Product description: Home Assistant Yellow Kit PoE - intelligent switchboard - ZigBee / Thread - Nabu Casa YELLOW-KIT-POE
Raise the standard of your smart home with the Home Assistant Yellow control unit! This advanced system allows you to easily build home automation on the Home Assistant platform, integrating thousands of devices in one place. Thanks to this, you can control all your Smart Home devices from one Home Assistant application. The Home Assistant Yellow control panel is equipped with the Multiprotocol ZigBee and Thread system , which allows you to add almost any device supporting these standards. Additional installation convenience is provided by the possibility of power supply via PoE (Power over Ethernet), which allows the control panel to be powered directly through the network cable, minimizing the number of cables needed. The headquarters stores data locally , which ensures its full security. It requires Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4 (not included) to operate and supports M.2 Key M drives in sizes 2230 / 2242 / 2260 / 2280. The device is enclosed in a transparent housing, with easy access to connectors and buttons. The kit also includes a heat sink, thermal tapes and an appropriate power supply.

Open platform in hardware
A lot of time and resources have been invested in developing Home Assistant products. The manufacturer wants others to be able to see the work done and create their own great smart home products. That's why the Nabu Casa team is making Home Assistant Yellow diagrams available as open source software. We encourage you to read the Home Assistant Yellow disc and view the available source files .
Works with Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4 (CM4)
For the proper operation of the Home Assistant Yellow smart home control unit, it is necessary to use a Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4 (CM4) minicomputer, which is not included in the set and must be purchased separately. A module with at least 2 GB of RAM and 16 GB of eMMC memory is required. It is worth noting that the Lite versions of this module do not have built-in Flash memory, which in such cases requires the use of an NVMe SSD drive. Some users have reported these drives not working properly with Home Assistant Yellow.
The device requires Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4 for proper operation.
Home Assistant Yellow has a built-in ZigBee / Thread module, making it compatible with thousands of devices.
Wide compatibility
The Home Assistant Yellow control unit allows integration with thousands of home automation platforms, which enables cooperation with a wide range of intelligent devices - from lighting, through heating, to security systems. Additionally, the built-in ZigBee and Thread communication system allows integration with even more Smart Home devices. If you already use devices based on Apple HomeKit, Google Home, Samsung SmartThings or Amazon Alexa, you can easily transfer their data to Home Assistant and manage them with one application.
Data safety
The Home Assistant platform pays special attention to protecting user data and privacy. Unlike many other Smart Home solutions that rely on the cloud, Home Assistant Yellow stores data locally, which significantly reduces the risk of data leakage or unauthorized access. Regular updates also ensure protection against new threats and security vulnerabilities, which is crucial in the dynamically developing world of cybercrime.
Home Assistant Yellow works locally, does not require a cloud connection, so you will maintain complete privacy.
