Summary
Muse has open-sourced device SDKs and firmware for connecting its service to maker-built ESP32 and Linux gadgets. A separate Muse Home Link offer is available to eligible subscribers in the United States.
Muse has open-sourced device SDKs and firmware that let makers connect its service to custom-built gadgets. The project supports off-the-shelf ESP32 boards and Linux devices such as a Raspberry Pi, with examples ranging from small screens and buttons to sensors and actuators.
The approach gives developers a way to put Muse behind physical controls and displays, rather than limiting interaction to a conventional screen. The code is intended for people to adapt and extend: Muse invites builders to share projects and contribute improvements.
Two routes for building a gadget
The ESP32 Device SDK connects an ESP32 board to Muse. The project page suggests adding a screen for images, audio input and output, or other sensors. ESP32 is a family of low-cost microcontroller boards commonly used in connected-device projects; the SDK provides the software link between a supported board and Muse.
The Linux Device SDK is aimed at a Raspberry Pi or another Linux computer. Developers can add their own commands, with examples including system-administration tasks and Home Assistant setups. This route uses a more general-purpose computer, while the ESP32 option is aimed at small embedded devices.
The SDKs and firmware are open source under the Apache 2.0 licence and are provided as-is, without warranty. The page also points builders to a Discord community and asks people submitting projects to share a photo or video and a GitHub repository with a README.
A separate option for home-device connections
Muse Home Link is a hardware offering described as a way to connect Muse to a home Wi-Fi network. It can then reach compatible devices or devices built with a local HTTP API—a software interface that lets another program send requests to a service on a network. The page gives examples of community-built skills controlling lights or a TV and sending a document to a printer, depending on the setup.
The Home Link offer is free to active Muse subscribers in the United States, with a limit of one per subscriber. The page lists shipping in October but does not specify a year. Claiming a place is not an order; it reserves a place in line, and the page says subscribers will be notified when the device is available to ship.
The project page also lists third-party devices that builders can use as starting points, including displays, buttons, speakers and microphones. Those devices are made and sold by other companies; Meta says it does not endorse or warrant them.
