What's New in Home Widget for HomeKit · HW

1.10.1

August 29, 2026

New features: • All Your Cameras at a Glance: Open the mosaic from a widget in a single tap, then zoom into any camera. • Your Heating, Within Reach: Set your home temperature straight from your widgets. • Widgets Redesigned for iOS 26: New clear, tinted and Liquid Glass rendering, with sharper interactions and better Lock Screen panels. • Your Cameras in Control Center: Add a Home Widget control that opens the mosaic, or the camera of your choice. • A Whole Room, One Gesture: Turn on, turn off, dim or color every light in a room at once. • Camera zoom works everywhere: iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch. • The mosaic can show only the cameras you choose. • The icon you pick for an accessory is remembered, suggested for your next items and synced through iCloud. • Items can now be displayed without an icon, as text only. • The line under each item is yours to choose: state, room, or nothing. • New option: Off items can take on the Home app's style. • The Transparency effect is realigned to the pixel for the new iOS 26 Home Screen grid, on iPhone and iPad. • In Dark appearance, it now darkens along with your wallpaper. • The add-panel button stays legible in clear and tinted renderings. • Counter labels are shorter and fit widgets better. • Multi-sensor Matter accessories now show all their readings: temperature, humidity, CO₂, particulates… • The app's vocabulary aligns with the Home app's. • Improved stability: several crashes and a UI freeze fixed. • And much more! Major localization update: • Added Portuguese (Brazil), Japanese, Simplified Chinese, Korean, Traditional Chinese, Swedish, Danish, Norwegian Bokmål, Finnish, Turkish and Russian. • Every existing translation has been proofread by native speakers: wording mistakes fixed and HomeKit terms aligned with the Apple Home app.

A Gem!

Brilliant app for Home widgets! I like it!

Great auxiliary options!

This app adds what apple should have. Only suggestion is to add ability to pinch to zoom on viewing video.

如果有VP,真的要试试

一直在寻找可以在Vision Pro上控制HomeKit的小组件App,AR+智能家居真的没话说!如果你有Vision Pro,并且也用Homekit,那真的得尝试一下!虽然以兼容性App运行,但一切顺利,感谢开发者,软件挺棒的,动效也挺高级,希望持续优化,比如控制灯泡颜色和亮度的交互可以再改进一下,现在每次点击都会跳转控制面板,来回切换确实容易懵,而且有时会因此增加操作交互次数。不过其他的都挺棒的,最重点是达到了我一直想要的AR+HomeKit的效果,值得五颗星!

Should be standard with HomeKit

Works well, crazy this functionality isn’t included in HomeKit. Widgets occasionally become unresponsive but for me it’s always an issue with my Z-Wave or Ikea integration and it needs a reboot for HomeKit and this widget to see it again. If HomeKit is unresponsive with a device, this widget will be as well.

Leider aktualisieren seit längerem die Widgets nicht mehr

Alles ist eingestellt wie empfohlen mit 30 min aber trotzdem aktualisiert es nicht mehr selber. Zeigt deswegen immer falsche Zustände an.

Habe jetzt mal den Support angeschrieben ob da was zurück kommt Mal sehen.

Seit 4 Monaten keine Updates ist auch ungewöhnlich, soll aber erst mal nix heißen.

Response from developer

Es tut mir leid, dass Sie so lange auf eine Antwort warten mussten. Version 1.10.0 steht kurz vor der Veröffentlichung. Apple erlaubt Drittanbieter-Widgets keine sofortige Aktualisierung nach jeder HomeKit-Änderung, aber mit der empfohlenen Standardeinstellung sollte die Aktualisierung normalerweise zuverlässig funktionieren. Ein Tippen auf einen beliebigen Sensor oder eine Aktion lädt jederzeit frische HomeKit-Daten. Falls das bei Ihnen nicht geschieht, antworten Sie bitte erneut an contact@vision-apps.com mit iOS-Version und Zubehörmodell; ich werde den konkreten Fall untersuchen.

FAQ

What does Home Widget do?

Home Widget brings HomeKit device control directly to your iPhone and iPad's Home Screen. It allows you to create customizable panels with your HomeKit accessories, scenes, groups, shortcuts, and cameras, enabling quick interaction without opening the main Home app.

How do I set up widgets for my HomeKit devices?

You create a panel within the Home Widget app, add your desired HomeKit accessories, scenes, or shortcuts to it, and then add the Home Widget to your Home Screen. You can then customize the appearance of these panels with icons, names, and colors.

Is Home Widget free to use?

The app is free to download and use, offering core functionality. However, it includes in-app purchases, which likely unlock advanced customization options or additional features. Family sharing is enabled for subscriptions and in-app purchases.

Can I control my HomeKit devices from the Lock Screen?

Yes, you can position your HomeKit widgets on the 'Today View' by swiping right from the Home Screen or Lock Screen. This provides access to your home controls directly from the locked screen, protected by Face ID or Touch ID.

What kind of HomeKit devices are supported?

The app supports a wide range of HomeKit devices, including accessories, scenes, groups, shortcuts, and cameras. You can view live camera feeds with a single tap from your widgets and receive state feedback, such as whether a light is on or off.
