RLSAND Home for HomeKit

New in this version • Version 2.0 needs iOS, iPadOS or macOS 26 or later. • Fixed a crash found in testing on iOS 26.0 to 26.2: closing an automation with unsaved changes could close the app. • Risky actions start off. In your own home, while Allow Risky Actions (Settings › Automations) is off, the app won't save, switch on or run an automation, scene, Siri or Shortcuts action that unlocks a door, opens a garage, turns off an alarm, or turns on a heater, a valve or a faucet. Automations already on can still run. Thermostats set to heat and sprinklers ask first instead, and device pages unlock and open after asking. The wizards and the editor tell you before you save, and templates that can't be saved stay hidden. Turn it on, or use the sample home, and Run, Siri and Shortcuts ask first. • Record of Risky Actions (Settings › Data & Sharing): a private list, kept on this device, of the risky actions the app refused, asked about or sent. You can export or clear it. • Before You Start: a safety page you accept once on each device. Until you do, Siri and Shortcuts actions that change your home won't run. • A simpler Automation Editor. Saved automations open as a clean page: tap Edit to change them, Done to save. Add to any block with the + on its bar. Each row names the device first, then what it does. • Auto-Reverse is now "When It's Done": it sets what happens afterwards, like "Turn off after 2 minutes". Undo Changes puts a saved automation back the way you last saved it. • Talk to the wizard. Speak your request in your own words and watch the live preview fill in. Your speech is turned into text on your device. • Change one part at a time. Tap Trigger, Condition or Action in the preview, or say "change the condition", and your next words change that part. • Debug mode. Open a saved automation and tap Debug to watch its sensors and devices live. It tells you whether the automation would run, and why not. • Automation Health finds more kinds of problems and offers a fix where it can. It warns about two automations only when they can really start at the same moment. Repair All shows the days each automation will run on, then reads them back to check they were saved. • Tiles you make. Add Home tiles such as Lights or Doors & Locks, each with a live count. A plug or switch that Apple Home shows as a light or fan joins your Lights or Fans tiles (not power strips). • Open pages keep up by themselves: the Dashboard, My Home, tiles, Devices and Sensors check your devices again while open. Choose how often in Settings › General › Update open pages. • On a device page, tap a row under "Used in automations" to open that automation. • Templates look like templates: indigo cards with a "Template" label. • Your colors. Settings › Appearance › Colors picks the "on" color for lights, outlets, fans, shades and more. • It asks when it isn't sure. "One of the kitchen lights" asks which light. "When Sam comes home" asks: anyone, or only you? HomeKit can't watch one other person. • "Between sunset and sunrise" works as a night-time check. • Better understanding of rooms, devices, blinds and thermostats, and "turn them off after 5 minutes" stays in one automation. • Devices with the same name in different rooms now show and open the right one. • Checked saves. When you save an automation, the app reads it back from HomeKit and tells you if anything differs. • Honest readings. A light or fan whose state isn't known shows "State unknown" instead of on or off. • Private Cloud Compute on iOS, iPadOS and macOS 27 or later, only if you allow it. The app never adds names from your home. • Usage data stays off unless you turn on Share usage data (Settings › Data & Sharing). • The list of HomePod and Apple TV devices found on your Wi-Fi now stays on each device.
