The latest release of Controller for HomeKit, Version 7.2, brings a wealth of features that tap into iOS 18’s new capabilities. Focusing on enhancing smart home control, this update introduces key functions designed to simplify and streamline user interactions with HomeKit.
New Control Center Widgets for Easy Access
Control Center Widget support is one of the standout additions in Controller for HomeKit 7.2. These new widgets let users launch Workflows, open Floor Plans, or access the TV Remote directly from the Control Center. This convenient integration allows users to quickly manage key smart home actions with just a swipe, bringing essential controls closer and making navigation faster.
Expanded TV Controls
Controller for HomeKit 7.2 also brings robust support for television controls. Users can adjust the volume, switch input sources, and modify TV settings right from the app. This feature aims to simplify entertainment management, allowing users to control their TV systems seamlessly without toggling between multiple apps.
Improved Control Elements for Better User Experience
The update includes newly optimized control elements for a smoother, more intuitive experience when managing devices such as switches and lights. These controls offer quicker response times and are designed to simplify HomeKit interactions, making the app feel more responsive and user-friendly.
Introducing Virtual Switches
A significant feature in this update is Virtual Switches, which serve as digital versions of programmable physical switches. These virtual switches enable users to activate actions or manage automation directly within the app. By not relying solely on physical switches, users gain greater flexibility and control over their HomeKit devices, enhancing the possibilities for customization and automation.
Redesigned Workflows for Advanced Automation
Controller for HomeKit 7.2 includes a reimagined interface for Workflows, bringing more powerful options for creating and managing automation. These Workflows go beyond standard HomeKit automation, enabling users to transfer values between devices and adjust properties across multiple devices simultaneously. This flexibility supports more complex and tailored automation scenarios, allowing users to customize smart home interactions to better fit their needs.
New Dark and Tinted App Icons
In keeping with iOS 18’s updated design language, Controller for HomeKit now offers dark and tinted app icons. These icons are designed to look seamless in iOS’s Dark Mode, providing a visually cohesive experience across the system.
Wrap-Up
Controller for HomeKit Version 7.2 takes full advantage of iOS 18’s advancements to offer a more refined and capable HomeKit experience. With the addition of Control Center Widgets, enhanced television controls, virtual switches, and revamped Workflows, users can expect a more efficient and personalized smart home experience.
