Yes, the day has finally arrived: the Open Home Foundation merch store is up and running! 🥳 While some of you have tracked it down already (and are wearing the T-shirts to prove it!), we wanted to share it officially with the whole community so no one misses the chance to get involved.

Show your support

In case you didn’t know, there are already several ways to support our fight for the principles of privacy, choice, and sustainability for smart homes: you can subscribe to Home Assistant Cloud, buy official hardware from our commercial partners, or contribute to an open source project.

The merch store adds another choice to the mix that’s fun and easy to access. Whether you’ve been with us from the beginning, or have only recently discovered our mission and like what we stand for, the merch store is open to everyone!

Taking care of quality

We have offered merch before through on-demand services, but those platforms didn’t give us the control we wanted. Now we have our own store, we can select every item ourselves, check the quality (we’ve particularly enjoyed getting cozy in the hoodies this winter), and work with ethical manufacturers who share our commitment to sustainability.

And here’s the important part: after covering costs like production and fulfillment, your purchase contributes directly to our mission. You can see the breakdown of where your money goes on every product page.

What’s in store?

We’re starting with the essentials: hoodies, tees, polos, and accessories in a range of classic styles, colors, and designs – with exciting plans to expand both our products and categories over time. But for now there should be something for everyone: from understated logos to bold patterns that declare your advocacy loud and clear. One of our favorites is the “Open Homes” tee, where our in-house designer has captured our community’s strength – one foundation, many homes.

Over to you!

We’ve put a lot of thought and care into creating this first collection, and we can’t wait for you to check it out! You can browse our European or North American store depending on where you’re based: both have the full selection of swag, with local shipping for speed and convenience (and a lower carbon impact).

And remember… this is just the beginning. We already have lots of ideas for what’s next. But we want to hear from you too: what designs would you wear? What products or materials are you missing? Let us know and help us build a store the community really loves – in the open, of course.
