A weekend lost in YAML.
Most platforms ask you to configure each device by hand, in a config file you'll never want to touch again.
An ambient AI that learns the rhythms of your household and quietly takes care of the rest — lights, sound, climate, security, energy.
Three reasons most people give up after the first weekend.
Most platforms ask you to configure each device by hand, in a config file you'll never want to touch again.
If automating your kitchen requires a Reddit thread and a soldering iron, it isn't really for the family.
Schedules need updating. Scenes need re-tuning. The smarter the home gets, the more you maintain it.
From unboxed Pi to a household that takes care of itself.
Onto a Raspberry Pi 4 or 5, or any compatible mini PC. Cloud hosting coming soon.
Mirlai finds the devices already on your network — 3000+ brands work out of the box: Philips Hue, IKEA, Sonos, Matter, Zigbee, Z-Wave.
Mirlai watches what you actually do, then proposes routines. You approve, it acts. Nothing leaves your home.
Turn up the heat every morning at 7:10 for a week, and mirlai offers to do it for you. Every suggestion is yours to approve — you stay in control.
3000+ device integrations. Zigbee, Z-Wave, Matter, Wi-Fi. If it's in your house, mirlai probably knows how to talk to it.
One app, designed for anyone in the house. No admin panel, no YAML, no Reddit threads required.
One greeting. One status. A handful of scenes. Tap one and the house follows — lights, sound, climate, the lot.
The interface gets quieter the longer you use it — mirlai stops asking once it knows.


Mirlai scans your network for what's already there — lights, speakers, thermostats, locks. It learns which room each one belongs in, on its own.
No walking through with a phone. No naming things one by one. The map fills itself in.
Mirlai is a piece of software. Bring your own hardware — small, quiet, sips power.
Under $80. Fanless, sips 5W. Mirlai runs comfortably on a Pi 4 with 4GB RAM — plenty for a household with dozens of devices.
Any modern Intel or AMD mini PC works. Worth the upgrade if your house already has 50+ devices, or if you want headroom for cloud-assisted suggestions.
No. Mirlai is designed for any adult in the house, not for sysadmins. The whole point is that it removes the steps that used to require code.
Over 3000 brands across Zigbee, Z-Wave, Matter, and Wi-Fi. If it's a major brand of light, lock, thermostat, sensor or speaker, it probably works.
Closed beta in Q3 2026. Public release in Q4 2026. Sign up for the waitlist below and we'll reach out when it's your turn.
No. Everything mirlai learns lives on your device. Cloud-assisted suggestions are opt-in and never include your raw activity.
Your routines and device map are backed up. Flash mirlai OS on a new device, restore the backup, and you're back in minutes.
A polished web app for now — it works beautifully on phones. Native apps coming soon.
