Nexus Noki wants your smart home off the cloud

Editorial interest 83/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

Nexus Noki presents an open-source smart-home system for running cameras, sensors, and automations on your own hardware and home network.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-29 issue.

For: Self-hosting smart-home builders and embedded developers
Worth noticing: Motion is checked five times per second; object detection wakes only after motion, on a camera accelerator or the hub.

Field notes

The site describes two camera targets—Linux on BeagleY-AI and FreeRTOS on ESP32-P4—and browser live view with event clips and detections. For automations, a web app rule is compiled on the hub and handed to devices over Thread; the page says devices can run those rules without the hub. It also names ESP32 modules, BeagleY-AI, and Orange Pi as replaceable off-the-shelf hardware.
