Your home at your?command.

With the Home app, you can easily and securely control your HomeKit accessories from all your Apple devices.

Get your house in order. Room?by?room.

The Home app groups accessories by room, so you can easily control devices in any part of your house with a tap or a click. You can press an icon to perform more complex tasks like dimming the lights or adjusting the thermostat. And you can add your AirPlay?2–enabled?TV¹ to the Home app and control it like any other accessory — turn it
on and off, change the volume, and switch?inputs.

Keep an eye on your?home.
And?keep other eyes?out.

Footage from home security cameras contains your most personal and sensitive data. With?HomeKit Secure?Video, activity detected by supported cameras is privately analyzed by your home hub using on‑device intelligence to determine if people, pets, or cars are present. When important activity is detected, you and anyone you share your Home?app with will receive a rich notification that lets you view the clip right from the Lock?Screen. Recorded video is available to view for ten days from the Home app. It’s securely stored for free in supported iCloud accounts and doesn’t count against your storage limit.² Leading camera manufacturers like Eufy, Logitech, and Netatmo have announced support for HomeKit?Secure?Video.

HomeKit routers make your home

as secure as it is?smart.

Smart home accessories that connect to the internet can be vulnerable to?attack. That’s why HomeKit‑enabled routers are available as a foundational layer of security for your smart home. HomeKit?routers can firewall off each of your accessories so even if one were to be compromised, it wouldn’t be able to access your other devices or personal information. You can use the Home?app to control which services your HomeKit?accessories can communicate with in your network and on the?internet. Leading manufacturers like Eero, Linksys, and Charter?Spectrum have announced support for HomeKit‑enabled?routers.

Set several things
in motion with a tap. Or?your?voice.

Home allows you to set scenes, which enable multiple accessories to work in
combination — all with a single command. So you can create a scene named “Leaving?Home” that turns off the lights, locks your doors, and lowers the thermostat. Or a scene called “Movie?Night” that turns on
your AirPlay?2–enabled?TV, lowers the shades, and dims the?lights.

Good?Morning

Greet the day with a custom scene that warms up your house, opens?the blinds, and fires up the coffee?maker.

Arrive?Home

Prep your home for your arrival with a scene that opens the garage, unlocks your door, and turns on the?lights.

Good?Night

When you’re ready to turn in, a custom scene can turn off the lights, lower the thermostat, and secure the?doors.

Control your house?from just about?anywhere.

Using the Home app, you can access all of your home’s smart accessories remotely through Apple TV or iPad.³ You?can do things like shut your garage door, view live camera video of the doorway, or even ask Siri to lower the thermostat — anything you normally do while using the Home app at?home.
