## What is RLSAND Home for HomeKit?

R.L.SAND HOME is the easy way to set up automations for your home. An automation makes your home do something on its own, like turning on a light when it sees motion. You pick how much help you want, from "just do it for me" to full control.
 
We built this app to make it easier to create and debug automations for our own home. We're working on future versions that put AI to even more use, while keeping your privacy protected. We hope it saves you time and makes the whole process easier.
 
R.L.SAND HOME is designed to nicely co-exist with other HomeKit apps, giving you a hassle-free way to automate your home.
 
Try it free. Play with everything in a built-in sample home. You do not need a real home or any setup. When you are ready, a one-time Full Unlock (no subscription, no trial) connects your own home.
 
FOUR WAYS TO BUILD
- Templates — the fastest way. Pick ready-made automations made from your own devices. Just pick a room, pick a template, and save. No typing.
- Guided Wizard — a friendly step-by-step helper. Choose a trigger, conditions, and actions from simple menus. Check it and save.
- AI Wizard — just say what you want in plain words. Type "turn on the kitchen lights when there's motion and it's dark." The app finds your devices, asks if it needs to, shows you a preview, and saves it.
- Automation Editor — full control. Build with TRIGGER / IF / THEN blocks you can drag and drop, with AND/OR logic for more advanced automations.
 
WHY R.L.SAND HOME
- On-device Intelligence (iOS 26 and greater)
- Built-in helper — ask a question and it answers or takes you to the right screen.
- Never guesses — if something is unclear, it asks instead of guessing wrong.
- Uses your real devices — your own device and room names, every time.
 
POWERFUL, BUT SIMPLE
- Mix and match — join triggers with AND/OR (for example, light below 50 lux AND motion).
- Many actions at once — turn on every light in a room together.
- Smart triggers — motion, contact sensors, light level, presence, time, sunrise, and sunset.
- Scenes — save a set of device states and run them anytime.
 
SEE YOUR WHOLE HOME
- Live status — see what is on, off, open, or seeing motion the moment it changes.
- Zones made easy — a zone groups rooms into an area like "Upstairs" or "Basement" so you can see and automate them together.
- Search — find any home, room, device, sensor reading, or automation.
- Live controls — change things like brightness right from the details.
- Health checks — the app spots automations that may not work well and helps fix them.
 
PRIVACY FIRST
Your home data is handled by Apple's HomeKit, and the AI features use Apple Intelligence. R.L.SAND HOME never gets your home data or your AI requests. We have no sign-in and no servers of our own. The only thing we collect is anonymous data about which parts of the app get used. It is never tied to who you are, never used to track you, and you can turn it off anytime in Settings. We use it only to find the most-used features and make them better for you.
 
R.L.SAND HOME keeps getting better
Your feedback shapes what comes next. If something does not work the way you expect, tell us. We read every message and fix what we can.
 
To use your own home, you need a home set up in Apple Home. The AI features (the plain-words AI builder and the built-in helper) use Apple Intelligence and need iOS/iPadOS 26 or macOS 26 or later on a supported device. Templates, the step-by-step builder, and the full editor work on earlier versions.
