"Scan your Wi-Fi and every device comes back with a real name instead of an IP address. Tap any one to see what it's actually running. Nothing you find ever leaves your device. It usually starts with a router page full of numbers and one smart plug that has stopped answering. Working out which line is which shouldn't take an evening. Smart Home Playground Analyzer does it in seconds, and then goes a good deal further. WHAT IT DOES Deep network scan — sweep your local network and find everything on it. Smart home gear, speakers, TVs, wearables, laptops, and the two or three things you forgot you owned. Names, not numbers — on-device AI recognizes the hardware on your Wi-Fi and gives it a name you'll actually recognize. Device Inspector — tap any device for the full picture. Who made it, what services it's got open, which protocols and ports it's using, and how it reaches your network. Smart Home Inspector Report — a readable summary of your whole network, from media capabilities through to Matter fabric analysis. Reads in 13 languages. Protocol tagging — the app asks each device what it speaks and labels it: Matter, Thread, AirPlay, Cast, mDNS, Bonjour. Built natively for iPhone, iPad and Mac in Swift. Scan from the couch, dig into the details at your desk. CONTROL, AND WHAT THAT MEANS HERE Two specific things, and it's worth being straight about the limits up front. Cast playback — play, pause, skip and change volume on your Cast-enabled speakers and displays. On iPhone and iPad, a Live Activity keeps the controls on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island while something's playing. On Mac, they appear in Control Center's Now Playing and on your media keys while the app is open. That's the whole of it. This isn't a universal remote. It won't talk to your TV over infrared, and it doesn't do Roku, Fire TV or a cable box. If that's what you need, there are excellent apps out there that do it. IT FITS INTO YOUR DEVICE PROPERLY Spotlight — the devices you discover get indexed locally, so you can search a device name from the Home Screen and land straight on it. Siri and Shortcuts — App Intents let you run a scan, check what's online, or control playback by voice or inside your own automations. WHO THIS IS FOR The person whose smart plug dropped off the network and can't work out why. The IT professional who'd rather audit an unfamiliar network in five minutes than an afternoon. And anyone who's simply curious about what's going on in their own house. ABOUT PRIVACY No accounts. No analytics. No server anywhere. Every scan and every bit of AI identification happens on the device in your hands, and the results stay there. Your home network is nobody's business but yours, and the app is built to keep it that way. Take control of your smart home with a tool made by the curious, for the curious. Something broken or missing? Get in touch — every message gets read."
