HomeForge

The automations your Home app can't do.

HomeForge links devices, combines triggers and watches the health of every automation, right on top of the Home you already have.

Coming soon to the App Store Works on iPhone, iPad and Mac.

HomeForge's automation list for a home called Maple Street: device-sync, button-toggle and button-cycle automations, each with a health indicator

The Automation Map, showing which devices trigger automations and which devices are controlled

The Devices tab, grouped by room, showing what each device triggers and responds to

The Batteries tab, listing every battery by room with one device flagged as critically low

The New Rule screen asking what triggers the automation: arriving home, leaving home, a sensor, a device change or a button press

The Testing screen, with built-in tests for each kind of automation

Link devices

Keep two or more switches, locks, dimmers or fans in sync. Mirror them (on follows on) or invert them (on turns the other off), one way or both ways.

Combine triggers

Run an action when any of several devices changes, or only when all of them reach the states you choose. Act on a device or run a scene, and limit it to sunrise or sunset, a time window, or certain weekdays.

Sensors that behave

Temperature, humidity, light-level and air-quality thresholds with a gap between "on" and "off" so things don't cycle, plus motion, contact and occupancy sensors.

Buttons, done properly

One button toggles a light on and off, or cycles a dimmer through brightness levels with repeated presses.

Arrive and leave

Run an action when you arrive home or leave, using a location you pick on a map.

Know it still works

Every automation shows its health. HomeForge notices when a device or part of an automation has gone missing, can repair it, and finds automations in your Home that nothing is tracking. A Map shows which devices trigger and which are controlled, a Devices tab shows each device's automations and how quickly it responds, a Batteries tab lists every battery, and a built-in test tool checks that automations actually do what you expect.
