Dashboard: Smart Home & RTSP

Turn a wall-mounted iPad into a control panel for Apple Home. Cameras, heating, lights, blinds, locks, solar power and the calendar on one screen — arranged the way you want.

FREE LAYOUT • Press and drag a tile anywhere. Every device on its own — two thermostats no longer have to sit side by side. • Resize with the corner handle; contents scale with it. • iPad has pages you swipe, iPhone one scrolling screen. • A clock with the date as a tile of its own.

CAMERAS • RTSP cameras outside HomeKit: standalone ones that never reach Apple Home. Enter the stream address and the tile shows live video, with audio over G.711 or AAC. H.264 and H.265: Hikvision, Dahua, Reolink, UniFi, Axis, Tapo, VIGI, Synology. • Find cameras on the network: ONVIF reveals the address, others are probed for usual paths. • HomeKit cameras: refreshing snapshots, a Live button switches them all to live video, listen and talk back in detail. • Doorbell like on Apple TV: a ring wakes the panel, opens the doorbell camera full screen and adds a column of locks and gates. • Time-lapse from an RTSP camera, up to 12 hours, a video in Photos (Premium). • Two cameras free, HomeKit and RTSP together.

YOUR HOME • Thermostats: current and target temperature in half-degree steps; thermometers in °C or °F (2 each free). • Lights and switches: brightness with a slider on the tile, colour and white temperature in a panel (Premium). A group from the Home app as one tile (4 free). • Blinds and shades: position and slat tilt to the percent, Matter bridges too — KNX/1Home (4 free). • Security: windows, doors, gates and contacts as one item reading Open / All closed (4 free). Alarm with Home / Away / Night / Off, no limit. • Sensors: humidity, water leak, smoke, CO, light level and motion (4 free). • Air quality: the rating in words plus measured CO₂ in ppm, particulates and volatile compounds in µg/m³. • Scenes with one tap; the active one stays highlighted (2 free). • Weather: a 6-day forecast and an hourly view of the day.

SOLAR POWER Apple Home has no type for solar panels, but most inverters reach it as a light sensor through a bridge. Pick the unit (W, kW, %) and an icon — production, consumption, grid draw, feed-in, battery.

LOCKS AND GATES Door locks, gates and garage doors (4 free). A tap opens a menu: lock and unlock as separate actions, open and close for gates. Nuki and tedee locks can open the door on a long press.

3D FLOOR PLAN (PREMIUM) Upload a render of your home, place devices on it and control them by tapping the plan. Each floor gets its own tile, so two can sit side by side.

MUSIC (PREMIUM) Apple Music player: playlists, recently played and recommendations. Choose the output through AirPlay. Needs an Apple Music subscription.

CALENDAR A weekly view of a shared calendar (three days on iPhone), the next event highlighted, countdowns to important days.

24/7 DISPLAY AND LOOKS The screen dims after a while and wakes on touch, the front camera or motion sensor. Light and dark mode follow the iPad; background and colours are yours.

BACKUP Configuration goes to iCloud and loads on another device with the same account; with Premium as a file.

PREMIUM (YEARLY SUBSCRIPTION) Unlocks the 3D floor plan, music, light colours, time-lapse, Shortcuts, separate layouts for iPad and iPhone and file backup, and removes count limits. The free version stays free for good, only with limits. Try Premium free for a week; a yearly subscription then starts and renews automatically. Cancel any time in Apple Account settings.

PRIVACY No data collected, no accounts, no sign-up. Everything stays on your device and camera video travels over your own network. Only the weather is fetched, anonymously.

In 16 languages. Requires iOS 17 or later. Controlling devices needs an Apple Home; RTSP cameras work without one. Made for iPad in landscape.
