Home Assistant Yellow

Home Assistant Yellow is a purpose-built home automation hub designed from the ground up for local-first smart home control. Powered by a Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4, it runs Home Assistant OS natively and includes a built-in Zigbee radio for direct device communication without cloud dependencies.

Unlike cloud-dependent hubs that stop working when the manufacturer shuts down servers, Yellow keeps everything on your local network. Your automations, device data, and personal information never leave your home. The open-source foundation means the community continuously adds support for new devices and protocols.

The hardware includes Gigabit Ethernet, USB-C power, an NVMe SSD slot for fast storage, and a Silicon Labs Zigbee 3.0 chip. It supports over 2,000 integrations out of the box, from lights and thermostats to cameras and locks.
