What is Smart Home
A true smart home is a system that provides comfort, security, and energy efficiency autonomously. While some actions are easier to control via smartphone or voice command, most should work without user intervention. That’s what MajorDom is — a truly smart home that works autonomously in the background.
Benefits of Smart Home
- Automate routines: Dim lights at bedtime, adjust the thermostat when you leave, and lock doors at — all automatically.
- Optimise energy: Cut down on energy waste by turning off lights in empty rooms and adjusting HVAC based on occupancy and weather conditions.
- Peace of Mind: Get real-time alerts for leaks, fires, break-ins, or when your washing machine finishes — monitor everything from your phone, anywhere.
- Vacation mode: Automate lights and TV to make it look like someone’s home while you’re away, with security fully active.
- Remote control: Check if you left the lights on or the door unlocked from anywhere in the world, and adjust your home’s temperature remotely for a warm welcome.
- Intercom: Send voice messages to all speakers in your home.
- Personalised assistant: Receive spoken notifications, set custom alerts, control your home hands-free, and manage lists, calendars, and more without touching your phone.
- And many more: Imagine a custom movie night scene that dims lights, lowers blinds, and sets up your sound system—all with a single voice command.
The Best of Both Worlds: Usability and Functionality
Vendor products often limit functionality, while popular open-source systems are overwhelming. MajorDom offers the best of both worlds—a plug-and-play solution with no compromises.
MajorDom Makes Home Automation Really Simple
We believe technology should be available to everyone. While smart homes have traditionally had a high entry barrier, MajorDom is here to change that. It’s not only simple to use but, more importantly, simple to start with — making home automation accessible to tech enthusiasts, families, kids, and even complete non-tech-savvy beginners.
Complete Plug&Play Solution
Unlike other open-source platforms, MajorDom offers both hardware and software, delivering a truly comprehensive plug-and-play experience.
Easy as a Game
Getting started is easy — no lengthy preparation or complicated installation required. It’s like playing a game with levels. Start with MajorDom Hub and MajorDom Audio, and our app will guide you step by step on your journey to a smarter home.
Intuitive and Friendly Interface
MajorDom provides a single app for everything, with a simple and user-friendly interface. No need for complicated dashboards with tons of graphs and charts — this is your home, not a spaceship. Check your home’s status at a glance, control devices, and set up scenes and automations with ease. Your digital majordomo handles everything else.
Vendor Unlock and Wide Device Support
It's all about freedom. Vendors lock users in their ecosystems, so you can't use a device of another brand. But MajorDom breaks those barriers. There are many protocols, and the good thing is that MajorDom can handle all of them: WiFi, Bluetooth, Matter, ZigBee, Z-Wave-whatever. It even detects most devices automatically for easy pairing. Pick any, it just works. And even if you found an extremely rare device that doesn't — don't worry, either our team or the open source community will fix it soon.
Family and Guests Ready
MajorDom is designed to be intuitive for everyone. You can easily share access with family and guests while maintaining full control. But automations handle most tasks in the background, ensuring that everyone can enjoy the convenience without needing to manage it themselves.
MajorDom Makes Home Truly Smart
Automations
In MajorDom, you can set up any scenario with ease in a few taps. Or just describe your idea and let Archie do the work. If you’re unsure, add all your devices and check the suggestions section. It doesn’t just analyze your devices; it learns your habits and patterns for better recommendations. You can even allow it to add scenes and automations without confirmation for an even more magical experience. We call it Smart Automations.
Meet Archie: Your Personal Assistant
Archie, your personalized voice assistant, listens in multiple languages, understands complex contexts, and handles multiple commands in a single request. But Archie isn’t just for controlling your home — it manages your day-to-day tasks, provides information, and integrates seamlessly with your calendar, reminders, notes, contacts, and more. Powered by large language models, Archie’s skills are limitless. Top of the line.
Archie embodies MajorDom's core values: privacy, autonomy, plugins, and user-friendliness. It operates entirely on-device, but internet expands its possibilities even further.
MajorDom — Smart Home that is Actually Reliable
Privacy at the Core
All current vendor products operate through the cloud and, what's more, are owned by the same companies that profit from selling user data, running ads, or hosting marketplaces. In contrast, we’re convinced that privacy and security must be foundational. That’s why MajorDom stores all data locally and processes it on-device. For remote control, communication is end-to-end encrypted, ensuring that only you can access your home. With MajorDom, your data remains yours.
Always On, Even Offline
Another advantage of on-device processing — it doesn’t rely on the internet. No matter what happens to the cloud or your internet provider, your home stays smart, as if nothing happened.
Ownership, Not Renting
Since you own the hardware and the software runs entirely on-device, you’re always in control of your home and your data. It’s about ownership, not renting. Your home — your rules.
MajorDom Is Open in Every Way
Open Source Transparency
MajorDom is built on open-source technology, ensuring complete transparency. You can see, trust, and even customize every part of your smart home system. Transparency is at the core of our commitment to your privacy and security.
Open for Innovations: Meet Idea Forge
We want to make it as easy as possible for people to integrate their ideas — whether hardware or software. That’s why we created the ‘Idea Forge.’ This platform transforms user proposals into practical features. Anyone can submit ideas through the suggestion form — no coding required, just a spark of innovation.
These suggestions then appear on a community voting board, allowing everyone to influence the development process. Democracy in action.
Open for Extensions and Customizations
But it’s not just a waiting game. If you’re feeling adventurous or just can’t wait, roll up your sleeves and code any feature yourself. You contribute, you create, and who knows — you might just end up part of the MajorDom team.
MajorDom’s plugin system makes this even easier — any community-built feature can be installed directly through the UI. Developers can implement their ideas as plugins or propose them for integration into MajorDom’s core via merge requests.
Open for ALL Devices (DIY Friendly)
It’s not just about unlocking support for devices from all brands and manufacturers. With MajorDom, you can integrate anything as a fully functional smart home accessory in just minutes: from your Raspberry Pi to an Arduino. For example, imagine customizing LED lights or automating plant watering.
