Once a year, the Open Home Foundation community comes together in cities all over the world to meet, share, and connect. Mark your calendar!
What is Community Day?
Community Day is a worldwide event for people who use Open Home Foundation projects. It’s your chance to get together with fellow fans in your area, swap hardware, show off your automations, run quizzes or presentations, and generally connect with others who share your enthusiasm. There’s no fixed format – you can shape your event however you (and your guests) like!
But what makes Community Day really special is that on this one day, your local gathering is part of something much bigger: you’re joining communities all over the world in a global celebration of privacy, choice, and sustainability in the smart home.

What’s new in 2026?
When it comes to Community Day, bigger is better! So we’re leveling up both the event and the hosting experience with some exciting changes:
Open door
Last year’s Community Day was Home Assistant-specific. This year, we’re inviting communities from all of the foundation’s major projects – now, if you want to host an ESPHome or Music Assistant meetup, you can!
More support
We’re rolling out a dedicated Community Meetups Playbook with clearer reimbursement guidelines, and a proper merchandise request form, to make running your event feel super smooth.
A new look
We’ve refreshed the event’s palette to represent the whole foundation, with the colors we use for one of our three core principles: sustainability – because it’s our community who sustains us 💚
We hope these improvements will encourage even more community members to get involved this year!
