Read the full description

Run your home from a native iPhone app on a hub you own — a small computer such as a Raspberry Pi, on your own Wi-Fi. Pair Zigbee and Matter devices, ask the assistant, and describe a rule for an AI agent to write. AI runs on your own Anthropic or OpenAI key.

Could you build this?

Partial The hub backend, AI rule layer, and web pieces are doable, but native iOS, Zigbee/Matter pairing across device vendors, and reliable local hardware integration are real engineering hurdles.

What it would actually take: Use Home Assistant or the Matter SDK plus a Zigbee coordinator (for example via zigbee2mqtt) as the device layer, a Python or Go service on a Raspberry Pi as the hub, and a Swift/SwiftUI iOS app with local-network discovery. The hard parts are Matter commissioning and certification-adjacent edge cases, flaky Zigbee mesh behavior, and secure remote access without a cloud. Building it well needs embedded/IoT networking experience, though much of it can be assembled from open-source components.
