A gentle wake-up
Sleep as Android caught a light sleep phase — the bedroom slowly brightens, and the kitchen light is already on.
Why Homer
Seven reasons people install Homer
The floor plan is the remote
Lights, sensors and cameras sit where they really are. The same home from above, in 3D, from inside and in a headset — and you can tap it everywhere.
A voice assistant that works offline
“Homer, turn off the bedroom light” is understood at home in a fraction of a second. If the internet drops, harder questions go to a model on your home computer, and the assistant keeps talking.
A voice of its own
Homer speaks in the voice you chose — even your own: a short recording is enough to clone it. The kids' room and the living room can have different voices.
Alongside Alice, not instead
Yandex speakers stay Alice. “Alice, lights on” and “Homer, lights on” control the very same home.
Alarms nobody can miss
Leak, smoke, gas: the speakers say it out loud, the bot writes to the family group, phones and tablets sound a siren. Whoever taps “Got it” first calms the whole home.
No manufacturer clouds
Zigbee and Matter directly, automations run in the home itself. The internet is only needed to check on your home from afar.
Remote repairs — with rollback
A technician connects only when you open access. An unconfirmed change rolls back on its own, and if your home goes offline, we're the first to know.
A day at home
What it looks like from inside
13:40
Someone at the door
The camera noticed a person and sent a clip with sound to Telegram. The cat in the hallway sends no notifications.
20:30
Evening
“Homer, play my music” — your likes play in order. “Make it warmer” — and the living room gets cosier.
03:15
A leak
The speakers say “leak in the bathroom”, the family gets a message. Whoever taps “Got it” first calms the home.
A plan, not a list
You look at your home, not at a table of entities
Rooms are where they really are. A light that's on glows with a halo; one that's off doesn't. From above you see at once how many lights are on and how much the home is drawing right now. The same home in axonometry, in 3D and from inside: one plan, only the view changes. The sun follows the real time and shines into the right windows.
Voice
“Homer, turn off the bedroom light” — and it goes off, even offline
Your home has a voice assistant of its own. A speaker in the room or a computer listens, and whichever is closer to you answers. Simple commands it understands by itself, right at home; harder questions go to a language model. You choose the name it answers to and the voice it speaks with.
Lights — instantly
“Turn on the kitchen light”, “make it warmer”, “red light in the living room” are handled on the spot, with no cloud and no “one moment”.
No internet — still an assistant
Speech recognition, voice and the language model live on your home computer with Homer Node. Offline its answers get simpler, but it won't go silent.
Your own voice
Record a minute of calm speech — and Homer speaks in that voice. It places stress by itself, and rare words can be fixed in a dictionary.
The nearest speaker answers
Heard in two rooms at once? The speaker closest to you answers, not all of them.
Alice — right there
The same rooms and lights obey Alice, and through the “Sobesednik Homer” skill you can talk to your home from a Yandex speaker.
Errands behind a PIN
You can ask for more than lights: music, a timer, figuring out why a light isn't responding. Anything serious happens only after you say your PIN.
Safety
A leak gets heard even when the app is closed
Leaks, smoke and gas are watched by the home itself, not by a tablet screen. When a sensor goes off, everyone knows at once: the speakers say it out loud, a message lands in the family chat, phones ring. Whoever taps “Got it” first calms the whole home: the siren and notifications stop on every device, and the chat shows who's on it.
By voice, on Telegram and by call
The speakers say what happened and where. The home has its own bot and group: the alarm gets through even if every phone in the house is off.
Cameras on the plan
The latest frame shows right on the plan, a tap opens live video with sound. Xiaomi and Yandex cameras — the ones you already have.
Events as clips
A person, motion or noise — Telegram gets a short clip, not a line saying “motion detected”. Sensitivity is set per camera.
Your hardware
Everything lives in your home and works without the internet
Homer Node
Your home computer becomes the brain of the home: it recognizes speech, talks, thinks and records the cameras. When a game needs the graphics card, the node steps aside.
Zigbee and Matter
Lights, sensors and outlets are added right from the app — with a button on the device or the QR code from the box. No manufacturer cloud needed.
On top of Home Assistant
Everything you've already set up keeps working, and the plan becomes one more — the clearest — way to control it.
Installed with one command
Raspberry Pi, Linux or Windows. A backup of the home is taken and restored with one command too — even on new hardware.
Updates with rollback
Home Assistant updates at a tap or by itself at night — with a copy of the settings and a rollback if the new version fails to start. The app reaches your devices from your own server, no app stores.
Remote repairs
Only when you open access, and only to Homer's settings. Any change the technician makes rolls back on its own unless you confirm it.
