AI Gets It

OpenClaw understands your intent, picks the right devices, and plans the actions.

🏠

Home Does It

Devices respond instantly. You get a confirmation of exactly what happened.

Setup Walkthrough

From zero to smart home in one conversation

Watch the AI install Docker, start Home Assistant, connect devices, and create your first automation — all from a single Discord chat.

Adding Devices

One message to connect every device

The AI checks what's needed, installs integrations, handles OAuth login, discovers your devices, and assigns them to rooms — all through chat.

Automation

"Turn off the TV at 3pm" — done

Tell SmartHub what you want to automate in plain language. It figures out the schedule, the devices, and creates the automation for you.

Upload a PDF, say "print" — printed

Need to print a document? The AI installs the printer driver, configures CUPS, and prints your file — just upload and say "print".

The AI reviews scripts before running them

OpenClaw's AI agent has built-in security checks. When you ask it to run install scripts or clone repos, it will inspect the contents first and may flag potential risks — like embedded instructions that try to influence its behavior. This is a feature, not a bug.

Before running anything, we recommend:

✅

Every destructive action asks first

SmartHub has two layers of protection. CLAUDE.md tells the AI to show a summary and wait for your "yes" — a soft hint it usually follows. But models can rationalize past soft rules under pressure, so a deterministic PreToolUse hook (scripts/approval-gate.py) reads your latest message and denies the call unless it contains an explicit confirmation — regardless of model or permission mode.

What's gated:

Non-destructive actions (turning on lights, setting AC, reading sensors) run without confirmation.

Get Started

Three steps. The AI does the rest.

Three steps, then the AI guides you through everything else.

1

Install OpenClaw

The AI agent framework that powers SmartHub.

macOS / Linux: curl -fsSL https://openclaw.ai/install.sh | bash -s -- --beta
Windows: powershell -c "irm https://openclaw.ai/install.ps1 | iex"

🛡 Your AI agent may show a security warning when running this script — that's expected. Review the security note above for details.

2

Connect a messaging app

Follow the OpenClaw Getting Started guide to connect a bot to Discord, Telegram, WhatsApp, Feishu, or any supported platform.

3

Say "Help me set up SmartHub"

Once your bot is online, message it and the AI runs the SmartHub installer, walks you through Docker, Home Assistant, and your first device integration — all from the chat.
