Your smart home.
Your data. Your hardware.

A complete smart home in a box that runs entirely inside your house. No cloud account, no monthly fee, no company that can switch it off. Plug it in, answer seven questions, and the hub is live with your first sensor reading — no terminal, no YAML, no config files to hand-edit.

Optional — it genuinely helps to know:

One email when it ships. Nothing else, ever. No cookies, no ad trackers.

Planned pricing

Two kits, one hub

Both come with the same brain — the difference is how much of the house you cover on day one. Sensors are standard Zigbee, so you can add more from any brand later without asking us.

Essential

€349

Cover a room or two, expand when you want.

  • Raspberry Pi 5 hub + pre-flashed SD card
  • Zigbee coordinator
  • SSD storage for files and history
  • 2× temperature & humidity sensors
  • Every app included — dashboards, vault, cloud, photos, ad blocking

Included

It replaces more than your smart home app

The kit is built around a small private server, so it arrives already doing the jobs you were paying a subscription for. Every one of these runs on the box in your hallway — nothing is hosted, nothing is rented.

Home dashboards

Room temperatures, humidity, motion, doors, and energy use — pre-built, not blank canvases.

Password manager

Full-featured vault with browser and phone apps, synced across your devices.

replaces ~€3/mo

Personal cloud storage

Files, calendar, and contacts on your own SSD, reachable from every device in the house.

replaces ~€5/mo

Photo backup

Your phone camera roll backs up automatically, with albums and face search — at home.

replaces ~€3/mo

Network-wide ad blocking

Blocks ads and trackers for every device on your WiFi, including the ones you can't install software on.

Automations that ship working

Night mode, motion lighting, away mode, heating schedules, and daily backups — configured out of the box.

Alerts that matter

Water leak, fridge too warm, door left open, service down. Delivered in seconds by email or Telegram.

Encrypted, and closed by default

Everything on your network is encrypted, nothing is exposed to the internet, remote access is opt-in over a private tunnel, and backups are encrypted before they touch anything that isn't yours.

Roughly €11–15 a month of subscriptions, running on hardware you own outright.

Resilience

Your data survives the hardware

A box that holds your passwords and photos has to answer an obvious question: what happens when it breaks? Here's the honest answer.

Backed up every night, out of the box

Your vault, automations, and settings are snapshotted nightly to a second storage device inside the hub. Encrypted, versioned, automatic. Nothing to configure.

Your photos are never the only copy

Dilgis mirrors your camera roll — it doesn't take it hostage. Your phone keeps its originals, so your photos always live in two places.

Plug in a drive, get full backups

Connect any USB drive and Dilgis backs up everything to it nightly, encrypted. A green tile on your dashboard tells you it ran. An alert tells you if it didn't.

In the box

Not a download. An actual kit.

Every part chosen, tested, and pre-configured to work together. The SD card arrives already flashed — there is nothing to compile and nothing to source.

  • Raspberry Pi 5 hub The brain of the house. Runs everything locally, draws less power than a lightbulb.
  • Pre-flashed SD card Full software stack, dashboards, and automations already on it. Boot and go.
  • Zigbee coordinator Talks to hundreds of off-the-shelf sensors — not just the ones we ship you.
  • Temperature & humidity sensors One per room, battery powered, paired at the factory. Stick them on a wall.
  • Door, window & water leak sensors Know the back door was left open. Find the leak before the floor does.
  • SSD storage & battery backup Your files and history live on real storage, and a power cut doesn't take the house offline.

For tinkerers

No walls, no lock-in, no waiting for a feature request

Nothing here requires a terminal — and nothing here hides one from you. Every reading lands on a documented MQTT topic, the local REST API is yours to call, the automation flows are yours to edit, and the sensor firmware is Go you can rewrite and reflash.

# Every sensor publishes on a documented topic
homekit/room/{room}/temperature   float32 °C
homekit/room/{room}/humidity      float32 %
homekit/fridge/temperature        float32 °C
homekit/motion/{location}         bool
homekit/door/{location}/state     open | closed
homekit/leak/{location}           bool
homekit/plug/{name}/power         float32 W
# And a local REST API for everything else
GET  /api/v1/sensors
GET  /api/v1/sensors/{id}
GET  /api/v1/services
POST /api/v1/services/{name}/restart
GET  /api/v1/alerts

# Sensor firmware is Go. Flash your own.
# Add a sensor we've never heard of in an afternoon.

Comparison

Where it actually sits

Every product below runs locally with no cloud account required — that's the price of entry in this category, not something to boast about. The real split is narrower: smart home hubs don't run your personal cloud, personal servers don't talk to your sensors, and none of them arrive with the sensors included.
