Home Response Lab

Features
Read full description

Home Response Lab measures compatible accessory responsiveness from your iPhone or iPad using HomeKit technology. Run repeatable tests for lights, switches, outlets, and other controllable accessories, then compare latency, reliability, sample counts, firmware, model, serial, and manufacturer information in a clear benchmark report. Export polished PDF or long-image reports when you need to document a setup, compare accessories, or share results with a team. CSV export remains free. The app keeps benchmark history on device so you can revisit previous runs without sending your Home data to a developer-operated remote service.
