## What is HomeMapper?

Your entire smart home network. One view.

HomeMapper builds a unified inventory of every device on your network, scanning HomeKit, Home Assistant, Thread, Matter, and IP at once and correlating them by hardware identifiers.

DISCOVER

Every method runs at once:

• Apple's ecosystem. HomeKit via Apple's framework, plus Thread accessories, Border Routers, and Matter.
• The network itself. Bonjour, subnet scans, and protocols like SSDP/UPnP. Printers, NAS boxes, and other local-only devices show up too.
• Home Assistant. Direct read of your device registry: Matter, Thread, Zigbee, Z-Wave, ESPHome, and MQTT.

When a device appears through several methods, HomeMapper merges it by seven hardware identifiers, not names. Anything uncertain stays as duplicates, never a guess.

YOUR DEVICES, EVERY DETAIL

See devices Apple's Home app can't, and the details it tucks away: manufacturer, model, firmware, serial number, battery, IP and MAC address, and how each device connects, in columns like Connected via, Signal, Channel, and Stability. On iPad and Mac, devices appear as a sortable table; on iPhone, as detail cards. A room-based view groups them by room.

TOPOLOGY MAP

The Topology map draws your smart home the way it is wired: your Thread mesh, from the border routers down to the end devices they carry, and each HomeKit bridge with the accessories behind it. It draws only connections it can measure.

Filter to the whole picture, just the Thread mesh, or just your bridges. Tap a device for its full detail, or tap a connection to see its signal strength and how stable it has been. A red triangle marks a connection that is not working: weak, dropping traffic, or gone quiet. When a device will not report how it connects, HomeMapper says so rather than inferring a connection.

A Health view lists what needs attention on your mesh, worst first: what is wrong, which devices, and one thing to try. Most homes read "Everything looks healthy."

Export the map as a PNG, PDF, or SVG, titled with the home and dated.

It also reads each Thread device's mesh role, and each Border Router's Extended PAN ID and Thread version, hidden in the Home app.

HOME ASSISTANT

HomeMapper scans your Home Assistant instance as deeply as HomeKit. Zigbee, Z-Wave, ESPHome, MQTT: devices HomeKit can't see appear alongside the ones it can. Pick a Primary Platform, and its room names win when a device is known to both.

SETUP CODE VAULT

Every HomeKit, Matter, and Z-Wave device has a setup code on a sticker that fades or gets lost. You need it to pair the device, and again if you reset or move it. No scan can recover one: setup codes never travel over the network.

Save each code while you still have it: scan the QR with the camera, pull it from a photo, or type it in. It reads printed 8-digit codes too, for older accessories without a QR. A room-by-room list shows which devices are still missing one. Have a lot? Export a CSV worksheet, fill it in on a computer, and import it back.

Your codes stay yours: on your device, in your backups, and synced through your own iCloud.

EXPORT AND BACK UP

Export your inventory to CSV, filtered how you want, for Numbers, Excel, or Sheets. Back up your inventory, settings, and setup codes to iCloud Drive or a local folder, and restore on another device.

PRIVACY

You are not the product. Zero ads, zero tracking. Nothing leaves your device unless you send it. No account, and the only login is your own Home Assistant.

FREE AND PRO

HomeKit scanning, the device list, the room-based view, and switching between Apple Homes are free forever, with no scan or time limits.

Pro unlocks multi-protocol scanning, all 20+ columns, the combined "All Homes" view, Home Assistant, the Topology map, the setup code vault, backup and restore, and CSV export. Subscribe yearly with a 7-day free trial, or buy Lifetime once and it never expires.

Runs on iPhone, iPad, and Mac.

### 5/5 — Promising potential

*2026-08-11*

Love the features and visual graph representation. Very helpful in my initial stages of setting up a new network and understanding how devices connect. One small nit is that in my home I have two border routers. One I’m actually using with HomeKit. The other is simply there because my roommates google nest max tablet has it (even though no accessories are actually using it). Would be nice to illustrate the border router actually attributed to the accessories versus the what I will call orphan border router which is not actually part of my network persay (or at least be able to manually exclude it).  Nevertheless, still love the app and it beats the little custom CLI I created to analyze my thread network.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback. In v26.4.0, coming soon, each thread network gets its own box on the map. The border router on another thread mesh that nothing uses will be separated. No manual hide yet. If that doesn't sort it, mail support@homemapper.app. There will also be a new thread health tab.

## Frequently asked questions about HomeMapper

### What devices does HomeMapper discover?

HomeMapper discovers devices across Apple's ecosystem (HomeKit, Thread, Matter), the network itself (Bonjour, subnet scans, SSDP/UPnP), and Home Assistant (including Zigbee, Z-Wave, ESPHome, and MQTT devices).