Comparison
How Homer differs from ready-made systems
To be fair: Yandex and Sber already run part of the home offline, and with Home Assistant you can build almost anything yourself. The difference is that Homer has it all at once, together, and we install it.
| Feature | Homer | Yandex Home | Sber | Aqara Home | Home Assistant | Homey Pro |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Lights and automations offline | Yes: everything lives on your home server | Partly: Zigbee and Matter; no sensor readings | Partly: Zigbee and Matter on one hub or speaker | Partly: automations on the M3 hub | Yes | Partly: flows run, the app needs the internet |
| Voice assistant offline | Yes: on a computer with Homer Node | Partly: Station 3, Midi and BORK; lights, outlets, scenes | Partly: SberBoom 2.0 only; lights, outlets, relays | No assistant of its own | Yes, if you build it (Assist) | No |
| Floor plan as the remote | Yes: plan, 3D, walk, headset | Not offered: a list of rooms | Not offered: a list of rooms | Not offered: a list of rooms | By hand: icons over a picture | Via third-party apps |
| A leak: who finds out | Speakers out loud, Telegram group, siren on phones and tablets; “Got it” calms everyone | Push; SMS and a call with Yandex Plus Multi; voice on a Station via your own scene | Push and SMS | Push and the hub siren | Push, voice, Telegram, a call — set up by hand | Push; voice via speaker apps |
| A voice of its own | Yes: cloned from a recording of your voice | Not offered | No: stock voices only | — | Not out of the box | — |
| Who installs it | We do, turnkey, and fix it remotely with rollback | You, or a private handyman | You | You or a certified installer | You | You or a certified installer |
Based on the manufacturers’ official help pages as of November 12, 2026. “Not offered” means we didn’t find it there. Things change fast; if you spot a mistake, let us know and we’ll fix it.

Everything else, in short
Lights
A dimmer like a hand
At the bottom of the scale lights go off one by one instead of all dimming: “3 of 5 on · 94 % each”.
Lights
The whole home at once
The command goes to a Zigbee group, no wave from room to room.
Lights
Color and warmth
In the room card, no separate app for every light brand.
Lights
A remote bound to the light
Direct Zigbee binding: the switch works even if the server is down.
Sensors
Each in its own way
Motion as a dot, temperature as a number, a leak across the whole screen.
Energy
Honest electricity
Only what was measured, with a note on what's missing. Day and night tariffs, a forecast for the month.
Automations
Links between cards
Run by the home, not the tablet. A chime on the speakers, an HTTP request, an MQTT message.
Setup
Set up in plain words
An AI assistant goes through the Home Assistant screens itself and shows what it changed.
Music
Your music
“Play my music” — your likes in order, shuffled only if you ask.
Sleep
A sleep-phase alarm
Sleep as Android wakes you with light, not just a ring.
Telegram
The home's bot
Alarms, camera clips and the home chat — in the family group.
Access
A key for the evening
A QR code for a guest, fine-grained rights, an expiry in days, revoked with one button.
Access
A “who switched it” log
Both from the app and with the switch on the wall.
3D
Interior
Floors, walls and furniture from a CC0 catalog. Walls and doors are edited on the plan, the home exports to Blender.
3D
Together from different cities
A walk through the home with voice and chat. Every message remembers where it was written.
3D
In a headset
Meta Quest: the home at full scale, lights switched from inside, furniture moved by hand.
Anywhere in the home
A tablet on the wall, a phone in your pocket, the TV in the living room, a browser anywhere
On a wide screen the plan and rooms sit side by side; on a phone the plan moves up and the rooms go down — and it's the very same home with the same state. A new device joins the home in a minute: show a QR code, and it's in.
Where the app can't be installed, there's the browser: the web version does almost everything the app does — from lights and cameras to editing the plan and automations.

FAQ
What people usually ask
What happens if the internet goes down?
Lights, sensors, automations, alarms on the speakers and voice commands to Homer keep working. Only access from afar and whatever lives in the cloud — Alice, for example — won't be available.
I already have Alice and Yandex devices.
They stay. Alice controls the same home as Homer, and a Yandex camera goes on the plan like any other.
I already run Home Assistant.
Homer installs on top: your integrations and automations keep working, and the plan becomes one more way to control them.
Who can see my cameras?
You and the people you opened cameras to. Guest access never shows cameras — neither in the app nor by voice.
What hardware is needed?
A small home server (Raspberry Pi, a mini PC or a Windows computer), a Zigbee adapter and the devices we pick for your home. For offline voice — a computer with Homer Node.
What if you disappear?
The home lives with you: the server, settings and backups are yours. A backup of the home is restored with one command on any hardware.
