HomeMapper vs Threadlytics

Your entire smart home network. One view. HomeMapper builds a unified inventory of every device on your network, scanning HomeKit, Home Assistant, Thread, Matter, and IP at once and correlating them by hardware identifiers. DISCOVER Every method runs at once: • Apple's ecosystem. HomeKit via Apple's framework, plus Thread accessories, Border Routers, and Matter. • The network itself. Bonjour, subnet scans, and protocols like SSDP/UPnP. Printers, NAS boxes, and other local-only devices show up too. • Home Assistant. Direct read of your device registry: Matter, Thread, Zigbee, Z-Wave, ESPHome, and MQTT. When a device appears through several methods, HomeMapper merges it by seven hardware identifiers, not names. If HomeMapper isn't sure two entries are the same device, it lists both. YOUR DEVICES, EVERY DETAIL See devices Apple's Home app can't, and details it doesn't show: manufacturer, model, firmware, serial number, battery, IP and MAC address, and how each device connects, in columns like Connected via, Signal, Channel, and Stability. A room-based view groups them by room. TOPOLOGY MAP The Topology map shows how your devices connect: your Thread mesh, from the border routers down to the end devices they carry, your Zigbee network from Home Assistant, and each HomeKit bridge with the accessories behind it. It draws only connections it can measure. Tap a device for its full detail, or tap a connection to see its signal strength and how stable it has been. A red triangle marks a connection that is not working: weak, dropping traffic, or gone quiet. When a device will not report how it connects, HomeMapper shows that rather than guessing. A Health view lists what needs attention on your mesh, worst first: what is wrong, which devices, and one thing to try. Most homes show "Everything looks healthy." Export the map as a PNG, PDF, or SVG, titled with the home and dated. HOME ASSISTANT HomeMapper scans your Home Assistant servers as deeply as HomeKit, including the Thread mesh behind their border routers. Zigbee, Z-Wave, ESPHome, MQTT: devices HomeKit can't see appear alongside the ones it can. Pick a Primary Platform, and its room names win when a device is known to both. PLACES Scan more than one location, like your home and a relative's. Each Place holds its own Apple Homes and Home Assistant servers, and the app shows one Place at a time. HomeMapper picks the Place from devices on its local network, not your location. SETUP CODE VAULT Every HomeKit, Matter, and Z-Wave device has a setup code on a sticker that fades or gets lost. You need it to pair the device, and again if you reset or move it. No scan can recover one: setup codes never travel over the network. Save each code while you still have it: scan the QR with the camera, pull it from a photo, or type it in. It reads printed 8-digit codes too, for older accessories without a QR. A room-by-room list shows which devices are still missing one. Have a lot? Export a CSV worksheet, fill it in on a computer, and import it back. Your codes are stored on your device, in your backups, and synced through your own iCloud. EXPORT AND BACK UP Export your inventory to CSV, filtered how you want, for Numbers, Excel, or Sheets. Back up your inventory, settings, and setup codes to iCloud Drive or a local folder, and restore on another device. PRIVACY No ads and no tracking. Nothing leaves your device unless you send it. No account, and the only login is your own Home Assistant. FREE AND PRO HomeKit scanning, the device list, the room-based view, and switching between Apple Homes are free forever, with no scan or time limits. Pro adds multi-protocol scanning, all 20+ columns, Places, Home Assistant, the Topology map, the setup code vault, backup and restore, and CSV export.

Your smart home runs on a mesh you can't see. Threadlytics measures it. Thread routers promote and demote themselves, devices sleep and wake, links strengthen and fade — and when something says "No Response," most apps just show you a list. Threadlytics is the instrument: it reads the diagnostics your Matter and Thread devices already publish and turns them into grades, maps, and answers. It complements the Home app; it does not replace it. WHAT IT MEASURES • Mesh health, graded — border-router coverage, routing depth, link quality, and partition state resolved into plain-language grades instead of raw counters. • Per-device health scores — stability, reachability, and CSA certification, each with the evidence behind it. • Topology you can walk — an interactive network map in 2D and 3D, a hierarchy tree, the fabrics your devices belong to, and the full protocol path for any single device. • Weak links — which device drops frames to which neighbor, and at what signal strength, so you know what to move. • Border routers as first-class devices — your HomePods, Apple TVs, and hubs appear with their Thread role, so you can see who is actually carrying your mesh. ONE DEVICE, ONE IDENTITY The same physical device shows up under a different name in every app you own. Threadlytics matches records across Apple Home, Matter, and Home Assistant using stable hardware identifiers so your device list shows your devices, not your ecosystems' copies of them. Anything it cannot match with confidence stays separate, and the app says so. ASK ABOUT YOUR OWN HOUSE The built-in assistant runs on your device and answers only from your latest scan — not from the internet, and not from a guess about smart homes in general. When an answer uses your home data it says so, and it names the devices it drew on. (Requires an iPhone or iPad that supports Apple Intelligence.) SIRI & SHORTCUTS "What needs attention in Threadlytics?" Ask Siri for your home health score, the devices needing attention, or what changed since your last scan — without opening the app. In the Shortcuts app, your devices are first-class objects with score, grade, reachability, and transport. PRIVATE BY ARCHITECTURE No account. No sign-up. Analysis happens on your device and your data stays there. Apple Home, Thread, and Matter work entirely locally; Home Assistant is an opt-in enhancement you can ignore forever. Local-only mode is a first-class mode, not a setting buried three screens deep. Exports are yours: CSV, JSON, and Markdown, with an Anonymize switch for sharing. THREADLYTICS PREMIUM (optional subscription) The free app is complete: scanning, grades, maps, correlation, the assistant, and data exports. Premium adds Home History, score trends, saved snapshots, and a "what changed" feed beyond the free 7-day window — a weekly health digest that shows what got worse, what kept changing, and what improved, network exports (the map as an image, the Tree and Fabrics pages as reports) and priority support. First month free; cancel anytime in your App Store settings. Works with the devices you already own — no hub, no extra hardware, nothing to buy. Requires iOS 26 or later.
