Vulpo for Home Assistant vs FloraPlot

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. Rename any entity once and its new name and icon apply everywhere. Eight appearance presets give each dashboard its own look, and the Areas screen organizes entities into rooms. AUTOMATIONS Create and edit your Home Assistant automations as a canvas of cards, a step list or YAML. Add steps by picking the device first, fill them in with forms made for touch, and watch triggers fire live or replay recent runs step by step. 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. APPLE WATCH Glances, favorites, scenes and pinned cards in pages you arrange from the iPhone. Control lights, covers, climate, locks, media and vacuums with surfaces built for the Digital Crown and put 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 Media players open a full Now Playing view with a library browser, search and multi-room speaker grouping. 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. WIDGETS & CONTROL CENTER Eight widget types (toggle, group, solar, chart, person, camera, lock, cover) for your Home Screen and Lock Screen, and five Control Center controls for lights, switches, covers, scenes, and scripts. SIRI Ask Siri for a home report, whether your doors are locked or what the temperature is. Say "turn this off" while looking at a device, and search Vulpo from Siri or 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 connects directly to your Home Assistant on your local network. No cloud account needed. If you have your own external URL set up, Vulpo uses that when you're away from home.

FloraPlot turns a satellite image of your real garden into a working plan- and works out the conditions that actually decide what will grow. Trace your lawn, beds, borders, paths, greenhouse and trees over the aerial view. FloraPlot then models the sunlight, reads the soil beneath you, and matches plants to what your garden really offers. SEE YOUR GARDEN'S SUNLIGHT • Direct sun hours for every part of your garden, month by month • A heatmap over the satellite image, with a month scrubber • Your own structures cast the shadows- sheds, fences, walls, greenhouses • Trees modelled properly, with canopy density • Deciduous trees are bare in winter, so April and July give different answers • Greenhouses and polytunnels let light through instead of blocking it • Check evening sun before you site a seat or a patio • Compare layouts: see what a new shed or a felled tree would do Solar positions use the standard NOAA method, validated against US Naval Observatory data. KNOW YOUR SITE • Soil pH, organic carbon and texture for your exact coordinates • Sand, silt and clay percentages, in plain English • Local temperature, rainfall and daylight by month • Slope and aspect corrected for your latitude • Estimates are always labelled as estimates DESIGN YOUR GARDEN • Draw zones with freehand, rectangle and oval tools • Zones stay pinned to their real GPS position • Raised beds, covered growing, pond, veg patch, tree and more • Area in square metres for every zone • Snapshots to save and compare layouts CHOOSE THE RIGHT PLANTS • 600 curated plants with sun, pH, soil, height, spread and hardiness • Recommendations matched to each zone's measured conditions • Toxicity warnings from the RHS list, filtered for pets or small children • Companion planting warnings • Search 400,000+ species with Trefle STAY ON TOP OF IT • A calendar built from your own plants- sow, plant, prune, harvest • Care reminders in the iOS Reminders app • Notes, photos and costs for what you planted • Correct for both hemispheres PREMIUM- one payment, yours forever No subscription, ever: • Full shade and sunlight analysis • Up to five gardens- home, allotment, holiday cottage • The complete 600-plant database • Snapshots, raised bed controls, weather alerts, budget tracking • See how your trees will change each part of the garden as they reach full size- and be warned before planting something long-lived where it will not stay suitable PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account.
