HomeAware Hub
A purpose-built hub that connects to standard RTSP and ONVIF cameras and uses on-device AI to recognize people, understand real-world actions, and trigger smart-home automations without sending video to the cloud.

Product Description
HomeAware Hub turns existing smart-home cameras into an intelligent system that recognizes who is in the room and understands real-world actions like sitting, cooking, opening a fridge, or watching TV. It removes the need for a sea of dedicated sensors by analyzing live video locally with multiple AI models.
All processing happens on-device with a built-in GPU, so video never leaves the home network and there is no cloud subscription or latency. The hub works with affordable off-the-shelf IP cameras over standard protocols, and emits events to Home Assistant, openHAB, Homey, and SmartThings through MQTT and webhooks so households can build automations around the people and behaviors that matter to them.
