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?

MAKE IT YOURS Nine widget themes, from Midnight to Daylight, to match any wallpaper. HONEST ABOUT FRESHNESS iOS decides how often widgets can refresh.
