BedderJet

Read full description

BedderJet is a native iOS controller for the BedJet V3 climate system. It talks to your BedJet one of two ways: directly over Bluetooth LE when you're in range, or through a Home Assistant instance you already run, using the BedderJet Home Assistant integration. This app does not work standalone out of the box. You need one of the following: • A BedJet V3 within Bluetooth range of your iPhone, or • A self-hosted Home Assistant instance with the BedderJet HA integration installed, plus its URL and a long-lived access token (entered in Settings) Don't have either yet? Open Settings and pick "Try Demo" to explore the full dashboard — climate dial, presets, and the biorhythm editor — with a simulated BedJet. No hardware or account required. WHAT IT DOES • Full climate dashboard — temperature, fan speed, mode, and timers • Dual-bed support with custom bed names • Presets for quick temperature/fan combinations • Biorhythm editor — build a timeline of temperature changes across the night. Save it locally to run from your phone, or, on the Home Assistant backend, upload it as a script that runs entirely on your own HA instance, independent of the app and your phone's connectivity • BLE explorer for inspecting the device's raw characteristics — useful if you're building your own integration TWO BACKENDS, ONE APP • Direct BLE — talks straight to your BedJet's Bluetooth radio. No network involved. BedJet V3 allows only one BLE client at a time, so close the official BedJet app first. • Home Assistant — sends commands to your own HA server over its REST API, using the URL and token you provide in Settings. This is the path to use if you also want to bridge BedJet to HomeKit or Google Home, or if you need more than one client talking to the device. PRIVACY, BY CONSTRUCTION • No analytics, crash reporting, or telemetry SDKs — none, anywhere in the app • No third-party or developer-owned servers. The only network address the app ever contacts is the Home Assistant URL you type in yourself • Your HA access token is stored in the iOS Keychain, not UserDefaults • Bed names, biorhythm sequences, and connection settings are stored locally on-device • Full privacy policy: willsigmon.github.io/bedderjet-privacy BedderJet is built for people who already run Home Assistant, or who want a clean, native, no-account app for direct BLE control of their BedJet — nothing more, nothing less.

Maestro Snap lets you control your smart home with Apple Watch. Point at a light and snap your fingers to turn it on or off. Connect Apple Home or Home Assistant, then teach Maestro where you point for each device by sweeping your arm toward it. You can use a finger tap instead of a snap and correct a wrong selection on the watch. Control supported lights, switches, plugs, fans, blinds, TVs, and scenes. Locks and garage doors need a confirmation tap. Add a Maestro complication to your watch face to open the app quickly. On watchOS 11 or later, the Routine Favorites widget puts up to three suggested or pinned devices in the Smart Stack, so you can control them without opening Maestro. One device in one room is free. Maestro Unlimited is a one-time purchase for more devices and rooms, webhooks, and extra color schemes, snap effects, sound sets, and app icons. Pointing recognition runs on the watch, with model backups sent to your paired iPhone. No Maestro account is required. The app has no advertising or analytics SDKs. If you send a support report, we receive your message and any diagnostics you include. Details: https://maestrosnap.com/privacy.html Requires Apple Watch Series 5 or later, including SE and Ultra. Open Maestro on the watch to use gestures. Recognition can miss, especially during initial setup.
