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, plugs, TVs, speakers, robot vacuums. Ask in plain words — "warm up the living room, lock up, dim the kitchen" — and it just happens. It even pairs new devices for you and keeps the setup tidy.
The console is a living green orb. Ask for anything and it answers in floating widgets — a thermostat, the shopping list, a live camera, your day at a glance — draggable cards on a calm canvas.
Nudges before you ask — "the garage has been open 15 minutes." Smoke, CO and leaks alert instantly. Set it to away and any motion pings your phone. Even dying sensor batteries get flagged.
Runs on a box in your home. Conversations, camera and voice stay in the house — no cloud account, no monthly fee, nothing to cancel.
Hands-free continuous speech with a natural voice, all on-device. It learns each family member's voice and answers to the right person with their preferences.
Built on Home Assistant: Matter, Zigbee, Z-Wave, Wi-Fi and ~1,000 integrations. Orb discovers new devices on your network and offers to set them up.
Notes that deliver when someone gets home, chores, shared calendar, per-person reminders, announcements over the speakers — and it greets each member by name.
A shared list with staples that re-add themselves ("we buy milk weekly"), price options across stores, and checkout handed to the merchant you trust.
Durable memory plus semantic recall — and it studies how you actually use the house, then proposes automations you approve with one word.
Your box claims its own name.device.orb2.app address with a real HTTPS certificate — remote voice and camera from any browser, no ports opened.
Real capture, unedited: a morning briefing, a pasta timer, staples added to the shopping list, the house armed on the way out, and a map — all by just asking.
On an NVIDIA box the brain runs at home — a fully local, natively multimodal model on vLLM. Voice and vision stay on-device; nothing leaves the house.
No GPU? The installer detects your hardware and points the brain at a cloud model of your choice — OpenRouter, OpenAI, or Anthropic. Runs on a Mac mini, a Pi, or any small PC.
Home Assistant ships inside the stack — Orb2 discovers your devices, helps pair the stubborn ones, and organizes the whole house by room.
