How to control lights and thermostats with Apple HomeView

Apple HomeView is built to make household controls easier to reach. Instead of opening your phone every time you want to turn on a light or adjust the heating, you can use the screen or ask Siri.
Control accessories in the Home app
First, add compatible smart-home accessories to your Apple Home household using a supported device such as iPhone. On HomeView, open the Home app to access the accessories available in that home. Apple lists lights, thermostats, door locks, window shades and cameras among the devices HomeView can control in its official overview.
You can tap on an accessory to control it, or ask Siri to perform supported actions, such as adjusting the temperature or switching off lights. Scenes and automations set up through Apple Home can also coordinate several accessories as part of a routine.
Put the most useful controls on screen
The Home Modular face offers at-a-glance access to favorite smart-home accessories. For broader setup context, see how Apple Home Collection accessories work and our complete Apple HomeView guide.
