Hey Product Hunt 👋

I built HomeDeck to turn Apple TV into a dedicated dashboard for an Apple Home smart home. It brings rooms, accessories, scenes, sensors, climate information, security systems, and compatible cameras together on the biggest screen in the house. When nobody is interacting with it, HomeDeck transitions into Ambient Mode.

We’re currently looking for TestFlight participants with a configured Apple Home and an Apple TV running tvOS 26 or later.

I’d especially appreciate feedback on device compatibility, navigation, connection stability, camera support, and Ambient Mode. If you try it, please share what works well—and what breaks.

HomeDesk for iPad is now available on TestFlight! Try it out and share your feedback with us.

@naimeolcayaocy Per-room layouts and per-user ordering make a lot of sense, especially for larger homes where the default room order gets noisy fast. That is not in the current TestFlight, but it is a strong direction for personalization. Thank you for testing the room switching and camera tiles. Glad the Ambient Mode handoff feels natural on the TV surface.

HomeDeck для HomeKit 1.0 (32) is ready to test on tvOS/iPad


Test in this build:

- °C / °F switching across the dashboard, rooms, and sensors;

- full interface localization in all supported languages;

- sorting scenes, devices, and sensors on the Home Screen;

- Favorites editing: press and hold a card on Apple TV to move or remove it; use arrows and Delete on iPad.

We are trying to keep HomeDeck fast from across the room, not turn it into a dense control panel. What would you want on the first screen every time: favorites, room overview, cameras, or scenes? Curious what matters most in a real living-room setup.

Your testflight link isn’t working. Says beta not found?
