Put real intelligence in every home you ship
A local intelligence layer runs on the OEM's own hardware, learns how each household actually lives and manages energy, comfort and safety together. Nothing leaves the home, and the household stays in control.
100% local Works offline Explainable decisions Data never leaves the home
ForestHub gives smart home OEMs a local AI decision layer they ship inside their own product. It runs on the manufacturer's own edge hardware, coordinates the home's existing thermostats, lights, sensors and locks toward energy, comfort and safety at the same time, and works fully offline with no cloud. Household data never leaves the home, and every decision is logged and explainable.
Smart home features that depend on the cloud
Buyers expect a home that thinks, but most smart home stacks send every reading to a cloud. They stop working when the internet drops, they raise privacy and regulatory questions, and each device optimizes on its own. The result is a box of features, not a home that acts as one.
Cloud dependence breaks trust
Households do not want their cameras, habits and routines living in someone else's cloud, and a product that goes dark during an outage feels fragile.
Devices that do not cooperate
The thermostat, the lights, the locks and the sensors each optimize alone, so the home never acts as a single system.
Regulation is tightening
The EU Cyber Resilience Act raises the bar for connected products, and cloud-first designs are hard to secure, audit and keep updated.
Observe, plan and act, on the OEM's hardware
The agent reads the home's sensors continuously, weighs energy, comfort and safety against the household's preferences and drives the devices that are already installed. It plans ahead instead of only reacting, and it explains every move in plain language.
- 1
Look ahead
The forecast is cold tonight and the family is usually home by six. The agent pre-warms the living areas just in time, dims lights as the house settles and holds back heat in empty rooms.
- 2
Balance every goal at once
It lowers the energy bill, keeps every room comfortable and watches for leaks, smoke and open doors at the same time, not one goal after another.
- 3
Explain and stay in control
Ask why the heating came on early and it answers in plain language. Every decision is logged and auditable, and the household sets the rules and can override any action.

On-Device Agent
Runs 100% locally on the OEM's hardware
Acts
Energy, comfort and safety in one product
Households do not buy sensors. They buy a lower bill, a home that feels right and peace of mind. The agent optimizes all three at once, on the OEM's own hardware. The energy range below comes from the US EPA.
One local layer for the whole home
Energy that pays for itself
The agent learns occupancy, weather and tariff and manages heating, cooling and lighting together. EPA ENERGY STAR reports certified smart thermostats save about 8% on heating and cooling, and it all runs on the OEM's own hardware.
Comfort that fits each home
It learns each household's routine, pre-warms the bathroom for the morning, dims the lights as the house settles and adapts to how rooms are actually used. No two homes are treated the same.
Safety that reacts in seconds
It watches for water leaks, smoke, open doors and unusual patterns, responds locally in seconds and alerts the household. No cloud round trip, so it works even during an outage.
Audit trail and agent registry
Every decision is logged and explainable, and an agent registry tracks which sub-agents run on each device. That matters for support, warranty and Cyber Resilience Act readiness.
Vision, voice and existing devices
On-device cameras with computer vision recognize a person at the door or a package, local voice answers questions, and it works with existing Zigbee, Matter, Wi-Fi and Modbus devices. Images and audio never leave the home.
Fleet and over the air updates
Manage the installed base of shipped devices from one place, push improvements over the air and roll a better energy strategy out to every home, all without touching household data.
Watch it run fully local
The strongest proof is seeing it manage a real home on real hardware with no cloud. Book a demo, then pilot it on your own devices.
See a fully local smart home in action
Book a live demo and watch the agent manage energy, comfort and safety on real hardware, with no cloud and nothing leaving the home. Then run a pilot on your own devices.
Talk to usHousehold data never leaves the home
The agent runs entirely on the OEM's own edge hardware. No cloud, no household data leaving the home, and it keeps managing energy, comfort and safety even when the internet drops. Every action is logged and auditable, which matters for households and for connected-product regulation.
- 100% local, no cloud dependency
- Keeps running through internet outages
- Works with existing Zigbee, Matter and Wi-Fi devices
- Full audit trail of every decision
- Explainable, not a black box
- Designed for EU Cyber Resilience Act readiness
Questions smart home OEMs ask
Do we have to run our own cloud?
No. The intelligence runs locally on your own edge hardware inside the product. There is no cloud backend to build or secure, and household data never leaves the home.
Does it work without internet?
Yes. Everything runs on-device, so the home keeps managing energy, comfort and safety during outages, and no data leaves the house.
How much energy can it save?
EPA ENERGY STAR reports certified smart thermostats save about 8% on heating and cooling. We do not promise a fixed number. The real figure gets measured in a pilot on your devices and real homes.
Can it use cameras and voice?
Yes. On-device cameras with computer vision and local voice run entirely on your hardware, so images and audio never leave the home.
Does it work with the devices we already ship?
Yes. It sits on top of existing thermostats, lights, locks and sensors over Zigbee, Matter, Wi-Fi and Modbus and coordinates them toward one goal. Nothing gets ripped out.
How does this help with the Cyber Resilience Act?
The design is built for CRA readiness by keeping execution local, logging every decision in a full audit trail and running signed images. It is security by design, not a compliance promise.
Ship the smart home your customers can trust
Start with a pilot on your own devices, measure real energy, comfort and safety in real homes, and keep every byte local the whole way.
Sources and notes
- 1Energy: US EPA ENERGY STAR reports that certified smart thermostats save about 8% on heating and cooling energy. Savings depend on the home, climate and habits, and get validated in a pilot, not promised.
- 2Comfort and safety: no clean independent percentage exists for residential settings, so these stay qualitative. The real effect gets measured in a pilot on the OEM's own devices.