### How does HomeMapper correlate devices?

It merges records from multiple discovery methods using seven hardware identifiers, ensuring accurate correlation without relying on fuzzy name matching. If confident merging isn't possible, it flags them as duplicates.

### What kind of details does HomeMapper show for devices?

It displays manufacturer, model, firmware version, serial number, battery level, Matter and Thread info, IP address, MAC address, ping time, bridge relationships, and more, including details not visible in Apple's Home app.

### Can HomeMapper control smart home devices?

No, HomeMapper is designed solely for scanning and inventorying. It does not control, modify, or commission any devices on your network.

### How does HomeMapper help with setup codes?

It features a Setup Code Vault where you can store QR codes or printed codes for HomeKit, Matter, and Z-Wave devices by scanning, photo import, or manual entry. This helps prevent loss of essential setup information.

### What platforms is HomeMapper available on?

HomeMapper is available on iPhone and iPad, offering a table view on iPad and Mac, and rich detail cards on iPhone.

### Can I export my device inventory from HomeMapper?

Yes, you can export your entire inventory to CSV format, allowing you to filter it as needed and open it in applications like Numbers, Excel, or Google Sheets.

### Does HomeMapper have ads?

No, HomeMapper does not contain advertisements.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 26.4.0 — 2026-08-25

• New Health tab on the Topology screen. What needs attention on your Thread mesh, worst first, with the devices named and something to try for each. Most homes show "Everything looks healthy."
• The Thread topology map shows every measured connection, including the backup routers a device can fall back on. A link shows a triangle when it's weak, dropping traffic, or has gone quiet. Tap a line for the readings.
• The Devices screen says more in its columns and popover: Signal now covers Wi-Fi, Stability shows how long a device has been up and switches to a restart count when it isn't staying up, and Thread Role shows how much of the mesh a router carries.
• Lifetime Access: for those more inclined to a one-time purchase, you can now buy HomeMapper Pro Lifetime. It never expires.
• The Topology map fits better by default on all devices.
• HomeMapper is more accurate about which Home Assistant devices can hold a setup code and which cannot.
• More specific messages are shown when a Home Assistant scan fails.
• Various other minor fixes & improvements.

### 26.3.0 — 2026-07-29

• New Topology tab (Pro): a map of your Thread mesh and HomeKit bridges, drawn from the connections HomeMapper can measure. It names the mesh leader and channel and warns you if the network has split. Tap a device for details, or tap a line to see that link's signal and how stable it has been. Export the map as a PNG, PDF, or SVG to save or share.
• Matter over Thread devices now show how they connect: the parent router each one uses, its signal strength, and a new stability reading that flags devices that keep reconnecting to the mesh even when the signal looks fine.
• The device list gains new columns: Connected via (the bridge, hub, or parent router a device connects through), a single Signal column covering both network response time and Thread link strength, plus Thread Channel and Thread Stability.
• New Thread Topology Scan toggle in Settings > Discovery (Pro). For new users, IP Network and the topology scan start on; turn the scan off for faster scans when you don't need the map.
• Long scans now finish when you leave the app instead of being cut short.
• On iPhone, the search field on the Devices tab no longer locks up the second time you use it.
• Lights, switches, and sensors behind a Matter-provisioned bridge are no longer labeled as Matter devices. Only the bridge itself is.
• Accessories behind a Matter bridge are no longer marked as missing a setup code. The bridge holds the only code there is.
• Devices found only on the local network and not in HomeKit or Home Assistant, like printers and NAS boxes, are now discovered.
• Various other minor fixes & improvements.

### 26.2.1 — 2026-07-07

* Fewer duplicate rows in your device list: a device that appeared more than once, because it was bridged into HomeKit or paired into more than one platform (like both HomeKit and Matter), now shows as a single device.
* If you run Homebridge with more than one bridge, HomeMapper now lists each bridge separately instead of collapsing them into one.
* Onboarding and the Pro welcome screens now fit any screen size: titles and content no longer get cut off, and longer pages scroll instead of running off the bottom.

### 26.2.0 — 2026-06-24

* Save setup codes for your HomeKit, Matter, and Z-Wave devices: scan a QR code, capture a printed code with the camera or a photo, type it in, or bulk-import and export with CSV. A Devices Missing Setup Codes page shows which devices still need one, and a new Setup Codes help page covers it all.
* iCloud sync keeps your setup codes, Home Assistant logins and connections, and settings in sync across your devices. A Delete iCloud Data action removes just your cloud copies.
* Clearer backup settings: "Automatic backup" and "Manual backup" replaced the previous "Scan backup" label
* Home Assistant devices are now correctly placed in their assigned Home Assistant home.
* Miscellaneous bug fixes and improvements

### 26.1.1 — 2026-06-10

* The home switcher now includes Home Assistant alongside your HomeKit homes, so you can filter devices by any home.
* Home Assistant instances display their configured location name in addition to the IP address in Settings.
