Home app

The foundation

for a smarter home.

The Home app seamlessly brings your entire smart home together, giving you control across all your Apple devices and compatible third-party accessories.¹ Managing your smart home is more convenient than ever.

A truly welcoming experience.

Categories like Lights, Security, and Climate are at the top of the Home tab, giving you instant access to accessories and their status.

Automate your smart accessories² around the time of day, your location, or from sensor data. And create scenes that automate and control multiple accessories at once.

Monitor multiple video feeds at once, quickly find important security footage, and receive immediate activity notifications.

Rooms and Favorite Accessories are grouped in the Home tab, so you can easily view and control your smart devices.

With the Home app you can get more information at a glance, manage your smart home accessories², get details on what’s happening even without watching video, and easily search for clips.

Apple Intelligence helps summarize activity from HomeKit Secure Video cameras and allows you to search for specific clips based on key moments.³

You can also use Adaptive Lighting to sync your lights with the sunrise. And hands-free unlock with home key means you can access your home effortlessly.⁴

Everything connected
and under one roof.

Your Apple devices become a smarter home control center that lets you monitor your home while you’re away, automate temperature, lighting, and more. And you can control everything with just your voice. The Home app also supports Matter-enabled accessories, the cross-platform industry standard that lets you connect all your smart home accessories.²
