TaiwanSynology is a Taiwanese company founded in 2000 that specializes in network attached storage, backup appliances and surveillance recorders. Its DiskStation Manager (DSM) operating system is the most established in the category, covering Btrfs snapshots, cloud sync, and a Surveillance Station package that turns a NAS into a local network video recorder for IP cameras. Models with Intel or AMD processors run Container Manager, which is the usual way people self-host Home Assistant and similar services at home.

YoLink uses its own long-range LoRa wireless technology to connect smart home sensors and devices across large properties where Wi-Fi and Zigbee struggle. Its catalog includes leak sensors, door sensors, sirens, valve controllers and smart plugs, managed through the YoLink app and hub. YoLink is popular for whole-property monitoring thanks to its long wireless range.
