Sumika is a self-hosted comprehensive smart home management platform developed by Beyond Cloud.

It is an alternative to Home Assistant with a different philosophy. Where HA focuses on maximum flexibility and customization, and supporting absolutely every device under the sun, Sumika aims to provide a more curated and user-friendly experience out of the box. It makes some assumptions, and tries to cover the most likely scenarios for users. It means that while HA expects you to spend X amount of time configuring it to your current smart home setup, with Sumika, you can get started quickly with minimal setup, but on the other hand you might have to invest into hardware that Sumika actually supports.

As of now Sumika strictly only supports Zigbee devices, thanks to integrating into the awesome Zigbee2MQTT project. You can check their site for the list of supported devices, it is quite large.

Sumika will add support for additional protocols beside Zigbee in the future. Such as Wifi or Bluetooth devices and so on. One important philosophy decision is to only support devices that can work 100% locally offline. Unlike HA, Sumika's direction is to not rely on cloud services for any device. This will make it easier for users to plan their setup with confidence, as opposed to seeing an integration and realising later that it requires a cloud account even in a self-hosted HA. This is for maximum security and privacy, but also to ensure that an integration / hardware is not made obselete by a disappearing cloud service.

Sumika transforms your smart home devices into an integrated, easy-to-use automation platform. It manages your smart lights, switches, sensors, and other IoT devices, providing:

• Device Management: Discover, control, and organize all your devices
• Dashboard: Automatic dashboard populated with your rooms and devices for a smooth experience
• Voice Control: Natural language voice commands to control devices (fully local, with no setup needed)
• Automation Engine: Create IFTTT-style automations and scene triggers
• Scene Management: Lighting scenes for different moods and activities
• Cross-Platform: Works on web browsers, Android, iOS, Windows, macOS, and Linux with native apps

• Docker
• Zigbee coordinator device (USB dongle)
• Compatible Zigbee smart home devices

[TODO]

1. Configure Zigbee2MQTT: Use the Zigbee2MQTT web interface to pair your devices
2. Open Sumika: Navigate to the Sumika web interface or mobile app
3. Create Zones: Organize your devices into rooms or functional areas
4. Set Up Automations: Create rules for device interactions
5. Configure Scenes: Set up lighting scenes for different activities

You can use an external MQTT broker, but it is not required as Sumika has its own embeded MQTT.

• EXTERNAL_MQTT_BROKER: Use external MQTT broker (optional)
• EXTERNAL_MQTT_USERNAME: MQTT broker username (if required)
• EXTERNAL_MQTT_PASSWORD: MQTT broker password (if required)

• Advanced automation conditions
• Multiple actions per automation
• Dashboard optimization improvements

• Camera support integration
• User management and roles
• Bluetooth device support
• Enhanced Android/iOS mobile features
• Screen-based lighting controls
• HA integration

Sumika is open source and welcomes contributions! Areas where help is needed:

• Device Support: Testing with different Zigbee devices
• UI/UX Improvements: Enhanced user interface designs
• Platform Support: Additional platform integrations
• Documentation: Improved setup guides and tutorials
• Bug Fixes: Issue resolution and stability improvements
