FAQ
Is my data private?
Your Home Assistant instance runs in its own isolated container on UK-based servers, with its own encrypted storage. We never sell your data, we don't look inside your instance without your permission, and you can export a full backup or delete everything at any time. We act under UK GDPR.
What happens if my internet connection drops?
Your Zigbee devices keep working locally: switches, buttons and many automations paired directly between devices carry on. The cloud dashboard and cloud automations pause and resume automatically when your connection returns, picking up exactly where they left off. If you need fully offline automations, we can supply a Home Assistant Green that runs everything in your home, with the cloud used for remote access and backups.
Do I keep local control?
Yes. With a Home Assistant Green you have full local control, with HomeDash adding remote access, backups and dashboards on top. With the Dongle-M, devices connect through a secure, encrypted tunnel, so nothing is exposed to the internet and you never need to open ports on your router.
Do I need to open ports or have a static IP?
No. Remote access works through an outbound encrypted tunnel, so there's no port forwarding, dynamic DNS or static IP needed.
Can I cancel any time?
Yes. Hosting is monthly with no contract and no setup fee. Cancel whenever you like, and take a full backup of your instance with you.
Which devices work?
Thousands of Zigbee devices (bulbs, plugs, sensors, thermostatic radiator valves), plus Wi-Fi and cloud integrations from popular smart-home, energy and heating brands that Home Assistant supports.
