Home
Home overview
Home provides a secure way to control and automate HomeKit-enabled accessories,
such as lights, locks, thermostats, window shades, smart plugs, cameras, and more. With
Home, you can control any “Works with Apple HomeKit” accessory using iPad.
After you set up your home and its rooms, you can control accessories individually, or use
scenes to control multiple accessories with one command. For example, you might create
a scene called “going to bed” that turns off the lights around the house, dims the lights in
the room “master bedroom” to 30 percent, then locks the front door and lowers the
thermostat.
If you have an Apple TV (4th generation or later), HomePod, or iPad (with iOS 10.3 or
later) that you leave at home, you can schedule scenes to run automatically at certain
times, or when you activate a particular accessory (for example, when you unlock the
front door). This also allows you, and others you invite, to securely control your home
while youʼre away.
Add and control accessories
The first time you open the Home app, the setup assistant helps you create a home,
where you can add accessories and define rooms. If you already created a home using
another HomeKit-enabled app, youʼll skip this step.
Add an accessory to your home. To add an accessory to Home, make sure the
accessory is turned on, tap , tap Add Accessory, then follow the onscreen instructions.
You may need to scan or enter an 8-digit HomeKit setup code found on the accessory
itself (or its box or documentation). You can assign the accessory to a room, as well as
give it a name. The name defines how itʼs shown in the Home app, and also how you
control it using Siri.
Control an accessory. Tap an accessoryʼs button to quickly turn it on or off, or touch and
hold the button until controls appear. The available controls depend on the type of
accessory it is. For example, with some lightbulbs, you can change colors. You can also
control accessories using .
Change HomePod settings with the Home app.
Touch and hold the HomePod button, then tap Alarms to see the alarms youʼve
created.
Touch and hold the HomePod button, tap Details, then configure the HomePod
settings—for example, assign HomePod to a different room, rename HomePod, or
turn on accessibility features.
Assign an accessory to a room. Tap Rooms, tap , then choose the room the
accessory is currently assigned to. (If itʼs not already assigned, look in Default Room.)
Touch and hold the accessoryʼs button until its controls appear, then tap Details. Tap
Location to assign it to a room.
Rename or edit an accessory. Touch and hold the accessoryʼs button until its controls
appear, then tap Details.
Edit a room. Tap , tap Room Settings, then choose the room to edit. You can change
the roomʼs name, wallpaper, or delete the room.
Make an accessory a favorite. Touch and hold an accessoryʼs button until its controls
appear, then tap Details. Then turn on “Included in Favorites.” You can access your
favorite accessories from the Home tab.
Change an accessoryʼs icon. Touch and hold an accessoryʼs button until its controls
appear, then tap Details. Tap the icon (next to its name) to select a new icon. Not all icons
can be changed, but you can change them for lighting accessories, for example.
Rearrange your favorites. Tap Edit, then drag the buttons into the arrangement you
want.
Add more homes. Tap , then tap Add Home. After you add another home, tap to
choose the one you want to view or control.
Control Center
Create and use scenes
Scenes allow you to control multiple accessories at once. For example, you might define
a “Reading” scene that adjusts the lights, closes the drapes, and adjusts the thermostat.
Home has some typical scenes already defined for you, but youʼll need to edit them
before theyʼll work.
Create a scene. Tap , enter a name for the scene (such as “Dinner Party” or
“Watching TV”), then tap Add Accessories. Select the accessories you want this scene to
control, then tap Done. Next, set each accessory to change it to the state you want it to
be when the scene is run. For example, you can set up a scene that turns on lights in the
bedroom, and turns off the kitchen lights, when youʼre going to bed.
Run a scene. Tap a scene to run it. If you donʼt see the scene you want to run, look in a
different room.
Change a scene. Touch and hold a scene, then tap Details.
Make a scene a favorite. Touch and hold a scene, tap Details, then tap Show in
Favorites. Favorite scenes appear on the Home tab and are handy for scenes that arenʼt
automated.
Control your home using Siri
You can use Siri to control your accessories and scenes. Here are some of the things you
might be able to say to Siri, depending on your accessories, how youʼve named them, and
the scenes youʼve created:
“Turn off the lights” or “Turn on the lights”
“Dim the lights” or “Set brightness to 55%”
“Is the hallway light on?”
“Set the temperature to 68 degrees”
“Did I lock the front door?”
“Close the garage door”
“Show me the entryway camera”
“What is the air quality indoors?”
If you set up rooms, scenes, or more than one home, you can say things like:
“Iʼm home” or “Iʼm leaving”
“Turn down the kitchen lights”
“Turn on the fan in the office”
“Set my reading scene”
“Turn off the lights in the Chicago house”
Automations and remote access
If you have an Apple TV (4th generation or later) or HomePod, or if you set up an iPad
(with iOS 10.3 or later) that you leave at home, you can use automations and remote
access. Automations can run scenes automatically based on the time of day, your
location, a sensor being activated, or the action of an accessory. The Apple TV,
HomePod, or iPad acts as a home hub, which also allows remote access to your
accessories. Apple TV 3rd generation can also provide remote access, but doesʼt support
creating or editing automations using the Home app.
Use iPad for automations and remote access. Go to Settings > Home, then turn on
“Use this iPad as a Home Hub.” When iPad is in your home, it will run your Home
automations even when your iPhone or iPod touch is not present.
If you have an Apple TV and youʼre signed in using the same Apple ID as your iPad, it will
be paired automatically and enabled for automation.
Create an automation. Tap the Automation tab, tap Create New Automation, then
choose one of the automation triggers described below.
When arriving or leaving a location. Tap People Arrive or People Leave, then set a
geofence and specify if you want the trigger to occur when you arrive or leave the
location. You can also set this automation to only occur after sunset, which is useful for
turning on lights only when theyʼre needed.
At a time of day. Tap A Time of Day Occurs, then choose when you want this automation
to run. If you choose Sunset or Sunrise, the time will vary as the season changes.
When an accessory changes. Tap An Accessory is Controlled, select an accessory, then
tap Next and follow the onscreen instructions. You might use this, for example, to run a
scene when you unlock the front door.
A sensor detects something. Tap A Sensor Detects Something, select an accessory,
then tap Next and follow the onscreen instructions. You might use this, for example, to
turn on lights in a stairway when motion is detected nearby.
Disable an automation. In the Automations tab, tap the automation, then turn off Enable
This Automation.
Share control with others
You can invite others to control the accessories in your home. The people you invite need
to have iCloud set up. If you have an Apple TV (4th generation or later) or HomePod, or if
you configured an iPad (with iOS 10.3 or later) to be used as a home hub, additional
controls are available that let you set what guests are able to do.
Give others control. Tap , tap Home Settings, tap a home, tap Invite, then choose
people from your contacts list or enter their email addresses.
