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.

Scan with your iPhone camera
Home Hub on iPad: rooms in the sidebar, with the same devices, status tiles and scenes as on iPhone, plus the Entry and Garage devices.
Home Hub on iPhone: all 25 devices online with a Home Health of 96, status tiles for temperature, humidity, air quality, security, lights and water, the front door locked, a washer and dryer running, music playing in the living room, and scene buttons.

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.

Living Room on iPhone: four devices, 70 degrees, 44% humidity and one hub, a ceiling light on at 80% and a floor lamp off, each with its power button, a HomePod mini online and a thermostat heating to 72.

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.

In the app

Console on iPad inside the app: home status reading All good, the time and weather, a living room thermostat set to 72, four lights on, security all secure, music playing, four scene buttons, the energy rate, a locked front door, a ceiling light at 80% and a home map.

On the wall

Console in wall mode on iPad: the same board fills the whole screen with no sidebar, so the whole home map, the indoor climate and the tops of more tiles also show. Night and close buttons sit in the top corner.

At night

Console's night clock on iPad: 9:41 AM in large, dimmed type on a dark screen, with Saturday, Nov 14, 68 degrees and partly cloudy, the line All locked and quiet, and Tap or move to wake.

Send your cleaner one link that works from 9 am to 1 pm.

  1. Pick the window. The link and its light buttons work only between the start and end you set.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.

Guest Access on iPhone: a request from Jordan with Approve and Decline buttons, a pass for Alex marked active, one for the cleaning crew scheduled for Nov 17 from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM, an ended pass for the dog sitter, the line Hue guest control is on, and the home's request code with one request waiting.

Free tools for your Thread network, Wi-Fi and devices.

Thread Network map on iPhone: Home Thread with five routers, a kitchen Apple TV, a light strip, two HomePod minis and a smart plug, each joined by a link line to the device it serves, from a leak sensor to the front door lock. Below the map: filters for Thread 1.3 and 1.4, 11 measured connections, one device not placed, and a legend for good, fair, weak and router links.
The map draws only the connections your Matter devices report through Apple Home, on iOS 18 or later. A device that does not report them is listed as not placed, never guessed.
  • Thread Network. See which devices route your Thread network, and the weak spots.
  • Device Layers. Every device by protocol, from Thread to Bluetooth.
  • Bandwidth Check. Test your internet speed and what it means for cameras.
  • Provider Status. See if your internet provider's site is answering before you blame your router.
  • Home Map. Every room laid out at a glance, with its devices.
  • Room Planner. See which rooms have smart devices and where the gaps are.
  • Pair Vault. Scan and store pairing codes before a reset needs them.
  • Device Lifespan. Know which devices are aging out before they cause problems.

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.
