SuperGateway LinknLink HomeClaw Max Launches on Kickstarter
A smart home becomes far more compelling when its devices can work together naturally, its automations are easier to create, and its everyday operation does not require constant attention. Now live on Kickstarter, the new SuperGateway HomeClaw Max from LinknLink brings that vision into focus by combining Home Assistant, OpenClaw and Hermes Agent in one compact, always-on home server, creating a central platform for connected devices, AI-assisted routines and local-first smart home control. Designed for both curious newcomers and experienced automation enthusiasts, HomeClaw Max brings several powerful tools into a single system, giving users a practical starting point for building a more capable connected home. Its appeal goes beyond controlling individual lights or switches, with a broader ambition to make advanced automation more approachable through natural-language interaction, flexible integrations and access to AI agents around the clock.
At the heart of HomeClaw Max is Home Assistant, with support for Add-ons and the Home Assistant Community Store, better known as HACS. This combination opens the door to an extensive ecosystem of integrations, community projects and additional functionality, allowing the system to grow alongside the needs of the household. For someone beginning with a handful of connected products, that offers room to expand, while more experienced users gain a foundation for bringing increasingly sophisticated routines and services together.
LinknLink advertises support for more than 1,500 smart home brands, highlighting the platform’s ambition to accommodate homes where devices come from several manufacturers. That flexibility matters because most connected homes develop gradually, with lighting purchased from one brand, sensors from another and additional accessories introduced over time. HomeClaw Max is designed to help bring those separate elements into a more coordinated environment, with individual device compatibility depending on the available integrations.
The addition of OpenClaw and Hermes Agent gives HomeClaw Max its distinctive AI focus, introducing a more conversational way to approach home automation. Instead of translating every idea into a manually configured sequence, users can describe what they want to achieve and let AI help create and manage the corresponding routines. An evening lighting schedule or a more convenient morning routine becomes a starting point for natural-language interaction, with the resulting possibilities shaped by the devices and services connected to the system.
This approach could be particularly attractive to users who appreciate the flexibility of Home Assistant but want assistance turning that flexibility into useful everyday behavior. With an always-on platform designed to support a 24/7 AI agent, HomeClaw Max positions conversational assistance as an ongoing part of the smart home experience, helping users develop and adjust their setup as their habits change.
Connectivity between ecosystems is another central part of the proposition, with Matter and Apple HomeKit bridging intended to bring compatible devices into a wider range of smart home environments. For households already invested in a preferred platform, that creates an opportunity to connect more of their existing equipment while retaining familiar ways of interacting with it. The value lies in making different parts of the home work together more conveniently, particularly where a growing collection of devices would otherwise feel fragmented.
HomeClaw Max also emphasizes local-first operation, keeping smart home control centered on a server inside the home while retaining the option to use cloud AI services when needed. This gives users a useful distinction between locally managed automation and features that depend on external services, allowing them to build around local capabilities while choosing where connected AI adds value.
For access beyond the home network, LinknLink includes free Home Assistant remote access, promising a more approachable way to reach and manage the system without complicated network configuration. Alongside this, the company promotes low-cost AI plans, and every new LinknLink user receives one month of AI subscription access free, providing an opportunity to explore the AI features before choosing a longer-term subscription.
The hardware brings these capabilities together in a compact aluminum alloy enclosure, giving HomeClaw Max a premium appearance suited to an always-on device that may remain visible on a desk or shelf. An advertised configuration combines 4 GB of memory, 256 GB of storage and Gigabit Ethernet, pairing space for the system and its services with wired network connectivity. HomeClaw Max is also designed to double as a personal NAS, extending its role beyond automation into network-accessible storage, with suitability depending on the intended storage workload.
By bringing Home Assistant, AI agents, ecosystem bridging, remote access and personal storage into one device, SuperGateway HomeClaw Max presents an appealing proposition for anyone looking to build a more unified connected home. Its strongest promise is the combination of an expandable automation platform and a more accessible, conversational way to use it, giving both first-time users and established enthusiasts a reason to explore what an AI-assisted home server can offer.
