About Home
Easily and securely control your smart home using your iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, HomePod, Apple TV and Mac.
Features
Home tab makes it easier to navigate, organise, view and control all your smart home accessories.
Categories for climate, lights, security, speakers and TVs, and water allow for quick access to all the accessories for that specific category.
A multi-camera view displays up to four cameras in the Home tab and you can scroll to see any additional cameras.
Grid Forecast uses live data from your local electric grid to show when it’s running on cleaner sources so you can plan when to charge devices or run appliances. (Contiguous US Only)
Activity History lets you see a recent history for garage door, door lock, security systems and contact sensor events*
Siri makes it easy to use your voice to control accessories. Say a phrase like “Lock the front door” or “Play jazz in the living room”, or create a scene and say “Good night” to turn off all your lights.
Widgets on iPhone and iPad give you the ability to see the status of your home and access relevant accessories.
Control Centre gives you quick access to control your favourite accessories and scenes.
Home app on Apple Watch displays accessories youll most likely need at the top for immediate access and then all accessories in favourites, cameras and rooms.
HomePod or other AirPlay-enabled speakers can be added in the Home app to control your smart home and play music in any room in your house.
HomePod and Apple TV act as a home hub to manage your home while you’re away. Automatically run scenes and control accessories based on your location, the time of day, a sensor detection or the action of an accessory.
HomeKit Secure Video** lets you view live video and recordings as well as get rich notifications when people, pets, vehicles or parcel deliveries are detected from your security cameras or video doorbell. View a 10-day recording history in the Home app, and you can share or save recordings.
Adaptive lighting** lets you set compatible light globes to automatically adjust their colour temperature throughout the day to help maximise comfort and productivity. Wake up in the morning to warm colours, stay alert at midday with cooler tones, and wind down at night by removing blue light.
Accessories compatible with the Matter smart home connectivity standard are supported seamlessly in the Home app alongside your HomeKit-enabled accessories, so you can control them easily and securely using the Home app and Siri on your Apple devices.
