Show HN: Zumungo – AI-driven home automation

Zumungo released an AI-driven home automation platform at zumungo.com that wraps open source projects including Home Assistant, Frigate, Whisper, go2rtc, Piper, OpenAI and Ollama in a user interface aimed at non-professional users. Zumungo includes built-in servers for Matter, Thread, Zigbee, Z-Wave, MQTT, Bluetooth, TCP and mDNS, an event engine usable by users and AI agents, and settings to select a cloud agent from Claude, Gemini or OpenAI or a local agent from Llama, Mistral, Qwen, DeepSeek and Phi, with the company advising 16GB or more of GPU memory to run a local agent. The platform ships an iOS app, an Android app downloadable from the Zumungo server, and installs via one line on any Linux machine or a ready-made Raspberry Pi image.

Just released Zumungo AI driven Home Automation zumungo.com. Zumungo uses the power and flexibility of well established open source projects such as HomeAssitant, Frigate, Whisper, go2rtc, Piper, Open AI, Ollama, etc. It wraps everything in easy to use user interface for non professional users. In addition Zumungo allows users to add their own devices that are not part of the catalog. Of course Zumungo is full blown Home Automation platform and has build-in servers for managing all IoT protocols such as Matter, Thread, Zigbee, Zwave, MQTT, BT, TCP, mDNS etc. Special attention is paid to security and camera management all the way to implementing Vision AI. In my tests Zumungo announces "UPS truck approaching the drive way. A person carrying a package walks towards the door". This announcement is processed by an event and results in "UPS delivery" on the GH speakers around the house. Zumungo has it's own event engine that is easy to use by both the user as well as AI Agent. User can tell AI agent " Create an event to open the garage door and turn on the porch light, upon my arrival home on foot or by car tracked by zumungo geo fencing". Option exist for users to design their own panels to display on tablets on the wall or desktop computers for even easier management of the house by family members, guests, kids etc. For example if you rent your ADU on Airbnb than you can create dedicated panel on a tablet for guests to use that controls their rooms only and has no access to the main house. Zumungo has it's own mobile app available at iOS store. For Android devices it is downloadable from Zumungo server itself. As far as AI goes, Zumungo offers simple interface in settings for user to pick and choose online AI agent from the major 3 Claude, Gemini or Open AI or pick a local agent from a list of various agents. Available local agents include Llama, Mistral, Qwen, DeepSeek, Phi and others. Zumungo always updates the agents to the best and latest and always vets them for licensing and legal compliance. Zumungo also advises user what kind of hardware is needed for particular agent to run typically 16GB or more of GPU memory. Trying Zumngo is easy. One line on any Linux machine or ready made RPi image - download-flash and go. See "get started" at Zumungo web site.
