Home State
State engine for house presence and music zones in Homey
Home Control
Home Control provides intelligent and automatic management of both your home state and your music zones – combined in one stable solution.
The app keeps track of whether you are home, away, have guests, or are sleeping, and uses this information to create a logical and consistent experience in your home.
You avoid complex flows and manual adjustments – the system adapts automatically to your daily routines.
Music zones can be linked to the home state and respond automatically. Music can start, stop, or change scene depending on what is happening in the home.
At the same time, each zone can take presence into account, so music only plays where it makes sense.
You still have full control. Both the home state and music zones can be overridden manually, either temporarily or permanently, whenever needed.
The app is designed to be stable and predictable, helping you avoid unnecessary switching and ensuring a solution that works reliably in everyday use.
