Description

I made an app for my Apple Watch to see a glanceable status of our home and to control our HomeKit devices. It worked so well on the watch, that I expanded it to a dashboard app for all our Apple devices. I have now added a configuration interface to make it compatible with any HomeKit enabled home setup. I hope some of you will find it useful.
HOME VIEW
The circle / grid with icons on the home view shows a color coded status of the rooms of the home: red when a door is open, yellow when a window is open, orange when the heating is on, cyan when lights are on and green when nothing is on.
On the iPhone, iPad, tvOS and Mac the app also shows the time, date, cameras, events, reminders, a website and weather information. When there is rain, it will show a rain graph.
ROOM VIEWS
When a room is selected, the circle layout will show the scenes you can control in that room. The grid layout also shows the devices that can be controlled in that room. Additionally the room view has an information section. To the right it can show any characteristics from your devices. Below is a detail view that can show a camera view, a website, a temperature, humidity and climate history graphs.
WIDGETS
Fully customisable lock-screen and home-screen widgets. Tap / Clicking a widget item to go directly to a room view, execute a scene or launch any url-scheme. Customisable complications on the Watch can have actions to go directly to a room view and execute any scene.
MENU BAR ITEMS
On the Mac any HomeKit characteristic can be added to the menu bar and is kept up to date.
CUSTOMISATION
The interface can be fully customised. The user can add their own background images and icons from the photo library. Customise gradient overlays, icons, fonts, colours and more. Make it your own…

Klein und fein

Genau was ich gesucht habe. Läuft auf der gesamten Apple Infrastruktur. Simpel ohne Quatsch. Perfekt zur Steuerung der Lichter und Ablesung von Sensoren. Geht super auf AppleTV (die einzige sogar soweit ich sehe). Kann nicht alles aber muss die auch nicht. Für die Features kostenlos. Das ist fair. Super Job, Peter. Danke !!

Leider nicht in Germany

Erkennung ob ich zu Hause bin geht nicht mehr

Nach der Installation wurde nicht mehr erkannt, ob ich zu Hause bin und die Automatisierungen der Home App nicht mehr aktiviert. Nach Deinstallation der Home Watch App ging alles wieder.

Awesome

The longer I look at the app, the more I look for the hook. The range of functions and the configuration options are overwhelming. What is offered here for free is simply unbelievable. A big thank you to the developer(s)!
