It sees your whole home. Now it runs it.
Smart Home Life puts Apple Home, Google Home and Philips Hue in one app on your iPhone, iPad and iPhone Duo.
Control your devices where you see them.
Smart Home Life reads Apple Home, Google Home, Philips Hue, Thread and Matter, and controls Apple Home and Hue devices without switching apps.
- Lights and scenes. Switch and dim lights, and run scenes with one tap.
- Locks and garage, behind Face ID. The app asks first, and you can turn it off.
- Climate. Change an Apple Home thermostat right on its tile.
- One list, each device once. Matched across platforms by room, kind and name.
Apple Home is free. Google Home, the Philips Hue Bridge and the merged list come with Smart Home Life Pro, a one-time purchase you can try free for 14 days.
Turn an iPad into a wall panel.
Console shows your home as tiles you arrange, keeps the screen awake on the wall, and dims to a clock when it sits idle.
Arranging tiles, wall mode, the night clock and the live tiles (cameras, vehicle, energy) come with Smart Home Life Pro, a one-time purchase.

On the wall
At night
Send your cleaner one link that works from 9 am to 1 pm.
- Pick the window. The link and its light buttons work only between the start and end you set.
- Pick what they get. Up to 12 Philips Hue lights and plugs to switch on and off, and a line that says how they get in: a code you set on your own lock, an Apple Home guest invite, or you at the door.
- Send the link. It opens in any phone's browser, with no app and no account for your guest.
Guest Access shares lights and plugs through your Philips Hue Bridge and Hue account. It does not unlock a door or change your lock: a door code is one you set in your lock's own app. Apple does not let apps share Apple Home devices. Making passes comes with Smart Home Life Pro, a one-time purchase.

Questions before you download.
Does Smart Home Life replace Apple Home or Google Home?
No, Smart Home Life does not replace Apple Home or Google Home: your devices stay set up in the platform that owns them, and the app reads and controls them through each platform's own connection. Camera, notification and presence automations are still built in Apple Home, so you keep those apps.
Do I need an account?
No, Smart Home Life has no account and no sign-in; if you use Guest Access, our server gives your home a random ID. The only sign-ins are for other companies' services you choose to connect, such as Google, Philips Hue, Tesla, Flo by Moen, a SmartHub utility or Apple Music. Your Philips Hue, Flo by Moen and utility connections and your settings sync to your other devices through your own iCloud Keychain, while Google Home, Sonos, Tesla and the Tesla Wall Connector are connected again on each device. A purchase works on any iPhone, iPad or iPhone Duo signed in with the same Apple Account.
Does Smart Home Life work without internet?
Partly: on your home network Smart Home Life still controls Apple Home, Philips Hue and Sonos devices, reads a Tesla Wall Connector and runs its network, Bluetooth and Thread scans, but Google Home, Flo by Moen, Tesla vehicles, weather and Guest Access need the internet. Away from home, controlling Apple Home devices and running scheduled scenes depend on an Apple home hub such as a HomePod or Apple TV.
Is there an Android version?
No, there is no Android version of Smart Home Life; it is made for iPhone, iPad and iPhone Duo, available on the App Store, and it needs iOS or iPadOS 17.0 or later to run, or iOS 27.1 or later on iPhone Duo. There is no Apple Watch app either.
