// Why Home Assistant

The most capable smart-home platform in the world. Open, local, and yours.

CtrlSpace builds every system on Home Assistant because control belongs in the space you reside in, not in a vendor's data centre. The hub is installed on site and communicates with your devices directly, so the system you commission continues to operate independently of any manufacturer's app, subscription or support policy. The result is infrastructure that you own.

Freedom

Hardware is selected on merit rather than brand compatibility. You have the freedom of choice to integrate any device. We at CtrlSpace are willing to accept this challenge to make your house feel like a home.

Privacy

Sensor data, logs and camera footage remain on hardware in your home. Nothing is transmitted to third-party servers by design.

Speed

Commands are processed locally. Response is immediate, with no dependency on external server latency.

Reliability

Lighting, access control and scheduled automations continue to function during an internet outage. Only remote access is affected.

Future-proof

Zigbee, Z-Wave, Matter and Thread are supported today, with new standards delivered through software updates rather than hardware replacement.

Unlimited integrations

Thousands of native integrations cover climate control, blinds, access systems, energy monitoring, network equipment and audiovisual hardware.

// Local vs cloud

Two ways to run a smart home. Only one is truly yours.

Home Assistant · local

All data is retained on your own storage, under your control.
No recurring subscription is required to retain functionality.
A single interface governs every brand deployed in the property.
Closed cloud apps
Functionality depends on a remote service you neither own nor monitor.
Usage data is collected and commercialised by the manufacturer.
Existing features may be relocated behind a paid tier without notice.
Devices from different manufacturers cannot be coordinated.

Control the system that controls your space.
