About

Home Control is a HomeKit app that understands your home. It shows everything at a glance, explains why things happen, warns you before small problems become big ones, and helps the house run itself — on iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple TV and Apple Watch. YOUR HOME AT A GLANCE • A dashboard of what's going on now: what isn't working, lights on, low batteries, away and holiday mode, the price of electricity • Your home as a floor plan — drawn, scanned with LiDAR or imported — with every light and sensor where it really is • Lights by floor and room, with a dimmer and switch for each • Climate per room with history, outdoor weather, rain and wind from a Netatmo station, and the week ahead • Your calendar and shopping list from Reminders on the start screen INSIGHTS: WHAT CHANGED, WHY, WHAT TO DO • A daily briefing of what needs attention, and nothing when nothing does • "Why?" on every device: what last changed it and how sure that is — also through Siri • Comfort per room, damp and mould risk at cold corners, CO₂, airing out when the air outside is drier • Devices that drop out, and whether it was the device, its bridge, the router or the home hub • Follow-ups a week after you act: did it help? • In your own language, on every device ENERGY AND PRICE • Live spot prices and the cheapest hours ahead • Price-smart heating: a degree warmer when electricity is cheap and cooler when it's dear, never outside your comfort range • When to run the dishwasher and washing machine for the lowest cost • Power use by device and room, measured or estimated YOUR NETWORK (UniFi) • Who's on which network and band, signal strength, and which devices are in use • Alerts when a hub, bridge or camera drops off, and insights when the router restarts or the Wi‑Fi is crowded • Guest Wi‑Fi with a code to scan, vouchers, and controls to restart the router or block a device • Phones count as being home: location and Wi‑Fi together, so "everyone left" is never a GPS glitch THE HOUSE RUNS ITSELF • Rules that know who's home, the weather, the price and the time of day • Scenes when each person comes home, and when the last one leaves • Holiday mode that makes the house look lived in, and turns itself on when everyone is away • Warmer evening light in the dark months, and Advent lights from the first Sunday of Advent • A weekly note of what was unusual, and a morning postcard from a second home or a van HEALTH AND MAINTENANCE • Batteries forecast to empty, grouped into one round with a shopping list and a reminder • Firmware: devices running older versions than others of the same model • Thread and Matter diagnostics: border routers, devices that don't answer, why pairing fails • Leak, smoke and CO alerts that also reach your family FREE TO TRY Free to download. Home, the floor plan, your devices and the safety alerts are free. Try the rest free for 14 days, then unlock it once. One purchase, no subscription, shared with your family. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account and no tracking. Your home stays in HomeKit and your own iCloud. A Mac at home can run the rules and read the network around the clock; everything else works on its own. WORKS WITH Any HomeKit and Matter accessory, Thread, and HomePod temperature · UniFi (Ubiquiti) gateways · Thermia heat pumps · Netatmo weather station · Tibber, Octopus Energy and Nord Pool spot prices · weather from Open-Meteo, with warnings from SMHI, MET Norway and FMI. Those features need the device or account.

What's New in Home Control

1.0.5

November 12, 2026

• Your real price: add the grid fee, energy tax and markup, and every price, cost and cheapest hour is the price on your bill. Earlier deals are kept, fixed or spot. • Quarter-hour prices in today's chart, with the spikes marked. • A price widget for the Home and Lock Screen, a network widget, and a Live Activity while electricity is at its cheapest. • Wi‑Fi tune-up: what would make your Wi‑Fi better, with the evidence and the steps. • Reports: a monthly home report, energy, a home inventory, health and an internet report card, as PDFs to keep or print. • Home shows electricity and weather at a glance, and after ten days what the app found in your home. • Calmer notifications: devices that drop out together share one notification, with quiet hours if you like. • New tabs on iPhone (Home, Energy, Climate, Insights, More) and the iOS 27 colours. • HomePod charts fill in on iPhone, and a device brought in by two hubs counts once.
