HomeDeck turns Apple TV into a full-screen dashboard for Apple Home. Browse rooms, devices, scenes, sensors, climate information, security systems, and compatible cameras from the sofa. After inactivity, HomeDeck switches to Ambient Mode. HomeDeck is now live on the App Store for Apple TV and iPad. The TestFlight beta has ended, and the release version is available to buy and install.
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.
Been looking for something like this for a while. One thing that would make it even better for my setup: a customizable quick-action row at the top for my most-used scenes and lights, so I don't have to dig through rooms every evening.
@ferdivppa Great idea — we’ll add it to our list of future improvements. Send your idea https://homedesk.fider.io
Thanks, that is a very good suggestion. A customizable quick-action row for favorite scenes and lights would fit the living-room use case really well and reduce room-hopping. It is not in the current build yet, but it is exactly the kind of shortcut we want to test.
Would love to see a quick-access tile for the most-used scenes right on the home screen, maybe customizable order so I can jump to "Movie Night" or "Goodnight" without scrolling through rooms. Would make the whole thing feel much faster from the couch.
@tanerklnamvsz6 Thank you for the suggestion! We’ll consider adding customizable quick-access tiles for your most-used scenes on the home screen.
Finally something useful for the big screen in the living room. I love how quickly you can flip through rooms and tap a scene without unlocking your phone, and the camera tiles feel snappy on my Apple TV.
@aliye178259 Thank you! We’re glad the app makes home control easier.
@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. @aliye178259 Thank you for testing the room switching and camera tiles. @kcakaloglu33189 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.
