About Nabu Casa
Nabu Casa, Inc was founded in 2018 by the founders of both Home Assistant, the open source home automation platform, and Home Assistant OS, the operating system that turns your device into a smart home hub powered by Home Assistant. These projects have seen immense growth and have helped shape DIY home automation communities around the world.
After being involved in the Internet of Things industry for many years, we realized that there is a need for a cloud service that puts users, their privacy and their data first. Such a cloud can only be built as an extension to a platform that does the same: Home Assistant. With Nabu Casa we are building this cloud service and we’re calling it Home Assistant Cloud.
We are a profitable company with no external investors. Our funding comes directly from users who subscribe to Home Assistant Cloud and purchase Home Assistant hardware, ensuring our only stakeholders are our employees and our users. We also support other open‑source projects, including those focused on hardware, standards, and voice technology.

About Us
Nabu Casa funds the development of Home Assistant and other projects at the Open Home Foundation. We are best known as the organization driving the development of Home Assistant, the world’s largest free and open‑source smart home platform. More than two million households benefit from its home automation capabilities. Powered by a worldwide community of open‑source developers, GitHub ranked it the most active open‑source project in the world in 2024.
We were initially founded to ensure that the development of Home Assistant would remain sustainable as it kept growing, but over time it has grown to support more open home initiatives. In 2024, the Open Home Foundation was formed to protect these open‑source projects and ensure they thrive into the future. Nabu Casa is a commercial partner of the foundation, and our principles are aligned with a joint commitment to privacy, choice, and sustainability in the smart home. These are the values that we put at the heart of every decision we make.
Nabu Casa is profitable, has no external investors, and our only funding comes from people subscribing to Home Assistant Cloud and buying Home Assistant hardware. That means the only stakeholders we have to concern ourselves with are our employees and our users.
