About

HA! I'm Home!

Read full description

HA Im Home detects when you arrive home and instantly triggers your Home Assistant automations β€” before you even reach the door. HOW IT WORKS The app uses a combination of GPS geofencing and barometric pressure (elevator detection) to know you're almost home. It then connects via Bluetooth Low Energy to a Mac Mini running the HA Im Home daemon, which securely notifies your Home Assistant instance. No cloud servers. No subscriptions. Everything stays on your local network. FEATURES - Automatic arrival detection via GPS + elevator pressure drop - Bluetooth Low Energy β€” fast, battery-friendly - HMAC-SHA256 authentication β€” cryptographically secure - Works with any Home Assistant automation - Presence sensor per user β€” supports multiple family members - Runs silently in the background REQUIREMENTS - Home Assistant instance on your local network - Mac with Bluetooth (always-on, e.g. Mac Mini) - HA Im Home integration installed in Home Assistant - HA Im Home Mac daemon running on your Mac PRIVACY Your location never leaves your device. Authentication secrets are stored only in Home Assistant β€” never on any external server.
