HomeControl Menu for HomeKit
macOS / Utilitaires
HomeControl is the ultimate HomeKit companion on macOS. Manage and automate your smart home directly from the menu bar: check your home’s status, trigger scenes, adjust devices, or switch between multiple homes with a single click.
HomeControl supports controlling and automating the following HomeKit areas:
• Scenes: HomeControl supports triggering and showing the state of each scene and also auto-detects the scene type and choses an appropriate icon for it.
• Devices and Device Groups: HomeControl can control all devices that can be activated and deactivated (like outlets, lightbulbs, switches, thermostats…). You can quickly see their state from the HomeControl menu and change it. HomeControl also supports changing device properties like light brightness and color, thermostat mode and temperature or blinds position.
• Homes: If you have added multiple homes to HomeKit, HomeControl can show a home picker to quickly change your primary home. HomeControl always shows scenes and devices from your current primary home.
HomeControl also includes the concept of Smart Groups to quickly control all the devices of a room from the menu (for example, activate all lightbulbs of a room or deactivate all its devices) and supports showing measurements or detections from sensors available in your HomeKit setup.
All the items can be configured to be hidden on the menu, shown in a submenu or invoked by a global keyboard shortcut.
HomeControl also includes full automation support for all the actions available in the app (triggering scenes, switching a device or device group status, changing the primary home and also changing device properties!) with “x-callback-url”-compatible automation URLs which can be easily invoked from AppleScript, Terminal, custom scripts and other apps.
HomeControl requires an active paid plan to use the following features:
• HomeControl Ultra: Run Home Actions and Customize Home Items (Hide & Move to Submenu), Keyboard Shortcuts, Automation URLs, and Family Sharing. HomeControl Ultra is available as a lifetime one-time purchase or as a yearly subscription.
Notes:
• HomeControl can detect and control the status of all HomeKit devices that can be activated and deactivated: outlets, lightbulbs, switches, thermostats, fans, air purifiers, heaters, dehumidifiers, windows, window coverings, faucets, valves, irrigation systems, doors, garage door openers and locks!
• HomeControl supports reading and showing measurements or detections from the following types of sensors: temperature, humidity, air quality, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, contact, smoke, leak, motion, light and occupancy sensors.
• HomeControl supports changing and reading the following device properties: light brightness, light hue, light saturation, light color temperature, thermostat mode (auto, cool, heat or off), thermostat target temperature, heater-cooler mode, cooling threshold temperature, heating threshold temperature, fan rotation speed and door, window, blinds or shades position.
• You can quickly copy the automation URL of any item right-clicking it on the “Customize Items” section of the HomeControl preferences pane. There are also examples for using them from AppleScript and Terminal on the “Automation” section of the preferences pane.
• All automation URLs include an Authentication Token to verify that requests are sent from a trusted source. The Authentication Token can be regenerated at any time in the “Automation” section of the preferences pane and doing it will invalidate all previous automation URLs.
• HomeControl cannot currently control AirPlay devices (like TVs, Apple TVs or HomePods) as they are not exposed through HomeKit to third party apps.
• HomeControl cannot detect the status of scenes that do not include HomeKit actions, like scenes that only control AirPlay devices (like Apple TV or HomePods) or devices that have already been removed.
