Home Sync Assistant vs RoomSync for Home Assistant

Home Sync Assistant keeps your smart home telling the same story in two places. It compares the rooms, names and placement in your home app with the areas, names and placement in Home Assistant, then copies your choice from one side to the other. You pick the direction every time. Every sync starts as a preview that lists each change, and nothing is written until you apply it, so a rename or a move never happens by surprise. WHAT IT SYNCS - Rooms and areas: create the ones that exist on only one side - Placement: put each accessory in the matching room - Names: give each accessory the same name on both sides MORE THAN ONE HOME, MORE THAN ONE SERVER Add every Home Assistant you run, browse what each one exposes, grouped by area and searchable by name or entity ID, and choose which pair to sync each time. Your setup follows you: servers and choices are shared through your account, and access tokens through your keychain. A LOCAL API, IF YOU WANT ONE Turn on a small HTTP server and read or change your home from your own scripts, shortcuts and automations, without this app in the loop. BEFORE YOU START Your accessories must reach your home app through the Home Assistant bridge integration. That is what pairs the two sides: it writes each entity ID into the accessory, and this app matches on it. Anything that arrives another way is listed, skipped and left untouched.

Added your Home Assistant devices to Apple Home and they all landed in the same room? HomeKit doesn't know which room a bridged accessory belongs to, and Apple Home makes you move them one by one. RoomSync reads your Home Assistant areas and puts every Apple Home accessory in the room with the same name. One direction, no surprises: Home Assistant is the source of truth and the app never changes anything in HA. • Preview before applying: which rooms get created, renamed, and which accessories move. • Automatic backup before every change, with one-tap restore. • Recognizes HomeKit Bridge accessories by identity, not by name. Everything else is paired once, by hand. • Home screen with the state of every room: in sync, to move, to create. • Bulk move: select several accessories, from HA or not, and send them to a room together. • Home Assistant and Apple Home inventories as tiles, with icons per accessory type. • Sign in to your own Home Assistant from the app; the token is stored encrypted on the iPhone and never leaves it. • No accounts, no analytics: the app only talks to your Home Assistant and, if you write to the developer, to them. Free: preview, room mapping, backups, diagnostics and organizing 5 complete rooms, bulk move included; the rooms you organize stay free. A single one-time purchase unlocks all rooms, bulk move to any room and full room cleanup. No required subscription; monthly support is optional: it adds alternate app icons and, with Support+, the app's color, but unlocks no features. Requires Home Assistant with the HomeKit Bridge integration (or accessories already paired in Apple Home) and an iPhone on the same network.
