The Datalake for the Home
Pond is a self-hosted data platform that unifies your smart home, IoT devices, and personal sensors into a single, queryable data lake. SQL queries, streaming, ML pipelines — all from your garage.
# Connect your home in 30 seconds $ pond init --path ~/.pond # Stream everything to your local datalake $ pond connect --source homeassistant \ --source nest \ --source ecobee \ --source mqtt://localhost:1883 # Query like it's 2025 $ pond sql "SELECT avg(temperature) FROM sensors WHERE room='living' AND time > now() - interval '1 day'" ✓ 72.4°F average living room temp # Export to your favorite stack $ pond export --to parquet --daily \ --destination s3://my-home-datalake/
Why Engineers Choose Pond
Built for the home automation enthusiast who wants production-grade data infrastructure on a Raspberry Pi.
Event Streaming
Real-time event pipeline with exactly-once semantics. Every sensor reading, state change, and automation trigger captured the millisecond it happens.
SQL on Everything
Query across all your home data with ANSI SQL. Join temperature sensors with energy usage, correlate motion with smart plug power draws.
Embedded ML Pipelines
Run inference models right at the edge. Detect anomalies, predict occupancy, optimize HVAC — all offline with local LLMs.
Universal Protocol Support
Native integration with MQTT, Zigbee2MQTT, Z-Wave, Home Assistant, HomeKit, Matter, ESPHome, and 200+ more via plugin system.
Grafana-Ready
Built-in Prometheus metrics, Grafana dashboards, and TimescaleDB compatibility. Visualize your home's DNA in real-time.
Local-First, Always
Your data never leaves your network. E2E encryption, zero cloud dependencies, and full audit logs. GDPR compliance? Done.
