Introduction

Smart homes have evolved device by device, yet the promise of a truly unified household still feels out of reach. Cameras, lights, speakers, and storage units multiply, but they often operate in isolation--each with its own app, account, and logic. UGREEN is tackling this fragmentation head-on with HomeAgent, a local intelligence layer designed to bring storage, AI, security, and device control under one roof.

What Happened

At a launch event held at Gillette Stadium, UGREEN officially entered the AIoT space with the HomeAgent Series, alongside the new MagFlow Series accessories and the MasterAgent MA100. The centerpiece is HomeAgent, built on UGOS Pro--a Linux-based operating system that adds professional storage management, security, and sync capabilities to the smart home. Unlike standalone hubs that control individual devices, HomeAgent functions as a centralized intelligence layer that unifies data, computing, and automation across the entire household.

The announcement also introduced Uliya, a natural-language voice assistant that lets users interact with the home without navigating multiple apps. Supported cameras can perform local AI analysis, identifying people, vehicles, pets, and packages, while AI Highlights automatically curates meaningful moments from long-term footage. With Matter and ONVIF support, HomeAgent can also integrate third-party devices from different brands into a single local ecosystem.

Why This Matters

The smart-home market is crowded, but the real bottleneck isnt a lack of connected devices--its that data, computing, and control remain trapped in silos. Security footage lives in one app, family files in another, and automations are scattered across separate platforms. UGREENs approach consolidates these layers into a single local architecture, meaning faster response times, enhanced privacy since data stays home, and a home that actually behaves as one coordinated system rather than a collection of disconnected gadgets.

Key Takeaways

  • HomeAgent serves as a local intelligence layer combining storage, AI computing, security, voice interaction, and whole-home device control.
  • UGOS Pro provides the NAS-grade foundation with professional storage management, robust security, and easy backup/sync.
  • Uliya enables natural spoken-language control of supported devices, camera status, and household information.
  • Local AI in supported SynCare cameras can recognize people, vehicles, pets, and packages, and generate searchable event summaries.
  • AI Highlights automatically creates highlight videos from meaningful family moments captured over time.
  • MasterAgent MA100, powered by NVIDIA Jetson Thor T5000, delivers up to 2070 FP4 TFLOPS of local AI computing for more demanding workloads.
  • Pre-orders for HomeAgent HA100, HA100 Pro, and MasterAgent MA100 are open, with a $50 deposit securing 50% off super early bird pricing.
  • The Kickstarter campaign launches October 27, 2026, and the MagFlow Series accessories are already available.

Conclusion

UGREEN isnt simply adding more connected devices to the market--its betting that the next era of smart homes will be defined by a shared local intelligence layer that stores, understands, and acts on household data where its created. If that vision succeeds, the competition shifts from who makes the smartest individual device to who builds the intelligence that makes every device feel like part of one cohesive home. For anyone tired of juggling apps and craving a truly integrated, private, and intuitive living space, HomeAgent offers a compelling glimpse of what's next.
