Ugreen, known for its phone power banks, chargers, and NAS storage solutions, is moving into the smart home in a big way. At IFA 2026, the company launched its HomeAgent smart home platform that combines security camera storage, on-device AI, and smart home control in one system, managed by a voice assistant called Uliya, with the promise that everything runs locally.
At the core of Ugreen's HomeAgent system is a hub that acts as the brain of your smart home, running a local-first AI that you can interact with using natural language. There are three hub configurations, each storing all data locally and processing video footage on-device, keeping it private and without monthly subscription fees.
The big pitch is that your data never needs to leave your home, addressing two key smart-home concerns: privacy and recurring subscriptions. The system provides features like cross-camera tracking, smart alerts for people, vehicles, pets, and packages, and live status questions such as "where is my pet now?"
There's also AI-powered video search and text descriptions of events, along with natural language voice control of smart home devices and automations. Along with local storage of camera footage, the system can store personal files including music, movies, and photos.
The HomeAgent HA100 will launch with early bird pricing of $899 which increases to $2,999 for the HA100 Pro, and a whopping $9,999 for the Nvidia-powered MasterAgent MA100 model featuring a Jetson Thor T5000 with up to 2,070 TFLOPS of AI performance.
