Today, we’re announcing the start of Nabu Casa’s first refurb program 🎉! We’re starting in the US market with our partner AmeriDroid to sell refurbished Home Assistant Green systems, but we intend to expand to more regions and products… just give us some time as we’re working to do this right… more on that below. The sustainability of the smart home is a big part of our mission, and reducing e-waste by finding new homes for working devices is a good step in the right direction.
We don’t actually get that many returns… a side effect of making awesome, reliable, and fun products. So, you might need to act fast when the refurbished Greens are restocked. We’ll keep you posted on our next plans for the refurbishment program.
How it works
Sometimes people end up returning products because they just weren’t the right fit. These returned products are effectively as good as new, with maybe some very minor signs of use. That’s where our partner AmeriDroid will step in; they will check that returns have all the accessories, ensure all personal data is wiped, and that there aren’t any issues with the device. There are a lot of logistics and processes involved behind the scenes, so it's no small feat, but avoiding e-waste is always worth the effort.
AmeriDroid will be selling these refurbished Home Assistant Green’s for $20 off the normal retail price, which is a great deal for a device that can help you build the most powerful, private, and compatible smart home 🚀.
Thanks for the support
Many of us at Nabu Casa got into Home Assistant because we wanted to make the tech in our homes last longer, so we’re pretty excited to have set up this program. Thanks again for all your support, as everything you purchase supports the development of Home Assistant 🙏.
