For Home Assistant

Your home, with memory.

Nives is an AI assistant that remembers your preferences, devices, and routines — so every conversation picks up where the last one left off.

Get started See how it works

An assistant that actually knows your home

Most smart home assistants treat every conversation as brand new. Nives doesn't.

Persistent memory

Tell it once that you prefer warm lighting in the evenings. It remembers. Preferences, baselines, and context persist across every conversation.

Voice and text via HA Assist

Works with any Home Assistant Assist pipeline. Speak naturally or type — control devices, ask questions, or have a real conversation about your home.

Runs locally on your HA

The add-on installs directly in Home Assistant. Memory, conversation history, and HA tools run on your device — only AI inference goes to the cloud.

No account juggling

Buy a ticket here, paste the key we give you into the add-on, done. No OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google accounts required.

See it in action

Not mockups — real conversations with a live install, straight from Home Assistant Assist.

Four Assist screenshots: Nives is told a test word, recalls it in a brand-new conversation, asks for confirmation before forgetting it, and then recalls the replacement.
Memory that outlives the conversation. Tell it once, close the chat, ask again whenever — and changing your mind is a conversation, not a settings page.
Assist conversation where Nives previews an automation and waits for a yes, followed by the Home Assistant automations list showing the automation it created.
Automations in plain words. It shows you what it's about to build, waits for your yes — and the result is a real Home Assistant automation in your list.
Assist screenshot: asked what it remembers, Nives lists the user's temperature, lighting, and routine preferences.
Ask what it knows about you — typos and all — and it answers from the preferences and routines it's picked up along the way.

More of the everyday things you can say once Nives knows your home:

You Is the bedroom comfortable?
Nives It's 21° in there — a bit warmer than the 19° you like at night. Want me to cool it down?
You Turn the porch light on at sunset every day.
Nives I'll set that up as an automation — shall I create it?
You Why is the office so cold?
Nives It's 17° right now. The window's been open about 40 minutes — that's most likely why.
You Dim the lounge for movie night.
Nives Done — warm and low, the way you like it for films.

Examples for illustration. Nives's replies draw on your own preferences, devices, and routines — the more you tell it, the more it remembers.

Set it up in minutes

Four steps from zero to a home that remembers you.

Install the Nives add-on in Home Assistant

One click adds the repository to your Home Assistant:

Open your Home Assistant instance and show the add add-on repository dialog with the Nives repository pre-filled.

Or manually: Settings → Add-ons → Add-on Store, menu (⋮) → Repositories, add https://github.com/hoornet/nives. Then find and install the Nives add-on.

Buy a ticket below and copy your key

Enter your email, pick a ticket, pay. You'll land on your dashboard where your API key is waiting.

Paste your key into the add-on's Cloud section

Open the Nives add-on, switch to Cloud mode in the Configuration tab, paste your key, and hit Save.

Restart once, then talk to your home

Home Assistant needs one restart to finish the install — Nives asks for it with a notification (and, after updates, a one-click repair under Settings → Repairs). Then pick Nives under Settings → Voice assistants, open Assist, and start a conversation.

Want to try it before buying a ticket? Nives also runs in BYOK mode — bring your own provider key and use everything, free from us, for as long as you like. Cloud is the zero-setup path we test most, and it's ready whenever you are.

Simple, honest pricing

No subscription, no monthly bill. Buy a ticket, use it until it's gone, top up when it suits you — Nives warns you a few days before it runs out. No tiers to compare, no model names to research: we pick the best available model and keep it current for you.

Buy a ticket

A ticket simply lasts until it's used up — there's nothing to cancel and no charge you have to remember. Nives tells you when it's running low, and tops up automatically only if you've asked it to. Prefer bigger and rarer? €25 and custom-size tickets work the same and last longer.
