Recently, Dusun IoT has completed a functional upgrade for its DSGW-290 Smart Gateway — officially achieving deep integration with the Home Assistant open-source smart home platform and the Frigate NVR intelligent video recording system. This upgrade transforms the DSGW-290 from a “single-function smart gateway” into a “localized intelligent hub”. It addresses the core pain points of “difficult collaboration among multiple devices, high reliance on the cloud, and privacy risks”, providing an integrated hardware solution for smart home control and local NVR for home and small business scenarios.
Detailed Highlights: Home Assistant + Frigate NVR, 1+1>2 an Intelligent Experience
Highlight 1: Deep Integration with Home Assistant for Full Control of Whole-Home Smart Devices
● The upgraded DSGW-290 comes with a hardware-optimized Home Assistant (pre-adapted to the gateway’s hardware, no extra setup required)
● Supports Bluetooth 5.2, Zigbee 3.0, Z-Wave, and Sub-G, enabling seamless access to and unified management of various smart home devices
● Visually configure automated scenarios via the Home Assistant control panel
● After integrating Frigate NVR, real-time monitoring can be viewed and security scenarios can be customized directly through Home Assistant
Highlight 2: DSGW-290 with Friate NVR+Local AI
● Local AI Object Detection：Powered by the RK3568 main chip and a dedicated 1 TOPS NPU, it enables precise detection of people, pets, and specific targets—with 100% local AI processing. there’s zero cloud upload, eliminating risks of third-party data access, breaches, or misuse during transmission. You retain full ownership of your data, while real-time alerts (free from cloud lag) ensure security without sacrificing privacy. Ideal for users prioritizing data sovereignty and compliance with strict privacy regulations.
● Expandable Local Storage：To ensure the device has sufficient storage space for local video retention—eliminating concerns about data leakage risks associated with cloud hosting. The DSGW-290 comes standard with 64GB eMMC storage. Additionally, it supports flexible storage expansion via an M.2 solid-state drive (up to 1TB) or a TF card (up to 1TB).
The functional upgrade of the DSGW-290 Smart Gateway, featuring deep integration with Home Assistant and Frigate NVR, makes it more convenient for users to conduct secondary development of the product.
By addressing long-standing pain points such as fragmented device collaboration, high cloud reliance, and privacy vulnerabilities, the DSGW-290 delivers a holistic solution that integrates smart home control and local video security into one. On one hand, its optimized Home Assistant integration enables seamless management of multi-protocol devices and customizable automation configurations. On the other hand, the local AI object detection (powered by the RK3568 chip and a 1 TOPS NPU) and expandable local storage equipped with Frigate NVR ensure zero cloud-related data risks, while providing real-time alerts and full data ownership.
For home users and small businesses seeking a secure, efficient, and user-friendly intelligent security system, the upgraded DSGW-290 stands out as a comprehensive and future-compatible ideal choice, truly unlocking the “1+1>2” synergy between smart home and local security technologies.
