Overview
- UGREEN opened deposit-backed preorders on September 3–4 for three HomeAgent hubs (HA100, HA100 Pro, MasterAgent MA100) and confirmed a Kickstarter launch on October 27, with Super Early Bird discounts for early backers.
- The HomeAgent family is a NAS‑style hub line that stores camera footage locally, runs on‑device AI models to identify people, pets, vehicles and packages, and offers natural‑language control through an onboard assistant called Uliya.
- UGREEN says the hubs act as Matter controllers and support Wi‑Fi, Thread, Bluetooth, ONVIF/RTSP and PoE today with Zigbee coming later, but initial third‑party compatibility lists are limited and the company recommends approved devices first.
- Early pricing for Super Early Bird deals was published across outlets — reported entry prices include $899 (HA100) and $2,999 (HA100 Pro) — while reported MSRPs for the Nvidia‑powered MasterAgent vary widely, leaving the true top‑tier cost unclear.
- Reviewers praised polished hardware and local processing for privacy and no monthly storage fees, but noted caveats: some features need internet access, some AI functions depend on the hub, and the crowdfunding rollout leaves software maturity and long‑term updates unproven.
