Updates without surprises

Leave whenever you like
The hardware, the owner account and the data are yours. You get your configuration, and we remove our access within 7 days.
Questions
Worth knowing.
Whose name is the hardware in?
Yours. You buy directly from the shops, from our list, with your own tax number. The warranty stays with you, and we check the order before it ships.
Can I switch remote access off?
Yes, at any time. A switch in your Home Assistant cuts off our access, and the owner account is yours. Each time we log in, you get a notification in the app.
What isn’t covered?
The system is for convenience and doesn’t replace detectors or certified systems.
- In-wall or electrical-panel work, which is done and billed by a partner electrician.
- Locks, gas and smoke: the system can send a notification, but we take no responsibility for these functions.
- Cameras.
- Urgent help: we answer on weekday evenings and Saturday mornings, with no emergency service.
Are there any other costs?
The hardware, which you buy. The partner electrician, if your home needs one. And if you want to use the app away from home, Home Assistant’s own access service, which you pay for directly in your name.
What if I leave the plan?
Your home keeps working. You keep everything that’s yours, and only our maintenance stops.
Is Lareo part of Home Assistant?
No. Home Assistant is an open-source software project. Lareo is independent and has no connection with the project.
Tell us about your home.
One message is enough to start. We reply within 2 business days, in English or Portuguese. If you’d rather talk first, we’ll book 20 minutes by video, free of charge.
The questionnaire takes about 10 minutes.
