Revolutionizing Apple Home Control
To mark its seventh anniversary, Controller for HomeKit proudly announces the highly anticipated release of Version 7.0, introducing the groundbreaking Floor Plan feature for Apple Home users.
Highlights
Floor Plan: Effortless 3D home scanning with LiDAR for seamless Apple Home control and an unparalleled overview
Redesigned Main Screen: Instant access to Floor Plan, cameras, scenes, workflows and more
New Room Overview: Easy accessory management and control
Favorites: Quick access to the most important scenes and workflows
New Widget: Direct Floor Plan access from home screen
While Controller is known for its strengths in managing Apple Home, such as complex automations, backups, setup codes, smart folders, logs, and notifications, Version 7.0 sets new standards in user-friendliness. The redesigned main screen allows users to jump directly into rooms, execute scenes and workflows, and utilize the innovative new Floor Plan.
The new Floor Plan offers users a revolutionary way to quickly and easily scan their house or apartment and create an impressive 3D model. This 3D model can be enriched with buttons for direct device control, display of current sensor values, execution of scenes and workflows, as well as room navigation. This gives users a visual overview and allows them to intuitively control their Apple Home, such as turning lights on and off or checking the status of contact sensors.
As the world's first app, Controller for HomeKit offers Apple's RoomPlan for creating a Floor Plan for Apple Home. All data processing is done locally on the iPhone, and the transfer of the finished Floor Plan to other user devices is encrypted via Apple iCloud.
All users with a LiDAR-enabled device (iPhone 12 Pro, iPad Pro 11" from 3rd generation, or iPad Pro 12.9" from 5th generation) can test the new feature for free. Users who do not own a LiDAR-enabled device can use a new AppClip to create the Floor Plan on a friend's device, export it, and import it back to their own device.
We are excited to make this groundbreaking technology available to all Apple Home users and thank you for your trust over the past seven years.
