Control everything. Share nothing.
A quieter kind of smart home. Open-source control that keeps your devices, your data, and your everyday life on your network.
Smart home. Private Life.
Privacy by design
Your controller keeps devices, state, automations, and history. The cloud can coordinate who reaches it, but it never holds a readable copy of your home.
Local-first, cloud when needed
On your network, control stays local and keeps working if the internet drops. If that path is down, a paired app falls back to an end-to-end encrypted relay, then returns to the LAN as soon as it can.
Open source, inspectable
Read the code, fork it, and run the controller yourself. Nemu is Apache-2.0, so you can see what runs inside your home.
How it works
Your home. Your rules. Your network.
A controller on hardware you own. Devices stay on your LAN, and the cloud only coordinates who can reach them.
01Run the controller at home
Install Nemu on a home server or a Raspberry Pi. Each Home has one Controller, and you own the hardware.
02Keep devices on your network
Matter and Zigbee connect locally. Lights, locks, and sensors answer on your LAN.
03Connect from your apps
A phone or browser pairs on the network. Away from home, it falls back to an end-to-end encrypted relay.
Everyday control
Everything you need. Nothing watching.
LAN-speed control
On your network, apps talk to the Controller directly. A switch flips without a round trip through a vendor cloud.
Real-time updates
While you are on the LAN, device state arrives as it changes. Connected apps stay in sync with the Home.
Matter and Zigbee
Lights, locks, sensors, and plugs join the Controller. Capabilities describe what you can read and change.
Self-hosted controller
One Controller per Home, on hardware you run. It keeps devices, rooms, state, automations, and history.
Privacy by default
The cloud can coordinate who reaches the Controller. It never holds a readable copy of your home.
Relay when you leave
Away from the LAN, a paired app falls back to an end-to-end encrypted relay, then returns as soon as it can.
A home. Not a data source.
Typical cloud hub
Device data routed through vendor servers
Control tied to a company's terms and availability
A home profile that lives outside your home
With Nemu
Control runs on hardware you own
LAN first, with an encrypted relay when you leave
Open code you can inspect, fork, and self-host
Open by design
Trust what runs inside your home.
Nemu is Apache-2.0. Read the code, contribute, or run the Controller yourself.
