The UGREEN HomeAgent is a ‘local-first’ way to make your smart home even smarter

Smart home tech often relies solely on cloud connections and pricey AI subscriptions, but UGREEN is delivering a local-first solution in its new HomeAgent collection, delivering cameras, speakers, and more that bring the bulk of the functionality and processing directly to your home.

The UGREEN AIoT – AI of Things – ecosystem is built around pairing hardware to a central hub that acts as your home’s brain. The HomeAgent HA100 and Pro are that “brain,” pairing to smart home gear such as lights, speakers, and cameras to not only store recordings, but process the data locally.

At the core of the experience is UGREEN’s Uliya AI assistant, which you can talk to directly through HomeAgent HA100 or through a connected Smart Speaker for Uliya. The assistant can handle simple tasks like controlling lights or playing music, of course, but can do a lot more with video recordings. You can ask questions such as “is there a package outside” or “where is my dog” and Uliya will be able to parse through camera recordings to find the answer rather than forcing you to have to scroll through timelines.

That’s all powered by the HomeAgent HA100. It can also acts as network storage for photos, household files, and more, all of which can be used as context for the local AI system – and there’s no monthly fee to store or access it.

UGREEN’s hardware lineup around the HomeAgent centerpieces includes cameras such as the SynCare cameras. These deliver the local recording capabilities that are so central to the system. SynCare OD800 Pro is a triple-lens outdoor camera with solar power and a built-in battery, while the OD600 Pro delivers the same powerful camera setup with power-over-ethernet. These have an 8MP primary camera and dual 5MP cameras with pan-tilt-zoom capabilities. They can zoom in up to 9x, feature motion tracking and a built-in spotlight, as well as color night vision and IP66 dust/water protection.

Meanwhile, the SynCare Indoor Cam ID500 Pro is a pan-tilt-zoom camera meant to be used inside to capture events in an entire room. It features 4K imaging, 360-degree pan and 160-degree vertical tilt while supporting up to 8x digital zoom, motion tracking, and even baby-cry detection. It also has a physical shutter for your privacy.

There are also two smart frames, the UGREEN Gallery E-Paper Smart Frame mounts on the wall to display photos and artwork, while the UGREEN Gallery LCD Smart Frame can sit on a table or hang on the wall, showing photos and videos, while also integrating with the rest of your smart home’s functions.

UGREEN has its own smart speaker for the system, and you can also integrate select Matter hardware as well, including smart lighting, robot vacuums and other smart home devices.

The UGREEN HomeAgent ecosystem will start at $799 for a limited time when its Kickstarter campaign launches on April 13, 2027, with upgraded packages that drastically increase AI processing power, storage, and the types of devices you can connect to the system.

You can reserve your UGREEN HomeAgent today to lock in early bird pricing. Reservations are open from September 4, 2026, through April 12, 2027, and deposits can be canceled for a refund any time before the campaign ends. Shipping will begin in late June 2027, with different phases for different products.
