Meet HomeAI — the smartest way to control your home. Forget tapping through apps and hunting for the right switch. With HomeAI, you just talk. Ask your home anything. Tell it what you want. Watch it happen. --- FULL HOME ASSISTANT INTEGRATION HomeAI connects directly to your Home Assistant server and puts your entire smart home at your fingertips — or rather, at the tip of your tongue. Control lights, thermostats, locks, fans, blinds, media players, cameras, sensors and more. Query device states, trigger scenes, and even create or edit automations — all through natural conversation. No cloud middleman. No extra hub. Just you and your home. --- POWERED BY THE AI OF YOUR CHOICE Why lock you into one AI? HomeAI lets you bring your own API key and pick the model that works best for you: • Anthropic Claude • OpenAI GPT • Google Gemini • Kimi • MiniMax Switch providers any time with a single tap. Use the latest models the moment they're released. --- TALK. LISTEN. DONE. Tap the microphone and speak naturally. HomeAI understands context, handles follow-up questions, and responds in a warm, natural voice. Choose from premium text-to-speech engines — OpenAI, Inworld, Google Gemini — or use the built-in iOS voice. Fully configurable. "Turn off all the lights downstairs." "What's the temperature in the living room?" "Lock the front door and set the thermostat to 68." "Create an automation that turns on the porch light at sunset." It just works. --- CONTROL FROM YOUR WRIST The companion Apple Watch app gives you instant voice control without even pulling out your phone. Tap, speak, get an answer — from anywhere in your home or on the go. Settings sync automatically from your iPhone. Setup once, use everywhere. --- YOUR SETTINGS FOLLOW YOU Configure HomeAI once and it follows you everywhere. All your settings — Home Assistant server, AI provider, language, voice preferences, and custom persona — sync automatically across all your Apple devices via iCloud. Delete and reinstall the app? Everything is instantly restored. --- PRIVATE BY DESIGN HomeAI was built with privacy at its core: • No accounts. No sign-up. No tracking. • No analytics. No data collection. Ever. • API keys stored securely in the iOS Keychain — encrypted and hardware-backed. • Conversations go directly from your device to the AI provider you choose. HomeAI never sees them. • Home Assistant commands go directly to your own server. Your home. Your data. Your control. --- MAKE IT YOURS Name your home. Pick your language (English, French, or Spanish). Define a custom persona for your assistant — formal, friendly, playful, or anything in between. HomeAI adapts to the way you live. --- REQUIREMENTS • Home Assistant server (local or remote) • API key for your chosen AI provider • iOS 16 or later
