UGREEN Launches Local AI Smart Home Hubs and Liquid-Cooled Wireless Chargers

UGREEN unveiled its first smart home ecosystem and liquid-cooled magnetic chargers at Gillette Stadium in Massachusetts on September 1. Pre-orders opened ahead of a formal crowdfunding drive in October 2026.

The Shenzhen-headquartered hardware manufacturer wants to shift smart home processing away from third-party cloud platforms. Running workloads on local hardware eliminates recurring subscription fees for end users.

Local Processing and NVIDIA Silicon

Hardware in the new lineup includes the HomeAgent HA100, the HA100 Pro, and the MasterAgent MA100. The MasterAgent runs on NVIDIA’s Jetson Thor T5000 processor and delivers up to 2,070 FP4 TFLOPS of local computing power. That lets it manage multi-device task coordination and voice interactions locally. Household data never routes through external servers. Both HomeAgent models support the Matter interoperability protocol. They connect accessories such as SynCare indoor and outdoor cameras, the Uliya smart speaker, and digital display frames.

Alongside the computing hubs, the company introduced three 25W magnetic wireless charging devices under its MagFlow badge. A 10,000mAh magnetic power bank priced at $149.99 uses a micro-pump liquid cooling system to control heat during fast charging. Other products include a three-in-one desktop charging stand for $159.99. A foldable two-in-one travel charger sells for $59.99 on Amazon and direct retail channels.

Hardware Margins Versus Subscription Revenue

Consumer electronics makers across Asia face slowing replacement cycles for basic charging accessories and cables. Moving upmarket into local computing hubs lets hardware vendors capture higher initial ticket prices. However, this strategy cuts off the recurring software subscriptions favored by Western competitors like Amazon Ring and Google Nest. UGREEN expects customer fatigue with monthly cloud storage fees will drive hardware sales.

Engineering risks center on software execution. Local AI models demand sustained developer support and reliable edge performance across third-party Matter devices. If on-device image parsing and voice recognition lag behind cloud alternatives, buyers will balk at the upfront hardware premium.

Expanding Beyond Commodity Accessories

Founded in 2012, UGREEN built retail distribution across more than 180 countries on fast chargers, cables, and storage enclosures. The push into AIoT hardware follows a rollout of high-end network-attached storage units earlier this summer. The firm also signed an official partnership with the NFL’s New England Patriots in April.

Pre-orders for the HomeAgent and MasterAgent hubs opened September 3. A $50 deposit locks in a 50 per cent discount before the full Kickstarter campaign launches on October 27, 2026.
