Nabu Casa, Inc.

Nabu Casa, Inc. was founded in 2018 by Paulus Schoutsen, the original creator of Home Assistant, along with Ben Bangert and Pascal Vizeli. The company is headquartered in Malmö, Sweden, and operates as the primary commercial entity behind the Home Assistant open-source smart home ecosystem.

The company's main product is Home Assistant Cloud (marketed as Nabu Casa), a subscription service priced at $6.50 per month that provides remote access, voice assistant integration, and webhook relay for Home Assistant installations without requiring manual network configuration. Nabu Casa also designs and sells official hardware, including the Home Assistant Green hub, the Home Assistant Yellow hub built around the Raspberry Pi Compute Module, and the Home Assistant SkyConnect USB adapter supporting Zigbee and Thread/Matter protocols. Revenue from subscriptions funds ongoing development of the open-source Home Assistant project.

Nabu Casa is bootstrapped and has not disclosed external funding. The company employs a small distributed team and funds core Home Assistant development through its subscription revenue model. Home Assistant itself has a large community of users, and Nabu Casa's hardware and cloud products serve as the primary commercial layer supporting that ecosystem. The company has grown its hardware lineup incrementally since introducing its first devices around 2022.
