House Control turns your home into a live 3D model you can touch. Draw your floor plan once, place your lamps and air conditioners, and switch them right on the model: lamps light the room the way they light your real one, and a running AC blows visible air. LIGHTS Tap a lamp in the 3D view or its tile to switch it. Drag across a tile to dim. Touch and hold for brightness, white temperature and colour. AIR CONDITIONERS Target temperature, mode and fan speed, with the real room temperature from any thermometer you have. SCENES Cozy, Movie, Night, Away: one tap sets every light and AC in the home. DRAW YOUR HOME ON THE PHONE Rooms, walls, doors, windows and furniture, laid out for a finger. Tap to select, drag to move, pinch to zoom. Start from a blank home or adapt one of the demo layouts. WORKS WITH WHAT YOU HAVE • Home Assistant: everything your server runs, from Zigbee and Matter to Nest, Xiaomi and Sonoff • Philips Hue: your Hue Bridge on the Wi-Fi, found by itself, no account needed • Apple Home: your HomeKit and Matter accessories One home can mix them all. Until you connect something, every device is simulated, so you can try everything first. WIDGETS AND CONTROLS Your home in 3D on the Home Screen, scenes and lamps on the Lock Screen and in Control Center, and quick actions on the app icon. WITH A MAC, IF YOU LIKE Pair with House Control for Mac and your floor plan and connections stay the same on both, whichever one you edit. The Mac app is free and open source. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account, no analytics, no cloud of its own. House Control talks only to your devices and the services you connect, and your plan stays on your iPhone.
