Home Assistant Green

Bottom line

Worth considering

Green does not include Zigbee or Z-Wave radios. Add supported adapters or bridges according to the devices you want to connect. Home Assistant can run local automations, but an integration using a cloud service remains dependent on that service.

Best for

run Home Assistant automations; connect supported local and cloud integrations

Keep in mind

The local-first grade is not a promise of hardware lifespan; review the evidence below.

Local-first gradeClears every deal-breaker — based on local control, open integration, and cloud requirements.
A
No Cloud NeededThe described local functions do not need a vendor cloud service during normal operation. Controller, setup, and update requirements still apply.
+Local ControlA documented local path is available for supported functions. Setup, remote access, and other features may still need an account or internet connection.
+Open APIA documented interface or standard provides an integration path. Check the listing for supported functions, access requirements, and controller compatibility.
