Data Jar vs Home Widget for HomeKit · HW

Data Jar is a data store designed to be used with Shortcuts. The data store lets you persist key-value pairs. If you have used dictionaries and lists in Shortcuts, then you’ll find that the data format used by Data Jar is very similar. - Extensive support for Shortcuts, enabling you to read and update data directly from Shortcuts. - Store text, numbers, booleans, lists, dictionaries and even files. - Files are stored in iCloud Drive and can be accessed from the Files app. - Support for multiple windows and drag and drop on the iPad. - Synchronisation between devices using iCloud. Data Jar is free to use but contains a tip jar where users can pay a few bucks to support the developer.

Control your HomeKit home faster with fully customizable widgets for your Home Screen, Lock Screen and Apple Watch. Home Widget brings accessories, scenes, groups, sensors, cameras and shortcuts together in panels built around your routines. LAUNCH HOMEKIT ACTIONS FROM YOUR LOCK SCREEN Open a compatible gate or garage when you arrive, turn on an accessory or run your Welcome Home scene with one tap on your configured widget. BUILD YOUR OWN HOME SCREEN CONTROL PANEL Create a panel, add accessories, scenes, sensors and shortcuts, then place the widget: your dashboard is ready in minutes. Turn a room's lights on or off together, run a shortcut or control several HomeKit homes. OPEN A CAMERA WITH ONE TAP See who is at the front door, check the driveway or look in on your pets. A Home Screen or Lock Screen widget opens the selected HomeKit camera or video doorbell in Home Widget. Audio options depend on your camera. OPEN YOUR CAMERA MOSAIC WITH ONE TAP Check several cameras on one screen instead of opening them individually. Launch the mosaic from your Home Screen, Lock Screen or Control Center, and choose which cameras to include. ADJUST LIGHT BRIGHTNESS AND COLOR Dim the living room for a movie or change the color of a lamp. Use interactive Home Screen controls or open the light control from a Lock Screen widget. Control one light or the lights in a room. SET BLINDS AND SHADES TO THE POSITION YOU WANT Let in the morning light or lower your blinds partway for privacy. Open the position control from your Home Screen or Lock Screen instead of settling for fully open or closed. ADJUST YOUR HOMEKIT THERMOSTAT Change the target temperature or a supported heating/cooling mode. Use interactive Home Screen controls or open the thermostat control from your Lock Screen. SEE THE READINGS THAT MATTER TO YOU Visual buttons help you tell which accessories are on or off. Display individual sensor values: temperature, humidity, CO₂, air quality and accessory batteries. Add counters for open doors, unsecured locks or unreachable accessories to spot what needs attention. KEEP YOUR HOME ON YOUR WRIST Use Apple Watch complications and Smart Stack widgets to reach your panels, cameras, lights and scenes. Keep your controls and readings on your wrist when your iPhone is out of reach. CUSTOMIZE EVERY DETAIL Choose icons, names, colors, backgrounds, transparency and blur. Use different panel sizes to build compact controls or a full smart home dashboard that feels truly yours. YOUR PANELS ACROSS YOUR DEVICES Sync your panels with iCloud. Add widgets to a stack or Today View on compatible devices to keep your home within reach. Home Widget goes beyond basic on/off widgets with adjustable controls, camera access and personal dashboards. A tap runs an action or opens its control, then you choose the setting. Security actions may require authentication or confirmation. Widget states update within system refresh limits. Works with accessories already configured in Apple's Home app. Some features require Home Widget Premium, available as a one-time purchase or a monthly or yearly subscription. Questions or ideas?
