Meta has released Muse Gadgets and open-sourced the ESP32 firmware and Linux SDK used to connect to Muse, giving developers a way to build their own hardware without waiting for an official device. The code is available under the Apache 2.0 license, and the supported hardware path includes off-the-shelf ESP32 development boards, Raspberry Pi units, and other Linux devices. Meta said developers can attach components such as screens, microphones, speakers, buttons, and sensors to create custom Muse endpoints. The company also introduced Muse Home Link, a small USB-C device that connects Muse to a home local area network. Through community-built skills, it can control devices including lights, TVs, speakers, and printers. Existing integrations include Philips Hue, Sonos, Apple TV, Google Nest, and Samsung TV. Meta said it produced an initial batch of 5,000 units, which will be available free to Muse subscribers in the United States, with shipping set to begin in October. Meta had previously unveiled its own Muse Charm hardware, but that product has not officially launched.
