Useful takeaways from this story.

HomeAgent centers on local-first processing and storage: hubs process video and files on-device and offer no monthly storage fees.

Hubs and cameras work with common smart home protocols and Matter, plus Ugreen’s Uliya voice assistant for local voice control and event notifications.

Ugreen’s lineup includes HA100 and HA100 Pro hubs, a MasterAgent MA100, SynCare 4K cameras, Gallery LCD smart frames, and a smart speaker — designed to link Ugreen hardware and supported third-party products.

# What Ugreen announced

Ugreen introduced HomeAgent, a new smart home platform built to run key functions locally rather than relying on cloud services. The platform combines on‑device AI, local storage for video and files, smart home device control, and a set of companion products including 4K cameras and display frames.

# How the product lineup is organized

The HomeAgent family includes multiple hub models (HA100 and HA100 Pro), a higher‑end MasterAgent MA100, SynCare 4K cameras, a Gallery LCD smart frame series, and a Ugreen smart speaker paired with the Uliya voice assistant. Ugreen positioned the announcement at a public reveal on September 1 and is packaging the hardware and software as an integrated ecosystem.

# Local AI and storage: what it does

A selling point repeated across coverage is the absence of mandatory monthly storage fees when homeowners keep footage and files on the device.

# Protocols, compatibility and third‑party devices

# Use cases and user experience

# Privacy and local‑first architecture

Ugreen frames HomeAgent as a local‑first platform: footage, photos and device activity can remain on the hub, processed there by the onboard AI. That local processing model is positioned as an alternative to cloud‑dependent smart home setups, with on‑device summarization and search features.

# Pricing and high‑end hardware notes

Ugreen offered multiple hub models and a master device in its lineup. Coverage notes a wide range in hardware capability: the top model referenced in reporting runs on an Nvidia Jetson Thor platform and is priced in the high end of the market. Other models target mainstream consumers with lower price points, though specific retail pricing and broad availability were not detailed across reports.

# Where HomeAgent fits for buyers

If you want an integrated system that emphasizes local storage and on‑device AI, HomeAgent bundles that approach with Matter support and broad protocol compatibility. The product family mixes Ugreen hardware (cameras, frames, speakers, hubs) and initial third‑party device compatibility to serve users who prefer to reduce cloud dependency while retaining modern smart‑home features.
