Home Assistant

Home Assistant Companion connects to an existing Home Assistant smart-home instance.

Our take

Consider for a setup you control and can secure

Widgets, automations and device sensors join several control surfaces.

Keep in mind: Requires a running instance and compatible integrations/hardware; brand lists do not guarantee every model. Remote access and locks/security demand careful configuration.

What you can do

  • Control eligible devices and scenes
  • Receive supported notifications/widgets
  • Share selected sensors/location or use voice/Shortcuts

Good for

  • Owners maintaining a compatible Home Assistant system

Consider alternatives for

  • Users expecting the app alone to control every device

Limitations & considerations

  • Captured minimum: iOS 16.4.
  • Requires a running instance and compatible integrations/hardware; brand lists do not guarantee every model. Remote access and locks/security demand careful configuration.

Privacy & permissions

Location, home occupancy and security controls are sensitive; local operation is available but cloud/integrations add separate data paths.
