Your smart home, right on your Home Screen. WidgetHajv turns the devices in your Home Assistant setup into clean, glanceable widgets. Check the temperature, see who's moving in the hallway, lock the front door or switch off the lights – without opening an app. Please note: WidgetHajv is an independent app made by a single developer. It is not made by, affiliated with or endorsed by the Home Assistant team, the Open Home Foundation or Nabu Casa. You need your own Home Assistant server to use it. WIDGETS FOR EVERYTHING • Light widget – see a light's state and brightness, tap to switch it • Sensor widget – temperature, humidity, power, CO2 and more • Dashboard widget – up to six devices in one grid • Lock Screen widgets for the sensors you check most TAP TO CONTROL Switch lights, outlets and fans, and lock or unlock doors straight from the widget. The widget updates right away. FIND THE RIGHT DEVICE, FAST Have thousands of entities? Filter by type, search by name, hide the ones you never use, and star your favorites so they're always at the top when you set up a widget. MAKE IT YOURS Nine widget themes, from Midnight to Daylight, to match any wallpaper. HONEST ABOUT FRESHNESS iOS decides how often widgets can refresh. When data is older than expected, the widget shows when it was last updated, so you always know what you're looking at. Opening the app refreshes every widget instantly. PRIVATE BY DESIGN WidgetHajv talks directly to your own Home Assistant server – nothing goes through us. Your server address and access token are stored in the iOS Keychain on your device. No accounts, no analytics, no tracking. TRY IT FIRST No Home Assistant yet? Tap "Try the Demo" to explore a sample smart home and see how the widgets work. WHAT YOU NEED • A Home Assistant server you can reach from your iPhone, on your home network or remotely • A long-lived access token (the app shows you how to create one) Home Assistant is a trademark of the Open Home Foundation. WidgetHajv is an unofficial, third-party app and is not affiliated with or endorsed by the Open Home Foundation, the Home Assistant project or Nabu Casa.
