## What is Wand?

Open Wand and the device you want is already on screen. No list to scroll, no dashboard to build.

Wand is the remote layer for the smart home you already run. Connect Home Assistant or Apple Home, stand where you normally control something, and Wand remembers the spot. Raise your phone there again and that device opens first.

FASTER THAN A DEVICE LIST
• Opens on one device, not on a grid of forty entities.
• Wrong guess? Tap once to switch. That tap is the training.
• Nothing to configure. No YAML, no cards to arrange, no automations to write.

A REAL REMOTE FOR EACH DEVICE
• TV and media: D-pad, playback, volume, channels, inputs.
• Air conditioning: temperature, mode, fan speed.
• Lights: power, brightness, colour temperature, presets.
• Curtains and covers: open, stop, close, exact position.
• Fans, speakers, switches, and other Home Assistant entities.

WORKS WITH WHAT YOU ALREADY HAVE
• Home Assistant, over your local network.
• Apple Home accessories.
• Recognition runs on the iPhone itself and combines Wi-Fi fingerprint, compass heading, and motion. Nothing is uploaded, there is no account, and every learned spot can be erased in one tap.

FREE AND PRO
Every remote is free, with no time limit. The free version remembers spots for two devices; Wand Pro removes that cap, as a lifetime purchase or an annual subscription.

Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation. Annual subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the current period ends. Manage or cancel in your Apple Account settings.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 2026.9.28 — 2026-09-29

Setup is shorter and gets you to your own devices faster.

• No upgrade screen during setup any more. Wand only mentions Pro after it has recognised a device for you, or when you teach a third device.
• Skip now takes you straight to connecting your home, instead of dropping you into the sample devices.
• Settings now says it plainly: every remote is free; Pro only lifts the limit on learned devices.
• New "Rate Wand" row in Settings.

### 2026.9.17 — 2026-09-18

Permissions are no longer scattered through the setup flow. They now sit on one checklist, after you connect your home, where you can see what each one is for and turn on only what you want.

• New Permissions page in Settings — check status and change your mind at any time.
• Sample devices no longer show a recognition percentage. A number that never moved was never a real reading.
• Fixed the device name running into the label before it, in every language.
• Fixed "Wand Pro" appearing under a wrong name in several languages.
• The upgrade screen now closes immediately when pricing cannot be loaded.
• The upgrade screen now shows what the free version covers, instead of only mentioning it when you try to leave.

### 2026.8.31 — 2026-09-01

A new welcome flow — see how it works before you connect anything.

· Raise your phone and turn around to watch aiming detection work live
· We explain why the compass is needed before asking, and you can skip anytime
· New sample-device mode lets you try everything without connecting
· Refreshed app icon

### 2026.7.1 — 2026-07-01

Updated the app icon.

### 2026.6.22 — 2026-06-23

• Smarter recognition: now also uses magnetic field and nearby Bluetooth signals to tell similar spots apart.
• Source labels show whether a device comes from Apple Home or Home Assistant.
• A gentle hint to enable Location when it's needed for direction sensing.
• Stability and localization improvements.
