Welcome to Hungry Machines Docs
One optimizer, four ways to connect it. Add it to Home Assistant, run it on a Home Hub, hand it a Smart Satellite, or build directly on the API.
Hungry Machines optimizes when your home runs its biggest energy users — HVAC, EV charger, home battery, water heater — shifting them into the cheapest hours of your electricity plan while keeping the comfort and charge limits you set. Every route runs the same optimizer; the difference is what carries out the plan.
Home Assistant Add it to the Home Assistant you run — a HACS package, no new hardware. Shipping today.
Home Hub A pre-built appliance that runs your HVAC, water heater, EV charger and battery together, no Home Assistant needed. Beta list.
Smart Satellite A WiFi device for one window AC or mini-split — no thermostat, no hub. Beta list.
Build on the API Create your own frontend, Home Assistant integration, or device client. Public API contract with worked examples. Shipping today.
