Controller for HomeKit

Controller for HomeKit builds dashboards, automations and histories for supported smart-home devices.

Our take

Consider after testing noncritical accessories and backup recovery

Workflows, states and floorplans connect several home-control tasks.

Keep in mind: Charts/States require Controller Hub on a dedicated eligible device; LiDAR scanning needs hardware support. AI-generated automations can be wrong and should not control critical safety functions unreviewed.

What you can do

  • Arrange supported dashboard tiles
  • Create conditional workflows/scenes
  • Inspect entitled logs/charts or save setup backups

Good for

  • HomeKit/Matter owners verifying exact accessories

Consider alternatives for

  • Users expecting every device supported or cloud-free AI by default

Limitations & considerations

  • Captured minimum: iOS 17.0.
  • Charts/States require Controller Hub on a dedicated eligible device; LiDAR scanning needs hardware support. AI-generated automations can be wrong and should not control critical safety functions unreviewed.

Privacy & permissions

Home layouts, setup codes, sensor histories and household access are sensitive; review AI inputs and shared-user permissions.
