iOS

Overview

This is the native companion app for Home Assistant, the self-hosted smart-home platform — CarPlay controls, Apple Watch complications, home-screen widgets, and background location updates for presence detection, all talking to a Home Assistant instance you run yourself rather than a vendor's cloud. That's the whole appeal of the Home Assistant ecosystem in one app: your automations and device data never have to leave your network unless you choose to expose them.

For anyone already committed to self-hosted home automation, it's essentially the only iOS client worth using.
