Your dishwasher, your 3D printer, your EV charger, live on your Lock Screen. And now with buttons: pause the vacuum or send the mower home without unlocking. Aivi turns one HTTP request into a Live Activity or a widget on iPhone, Apple Watch and CarPlay. If Home Assistant, a script, or anything else in your stack can make an HTTP call, Aivi can display it. No app to build, no push certificates, no SDK. NEW: LIVE ACTIVITIES YOU CAN PRESS - A new Live Activity template with your own picture of the device and customizable buttons - A button can run your automation, flip a toggle or open a link - Each press reaches your automation as an event or a webhook, and the card shows what happened - Two new widgets: Showcase, a photo with your readings, and Remote, one device with its controls WIDGETS - Thirteen templates: showcase, remote, switchboard, progress, gauge, trend charts, battery levels, electricity prices, countdown, budget, energy flow, list and status - Every size, including the extra-large portrait size in iOS 27 - Widget Board, watch face complications and Smart Stack - Looks native everywhere: the tinted Home Screen, StandBy on the nightstand LIVE ACTIVITIES - Dishwasher and washing machine cycles with live countdowns - 3D prints with progress and time remaining - EV charging with charge level and completion estimate - Robot vacuums and mowers you can pause or send home - Always visible on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island until they're done KEY FEATURES - Family sharing: set up once, send an invite link, and everyone's devices stay in step.
