Yes, that’s why we mentioned it four thousand times on this site. Everything we make is local. It always has been, and it always will be. You should be in control of your devices, and you should never be afraid that your device will stop working if some random company goes out of business or decides to stop supporting it. Your product is yours to do whatever you would like with, forever.

Hubs are gross. We really don’t like them. Our sensors connect via ESPHome, completely locally to Home Assistant. You’ll never have to purchase any sort of hub from us to make your sensors work. In the future, we plan to release devices with different connectivity types as well, and we are committed to ensuring that our devices do not require a proprietary hub that you have to purchase from us.
