Meta opens Muse to home-built gadgets
Muse Gadgets gives developers open-source firmware and a Linux SDK to put Meta’s agent on their own hardware, with 5,000 free Home Link dongles.
Meta released Muse Gadgets on Friday 2 October 2026, open-source firmware for ESP32 microchips and a Linux SDK that let developers connect its Muse agent to hardware they build themselves, Engadget reports. Nat Friedman, head of product at Meta’s superintelligence labs, announced it.
Meta suggests E Ink displays, HDMI dongles for televisions and touchscreen accessories as starting points. It also built its own device, Muse Home Link, a USB-C dongle that lets Muse talk to smart home devices such as TVs and speakers. The first 5,000 go free to Muse subscribers and ship in a few weeks, TechCrunch reports. A Discord server supports builders.
On 30 September we covered Muse for Small Business, which links the agent to ad accounts and apps such as Shopify. Muse Gadgets follows Mark Zuckerberg’s reveal of the Muse Charm, a small wearable for the agent.
For brands, the agent their customers talk to is moving off the phone and onto home screens, speakers and hardware that developers build.
