Features
Read full description

Home.io puts your smart home on a 3D model of your own house. See at a glance which lights are on, which doors are open and how warm every room is, then tap anything to control it. YOUR HOUSE, IN 3D • Draw your floor plan room by room, scan it with LiDAR, use a photo of your plans, or import a 3D model (USDZ, OBJ). • Walls cut away so you can see into every room; choose how high the walls and furniture stand. • Switch floors, turn the house, pan and zoom, and save your favourite views. • A real-time sky with the actual sun position and live weather, from day to night. EVERY ACCESSORY WHERE IT REALLY IS • Works with Apple Home (HomeKit) and Home Assistant, side by side, without duplicates. • Lights glow in their rooms with their brightness; locks, doors, sensors, thermostats, speakers and cameras show their state on the model. • Rooms named differently in Apple Home or Home Assistant are easy to match to your plan. • A clean 2D plan view, the Accessories list, scenes, music and Siri-style voice control. AWAY FROM HOME • Leave an iPad at home as your hub and control Home Assistant from your iPhone anywhere, through your own iCloud, with no network setup. WORKFLOWS AND TILES • Workflows run step by step on your home hub, even with your phone asleep: wait, do one thing or another, send a notification. • Tiles that show up only when you need them, charts, and dashboards you arrange yourself. • Describe It: type what you want in a sentence and check the draft, on devices that can run it. ON ALL YOUR DEVICES • iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch and Apple TV, with widgets. Your plans and settings sync through iCloud. HOME.IO PRO (ONE-TIME PURCHASE) Unlock the model editor (paint any surface, add trees, shrubs and furniture, make doors move), your own house models and more floor plans, replay of the last day on the model, automations and workflows, and live camera windows on the model. One purchase, no subscription, shared with your family. Home.io collects no personal data.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Sendal at none against Home.io's 1. Sendal also leads on iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). Home.io's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs every 3 weeks) and device support (5 vs 2). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
