Local-First Home Automation

A smart home that never phones home.

Ambryon runs entirely on hardware in your house. Set it up and control it just by talking to a local AI — no cloud, ever. Nothing leaves your home, and it will never be made obsolete by someone else’s business decision.

The Problem

Today’s smart home isn’t private — or simple.

Everything runs through the cloud. The way you live — your routines, your voice, your habits — sits on servers you don’t control, which is a privacy problem before it’s anything else. It also stops working the moment your internet drops, and can go dark for good when a company pivots or discontinues the product you paid for.

And just getting it working is a project: a pile of apps, hubs, and accounts, and brittle automations stitched across gear that barely speaks the same language — each brand walling off its own. Powerful, maybe. But complicated, proprietary, and never really yours.

Our Promise

Effortless. Local. Yours.

Powerful enough to run your whole home, simple enough to ask out loud, private by design — and built to outlast the company that made it.

Everything stays home

Your voice, automations, and history live on hardware in your house. Nothing is sent to a cloud, because there isn’t one.

Simple setup

An easy mobile app does the setup — add Matter devices by scanning a QR code, while Lutron, Philips Hue, and ONVIF cameras are discovered automatically.

Yours for good

It lives on your hardware, not ours — no server to go dark, no company that can brick it. If Ambryon disappeared tomorrow, your home would keep working.

Works with what you own

Native Matter, plus bridges for Lutron, Philips Hue, and cameras that support ONVIF.

Key Features

Your home responds to you.

Speak to it or simply walk in — Ambryon reacts to your voice and your presence. Under the hood it’s all automations: routines that fire from a word, a sensor, or the time of day, and control as many devices as you like.

Responds to your voice

Speak naturally — Ambryon understands rooms, devices, and intent, with the AI running on your own hardware.

  • On-device wake word
  • Multi-turn conversations
  • Trigger any automation by voice

Responds to your presence

Walk into a room and the house reacts — no app to open, no button to press.

  • Presence & motion sensors
  • Per-room reactions
  • Hands-free by design

Everything is an automation

One automation can control many devices at once — say “good night” and every light turns off.

  • Triggered by voice, time, sun, presence, or sensors
  • Many devices in a single automation
  • Editable in plain language

Setup

From box to room in minutes.

No hub, no soldering, no IT department. Connect your phone, scan the pairing code, name the room.

01

Integrated commissioning

Add new Matter devices using the iOS or Android mobile app. No other apps needed.

02

Conversational automations

Say what you want — “turn off the lights when I leave home” — and the assistant builds the automation.

03

Automatic device discovery

Connects the mobile app to your Mac, finds Lutron and Philips bridges, and pairs voice satellites automatically.

Open

Runs on the open Matter standard, entirely on your hardware. Your devices, your network, your rules — no company in the loop.
