CloudFree Home offers a line of smart home devices (e.g., lights, thermostats, security cameras) that operate entirely on a local network, without requiring a connection to external cloud servers. This addresses user concerns about data privacy, security vulnerabilities, and reliance on third-party services, as highlighted by the “Freeing a Xiaomi humidifier from the cloud” and “Apple has locked my Apple ID, and I have no recourse” news items. Users can control their devices through a dedicated app or a web interface hosted on their local network, ensuring full control and privacy over their data.
