UGREEN announced its first smart home line, including cameras, a speaker, an e Paper frame, and an AI-powered NAS. The Home Agent HA100 stands out for its thoughtful design and ease of use.

With 15 years of IT experience, I found this NAS remarkably user-friendly. I set up the entire package in under 5 minutes without reading the manual. The unit features a magnetic filter, tool-less HDD bays, and a simple touchscreen setup.

The HA100 supports Matter devices, with Zigbee coming soon, and includes the Uliya voice agent. The AI Accelerator unit enables all-local smart home control, keeping data private.

Crowdfunding begins September 4, with a 50% discount for early backers until October 27.
