Thinka Companion vs Controller for HomeKit

Thinka Setup is the companion app for the Thinka smart-home bridge. It’s the fastest way to bring your Z-Wave and KNX devices into Apple HomeKit and keep them in sync as your home grows. WHAT THINKA SETUP DOES • Discovers every Thinka on your Wi-Fi automatically — no IP addresses, no manual configuration. • Pairs your Thinka into the HomeKit home of your choice, using Apple’s secure pairing flow. • Syncs the Thinka’s internal accessory list with HomeKit so all your Z-Wave and KNX devices appear natively in the Home app and Siri. • Adds new Z-Wave devices with SmartStart by scanning their QR code — no controller inclusion mode, no walking back and forth. • Manages multiple Thinkas from one place, whether you have one bridge in an apartment or a fleet across a building. BUILT FOR IOS 26 Thinka Setup has been rebuilt from the ground up in SwiftUI and Swift 6, with Apple’s modern concurrency model end-to-end. Discovery, pairing, and sync all run as first-class async streams — the UI stays responsive even while a large home is being synced for the first time. REMOTE SUPPORT, ON YOUR TERMS Need a hand from Thinka support? A single toggle opens a secure, authenticated tunnel so a Thinka engineer can inspect your bridge — and the same toggle closes it when you’re done. Nothing is ever left open in the background. VACATION MODE Heading away? Enable Vacation Mode from the app and Thinka will simulate presence for you. Turn it off from anywhere with one tap when you get home. PRIVACY Thinka Setup talks to your Thinka on your local network and to Apple HomeKit on your device. Your accessory data does not leave your home. See our privacy policy at https://thinka.eu/privacy. REQUIREMENTS • iOS 26 or later • A Thinka Z-Wave or KNX bridge on the same Wi-Fi network • An Apple ID with iCloud + HomeKit enabled

Get more out of your smart home. Your HomeKit and Matter devices can do more than on and off: Controller for HomeKit gives you dashboards you build yourself, workflows that run over several steps, months of history, and a floor plan you control directly. YOUR OWN DASHBOARD Your devices sit where you need them, instead of in a list. - Views you compose yourself from tiles: per home, per person, and if you want, per device. One for the iPad on the wall, one for the iPhone in your pocket. - More than 25 tile variants: devices, scenes, workflows, time, weather, calendar, charts, battery warnings. - Five standard sizes, or drag your own size on the grid. - Visibility conditions: a tile or a whole section appears only when you need it. - Plus widgets for your Home Screen and a view of your own on Apple Watch. CONTROLLER AI Describe what you need in plain language: a dashboard, a scene, an automation or a workflow. Controller builds it, and you adjust it however you like afterwards. MORE THAN A SCHEDULE Two devices become a sequence that thinks along. - Workflows: multiple steps, conditions and branches for sequences a single automation cannot express. - Automations with advanced triggers and conditions. - States: virtual switches that capture how your home currently stands and drive your workflows accordingly. - Custom notifications for anything you want to know about. - NFC tags: one tap and the workflow runs. YOUR SENSORS ARE ALREADY MEASURING Controller remembers the values and makes them readable. - Charts: see how temperature, humidity or battery level develop over weeks and months, across every device and brand. - Maintenance: which battery is empty, which device is unreachable, which automation is broken. - Logs: every activity and every change, traceable. - Smart folders: devices and automations grouped by filters you define. - Floor Plan: scan your home with the LiDAR sensor of your iPhone or iPad and control your devices right on the plan. - Controller Hub: a dedicated iPhone, iPad, Apple TV or Mac runs your workflows automatically. Charts and States require Controller Hub. SHARE THE WORK, NOT JUST THE SWITCHES - Home Sharing: pass your entire setup to the people you live with. For each person you choose between the whole app or only the dashboards you share with them. - Setup codes: your HomeKit and Matter codes stay safe in the app and never get lost. - Backups: save your setup and restore it whenever you need to. Controller for HomeKit runs on iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch and Apple TV. You already own the devices. Controller for HomeKit brings out what is in them.
