Dashboard vs disquette

Turn a wall-mounted iPad into a control panel for Apple Home. Cameras, heating, lights, blinds, locks, solar power and the calendar on one screen – glass tiles arranged the way you want. CUSTOM LAYOUT (PREMIUM) • Press and drag any tile anywhere; resize it with the corner handle and give it a color tint. • The same device can have more than one tile, say on a day page and an evening page, and any tile can be renamed. AUTOMATIONS (PREMIUM) “When the battery drops below 20%, turn on the outlet.” Build the trigger, conditions, actions and days in the app; the automation is saved to HomeKit and runs on your home hub even when Dashboard is closed. CAMERAS • RTSP cameras outside HomeKit: enter the stream address or let the app find it (ONVIF); live video full screen, with sound. H.264 and H.265: Hikvision, Dahua, Reolink, UniFi, Tapo, Synology. • HomeKit cameras: refreshing snapshots, one Live button for all, listen and talk back in detail. • All cameras in one tile if you like. • Doorbell: a ring wakes the panel and opens its camera full screen beside your locks. • RTSP time-lapse up to 12 hours, saved to Photos (Premium). • Two cameras free. YOUR HOME • Thermostats and air conditioners: target temperature in 0.5° steps and heating or cooling mode. Thermometers in °C or °F, also as a large number (2 each free). • Lights, switches, outlets and fans, Home app groups too (4 free): drag across the tile for brightness, color and white temperature in a bubble (Premium). • Blinds and shades: position and slat tilt, Matter bridges too – KNX/1Home (4 free). • Locks, gates and garage doors; Nuki and tedee can open the door on a long press (4 free). • Security: windows and doors as one item (4 free); alarm with no limit. • Sensors: humidity, water leak, smoke, CO, light level, motion, air quality (4 free). • Robot vacuums behind a bridge: start, suction and battery (2 free). One-tap scenes (2 free). • Solar: production, consumption, grid draw, feed-in and battery. • Weather for 6 days; with Premium, today hour by hour. 3D FLOOR PLAN (PREMIUM) Upload a render of your home, place devices on it and tap the plan to control them. MUSIC, PODCASTS AND CAR (PREMIUM) Apple Music with your playlists and albums, podcasts from Apple’s directory, played from the panel or via AirPlay to a HomePod. The status of a Skoda from the MyŠkoda app – charge, range, locks, climate; start charging or the air conditioning with a tap. CALENDAR AND NOTES The next event in large type with a countdown, the following days below. Wall notes like “home at 5” written on iPhone show up on iPad (Premium). DISPLAY On iPad the screen dims when idle and wakes on touch, the front camera, a motion sensor or a scene. With Premium a screen saver takes over: clock, temperature, weather, calendar and a camera, even over your photos. BACKUP Settings via iCloud to another device; with Premium as a file. PREMIUM (SUBSCRIPTION OR ONE-TIME) Unlocks custom layouts, separate for iPad and iPhone, automations, notes, the 3D floor plan, Apple Music (needs its subscription), podcasts, the car, light colors, hourly weather, time-lapse, Shortcuts, the screen saver and file backup, and removes count limits. Try Premium free for a week; a yearly subscription then starts and renews automatically and can be canceled any time in Apple Account settings. Or buy it once and keep it forever. PRIVACY No data collected, no accounts. Everything stays on your device and in your iCloud; camera video stays on your network. Only the weather is fetched, anonymously, plus a daily check for a new version, a connection to the Skoda Auto server for the car and Apple’s directory for podcasts. In 22 languages. Requires iOS 17 or later. Controlling devices needs an Apple Home; RTSP cameras work without one.

Disquettes remind what the Home app forgets: the configuration codes. Disquette is the HomeKit companion for setting up home automation. Every HomeKit accessory has a pairing code. It is printed on a sticker you peel off and lose, or on the box you recycle. Then one day you have to reconfigure a light after a network change, or set up a bridge on a new phone, and the code is gone. You find yourself on a ladder with a flashlight, peeling the device off the wall to read a faded label two years ago. Disquette solves the problem. It reads your Apple Home and provides you with a complete and searchable inventory of your home automation configuration: every house, room, and accessory, with the details that identify each device — manufacturer, model, serial number, and firmware. It allows you to save each person’s configuration code, entered by hand or captured by the QR code, with an optional note. What you get: - Browse every house, room and accessory known by HomeKit - Manufacturer, model, serial number and firmware for each device - Scan a configuration QR code or enter the code - Keep a note together with each code - Search everything and group by room, type of device or presence of saved code - Filter devices still in HomeKit compared to those removed - Copy any code saved with a touch - App Intents The labels fade. The boxes are recycled. Keep the documentation of your home automation configuration in a place that won’t do it. Terms of service https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
