What is Apollo Automation?

Apollo Automation builds high-quality, affordable, open-source home automation hardware - designed and assembled in Lexington, KY. What started as a side project among friends (named after Trevor's dog, Apollo) grew into a full-fledged business driven by community feedback. We build everything in-house, keep our designs transparent, and host a monthly livestream on Discord and YouTube so you can connect with us directly.

What do we offer?

Sensors and devices that solve real problems in home automation - presence detection, air quality monitoring, plant care, and more. Every product ships with ESPHome firmware, full Home Assistant integration, and support from a team that actually uses what we build.
