Vulpo is a fully native smart home dashboard and automation editor for Home Assistant on iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple Watch, with widgets, Live Activities and Siri built in. Every screen is built from scratch - no web views, just a fast, genuinely native experience. DASHBOARD 40+ card types for lights, climate, cameras, media players, locks, covers, sensors, plants, solar panels, weather, clocks and more. Drag to reorder, build multiple dashboards, and sync everything across your devices via iCloud. Eight appearance presets give each dashboard its own look. On iPhone Duo, a card's controls open on the other half while your dashboard stays in view. AUTOMATIONS Create and edit your Home Assistant automations as a canvas of cards, a step list or YAML, with forms made for touch, and watch triggers fire live. Or just describe what should happen and Vulpo drafts it with your own devices, using Apple's on-device model, or Vulpo Intelligence with Pro. Requires a Home Assistant administrator account. INTERCOM Your voice on the Home Assistant speakers you choose, even when you're away, with live captions made on your device. Requires a Home Assistant administrator account. APPLE WATCH Glances, favorites, scenes and pinned cards, with controls built for the Digital Crown and any entity on your watch face. Works on its own over Wi-Fi or LTE. Whisker (Vulpo Labs) turns the watch into a magic wand: point at a device and double-tap to control it. LIVE ACTIVITIES Follow your washing machine, dishwasher, dryer, oven, thermostat, vacuum, solar panels and people on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island, and pause, resume or adjust them without opening the app. ENERGY (VULPO LABS) Your Home Assistant Energy Dashboard as a living 3D scene, with the sun's real path, live power flows and your actual buildings. Scrub through the day and explore usage, sources and what each device costs. MEDIA A full-screen player with synced lyrics, a library browser and multi-room speaker grouping, plus your whole Music Assistant queue. On iOS 27, every player also gets a Now Playing card on the Lock Screen and in Control Center. 3D ROOM SCAN Scan your rooms with LiDAR and see your smart home in 3D, with realistic lighting and your actual furniture where it belongs. Tap a device's label to control it right in the room. WIDGETS & CONTROL CENTER Eight widget types for your Home Screen and Lock Screen, from toggles and locks to cameras and solar, and five Control Center controls for lights, switches, covers, scenes and scripts. SIRI Ask Siri for a home report or whether your doors are locked, say "turn this off" while looking at a device, and search Vulpo from Spotlight. HOMEPASS Share your whole Vulpo setup with your household as a backup file, or hand it over in person with a scannable boarding pass. PRIVACY Vulpo talks directly to your Home Assistant, on your local network at home and through your own external URL when you're away. No cloud account needed.
