Thanks so much Guilhem, this one really made my day! 🙏

“It just runs” is exactly what I’m aiming for: a smart home should fade into the background, not become a second job. And yes, 2026 has been a big year, especially with external integrations. Having long-time users like you sticking around is a big part of what keeps me going.

Thanks for taking the time to write this, and for all your support over the years! 💚

Thanks a lot Thomas, that means a lot! 🙏 Almost 10 years in, and still having fun building it 😄

About Umbrel: we looked into an official app a few years ago, but since Umbrel was built mainly as a Bitcoin node, the sandboxing was too strict for what a smart home software needs (access to USB dongles, the local network, etc.). Things may have changed since then, and you’re right that it would be a great acquisition channel, so I’ll take another look!

And glad you like the new design, we put a lot of work into it. Let me know how your install goes, I’d love your feedback 🙌
