The Open Home Foundation fights for the fundamental principles of privacy, choice, and sustainability for smart homes. And for every person who lives in one. It does this by supporting the development of open source projects, and open connectivity and communication standards.
Learn moreOur principles
Share only what you want. With whom you want. Without modifying your behavior because of an algorithm. To ensure privacy, smart home devices must work locally, and cloud services must be optional and opt-in.
Across manufacturers. Without vendor lock-in, or arbitrary barriers to interoperability. To ensure user choice, devices and the management of data they gather should operate via open standards and local APIs.
And reduce your environmental impact. To ensure sustainability, devices must be built for durability, open to modification, and part of a system providing tools to track, automate, and reduce waste and emissions.
Our work
The Open Home Foundation owns and governs over 250 open source projects, standards, drivers, and libraries like Home Assistant, ESPHome, Music Assistant, HACS, Piper, and more.
We also advocate for better privacy, choice, and sustainability across the smart home industry.
Our collabs
Thanks to support from our commercial partners, Apollo Automation and Nabu Casa, we contribute to external member projects that align with our principles. These include WLED and Zigbee2MQTT.
Support us
Our work is primarily supported through subscriptions to Home Assistant Cloud, and by your contributions to open source projects aligned with our principles.
