Start Here: Local Hardware Integrations
Sensors, controllers, and devices that work fully offline.
Welcome to the Hardware pillar. We cover sensors, controllers, and devices that integrate locally — Zigbee, Z-Wave, Matter, ESPHome, and more — with no required cloud round-trip.
- Choosing radios and coordinators (Zigbee/Z-Wave/Thread)
- Flashing and integrating ESP devices with ESPHome
- Wiring guides and reliability tips
Buying hardware? We flag what works locally before you spend a cent.
