Lar – Connected Home

Lar brings together in one list the devices of your LG ThinQ, Smart Life (Tuya), SmartThings and Alexa accounts, the accessories of Apple's Home app, the Google TVs on your network and your Xbox. No server and no Lar account: it talks straight to your accounts, with your own keys. IN THE LIST • Turn lights, plugs, fans and TVs on and off with one tap. • Full air conditioner control: temperature, mode, fan, airflow direction, eco mode and a history with an energy estimate. • Light brightness and color. • Live cameras, one or all at once. • TV remote: arrows, back, home, volume, channels, apps and typing on the TV. • Xbox: turn it on and off, use it as a controller (arrows, A, B, X, Y, Menu and the Xbox button), open games and apps and see what's playing. • Alexa Echos: volume, Do Not Disturb, music, speak, announce on all of them and ask Alexa anything. • Robot vacuums: clean, go back to the dock, their state and battery. Locks: door open or closed and battery, and the camera of those with video. SCENES AND AUTOMATIONS • Scenes that do several things at once ("Bedtime", "Movie"). • At a time, when arriving and when leaving home. • Alexa routines become Lar scenes. • "Turn off in…" for any device. APPLE HOME APP • The Home app's accessories (HomeKit and Matter) show in Lar's list, next to your other accounts. • On the Mac, Lar brings your devices to the Home app and Siri: lights, plugs, fans, air conditioners, thermometers and cameras with live video. • No duplicates: what's already in the Home app shows once. ON ALL YOUR DEVICES • iPhone and iPad, with widgets you choose (devices, scenes, air conditioner, TV and Xbox remote, a summary with Turn off everything), Control Center, Siri and Shortcuts. • Live Activities on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island: washer and kitchen, air conditioner, TV and Xbox, the robot cleaning, and any device you choose to follow, with buttons. • Apple Watch, working by itself. • CarPlay: scenes and every device, like the iPhone's list. • Apple TV and Apple Vision Pro. • Mac, in the menu bar. • Scenes, names, favorites and rooms the same everywhere through iCloud, away from home too, and the home shared with the people you live with. • Alerts from the Mac (washer done) reach the iPhone even with Lar closed. PRIVACY Lar collects no data. Keys stay in your devices' Keychain. Just looking? Turn on "Sample home" in Settings and try it with no account. The Alexa integration is unofficial: Amazon may change it.
