Meta Open Sources Code for DIY Muse AI Gadgets and Gives Away Free Home Link Devices
Meta’s SDKs let developers run Muse on ESP32 boards and Raspberry Pi devices, connecting displays, sensors, buttons, and actuators for DIY projects such as E Ink reminders. It also manufactured 5,000 Muse Home Link units, with shipping expected in October 2026.
Meta has open sourced code that allows users to build their own gadgets powered by Muse, the company’s AI agent, and announced a giveaway of 5,000 Muse Home Link devices, in October 2026.
The release lets hobbyists and developers program off-the-shelf hardware — including ESP32 boards and Raspberry Pi devices — using Meta’s SDKs, then connect Muse to displays, buttons, sensors, actuators, and other components. Meta suggests example projects such as loading Muse onto a color E Ink display to show reminders, connecting it to an HDMI stick for big-screen use, or building a small touchscreen device resembling a DIY Muse Charm. The company describes these as “open source devices you build yourself,” though it cautions users to “Proceed at your own risk.”
Alongside the open source release, Meta is distributing a ready-made gadget called the Muse Home Link. The device uses community-built skills to let the AI agent control smart home functions — turning on lights, controlling a TV, sending documents to a printer, and more. Meta Superintelligence Labs’ Nat Friedman confirmed that 5,000 units were manufactured. Interested users can join a waitlist now, with shipping expected sometime in October 2026.
The open source release may lower the barrier for developers and enthusiasts to experiment with Muse outside of Meta’s own hardware ecosystem. By providing SDKs compatible with widely available components, Meta is enabling a broader range of use cases than its own product line covers, though the practical scope will depend on what the community builds with the tools.
