Controller 7.4
Introducing Controller Hub: Apple Home Automations as they should be.
Controller for HomeKit Version 7.4 introduces Controller Hub. This update transforms Workflows into automated processes that go far beyond standard Apple Home automations, with advanced triggers and powerful new actions.
Highlights
- Controller Hub: Transform an iPhone or iPad into a hub so Workflows run automatically instead of relying on manual execution.
- New Triggers: Automate Workflows with triggers like webhooks (URLs), accessory state changes or Shortcuts for seamless integration.
- More Actions: Take automation further with delays, notifications, reading/restoring device states and HTTP requests.
- Stop Events: Define precise conditions to automatically terminate workflows for smarter control and efficiency.
Workflows Reimagined with Controller Hub
With Controller Hub, Workflows evolve into a core part of advanced automation. Whether reacting to real-time changes at home, triggering flows through webhooks or running complex step sequences, workflows become more flexible and intelligent.
Combined with advanced triggers and stop events, workflows can now manage complex scenarios reliably. For example, a window can trigger a reminder when left open too long, lights can switch off with a safety delay and irrigation can be prepared with weather checks.
Any iPhone or iPad can become a hub with Controller Hub. This makes it easy to repurpose existing devices and run automations continuously in the background.
This Is Only the Beginning
Even as a Lab feature, Controller Hub already solves many challenges that standard Apple Home automations cannot address. We are actively working on additional triggers and actions to make Controller Hub even more versatile.
