HomeClaw Max has reached its Kickstarter funding goal in two weeks after launch. We are grateful to every backer and member of the smart home community who supported our vision for a more open, intelligent, and flexible smart home future.
A Kickstarter Milestone Built With the Smart Home Community
HomeClaw Max launched on Kickstarter on September 18, 2026. Two weeks later, on October 2, 2026, the campaign reached its funding goal. HomeClaw Max reached its Kickstarter funding goal two weeks after launch.
This milestone reflects the support of early backers, smart home builders, Home Assistant users, and community members who are interested in a more open approach to connected-home technology. Their support gives the project a stronger foundation as LinknLink continues to develop the product direction and listen to the people building real smart homes.
Reaching the goal is an important campaign milestone. It does not change the need for careful product development, testing, and communication, but it does show meaningful early interest in the idea of a more capable AI smart home gateway.
Building a More Open AI Smart Home Future
HomeClaw Max is designed to support a local-first AI direction for smart home workflows. The concept brings together Home Assistant, AI-assisted interaction, and an open smart home ecosystem so users can think about their home in terms of workflows rather than isolated commands.
Home Assistant can provide an automation foundation, device integrations, dashboards, and editable routines. Local AI can help make interaction more natural and can support tasks such as understanding intent, organizing context, or helping a user review an automation idea. The goal is to support people as they build and manage their homes, not to promise that one gateway replaces every platform, protocol, or integration.
That distinction matters. A more helpful smart home still depends on compatible devices, supported integrations, reliable configuration, and responsible user approval. HomeClaw Max is designed to support this broader direction while keeping the open ecosystem and the smart home community at the center.
The Campaign Continues
Reaching the funding goal is a meaningful step, and the Kickstarter campaign remains the place to follow the project as the campaign develops. Community members can learn more about the HomeClaw Max direction, review the campaign information, and decide whether it fits their own smart home plans.
The campaign is still live on Kickstarter, and we welcome more smart home enthusiasts to join the community, explore HomeClaw Max, and secure available early supporter rewards.
