New Products

▤ Summary

Couch Control for HomeKit & HA is a new Apple TV app that turns the television into a customizable smart-home dashboard, available now for a one-time €8.99 and requiring tvOS 18.1 or later. The app, developed by Lucas Franz, displays HomeKit and Home Assistant devices side-by-side using a 7-column grid with widgets for devices, sensors, charts, camera streams, media, calendar and weather. It emphasizes local connections (HomeKit via Apple's native interface and Home Assistant via WebSocket and long-lived tokens), claims no data collection or cloud account, and supports theme customization plus import/export of pages. The developer recently added chart widgets, theme import/export and weather widgets in version 2.2, is gathering community feedback on bugs and UX, and is working on an iPad version to simplify dashboard creation and sharing.
