Selora Homes is founded
Philippe Lafoucrière founds Selora Homes, backed by Open Core Ventures (OCV). The company is born from a simple observation: Home Assistant is incredibly powerful, but its DIY nature creates an unsustainable support burden for professional installers trying to build a business around it.
Building the platform
The team begins developing the Selora Homes platform, an enterprise-grade layer on top of Home Assistant that brings reliability, remote management, and professional support infrastructure to smart home installations. An AI-first approach is adopted from day one, embedding artificial intelligence into every stage of the smart home project lifecycle.
Today
Growing with installers
Selora Homes continues to expand its platform and partner network, working closely with professional installers and integrators to turn Home Assistant into a solution they can confidently offer their clients.
