Controller for HomeKit vs HomeScreen for HomeKit

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.

Your home at a glance. At home and on the go. HomeScreen for HomeKit turns your iPhone or iPad into a personal dashboard and a simple control panel for your home. On a wall-mounted iPad, on your iPhone or in CarPlay: see what matters and keep your favorite controls within reach. YOUR HOME AT A GLANCE See the time, full date, current weather and rain forecast alongside the status of your lights, doors, windows, shades and alerts. Check temperatures, humidity and climate devices, and keep favorite scenes and accessories on your dashboard. Create multiple dashboards for different places and situations. HomeScreen supports portrait and landscape on iPhone and iPad. ALSO IN CARPLAY Choose up to four separate CarPlay favorites for each home on your iPhone. Start scenes and control supported accessories from your car’s display, independently of your dashboard favorites. See which lights are on and turn them off directly. Browse open doors and windows, sensor readings and alerts, grouped by room. Hidden items stay out of view in CarPlay too. Set up your CarPlay favorites before driving, so you do not have to search on the road. CONTROL WHAT YOU NEED Find scenes and accessories by name or room, or reopen recently used items. Switch lights and switches, adjust brightness and set shades to the position you want with a slider. Set the temperature of supported thermostats and air conditioners directly in HomeScreen. Before a climate change, HomeScreen can warn you about HomeKit automations that may change your setting later. Your automations remain unchanged. View HomeKit cameras full screen, with optional audio and configurable PTZ buttons. Switch easily between your HomeKit homes. HOME SCREEN WIDGETS Control favorites or check home alerts without opening HomeScreen first. Choose a widget size that suits you and switch between homes in the favorites widget. MAKE IT YOURS Choose which rooms, scenes and accessories are visible. Reorder rooms, cameras and dashboard tiles, and customize names and room icons. Save dashboards and supported settings through iCloud. Choose separately on each device whether the screen stays active, dims or goes black, and whether the doorbell camera opens automatically when someone rings. ALERTS THAT HELP See which accessories need attention, such as a low battery, an unreachable device, an open door or window, smoke or a water leak. Components belonging to the same physical device are grouped where possible. Hide irrelevant alerts and restore them later. PRIVACY AND PURCHASE HomeScreen works with Apple HomeKit, requires no separate account and contains no ads. iCloud stores your HomeScreen setup; it does not back up your HomeKit home or automations. Try all features for 30 days, including CarPlay and widgets. Then unlock HomeScreen with a one-time purchase. No subscription and no automatic charge when the trial ends. HomeKit features require a configured home and permission to access Home data. Local weather uses your location with your permission. CarPlay requires a compatible car or receiver. Available controls, camera audio and PTZ depend on your accessories and what they expose through HomeKit.
