Apache-2.0), developed by Open Home Foundation, Switzerland. Runs on a Raspberry Pi, a mini PC, or a ready-made Home Assistant Green box. Works offline and controls devices from thousands of brands.
