HOME.BOY — Smart Home Assistant Display for tvOS
Home Assistant, on TV

A calm dashboard
for your home.

HOME.BOY turns your Apple TV into an ambient dashboard for Home Assistant — room sensors and controls, a shared family calendar and chores, and live weather, all on the big screen.

Get the App See it in action

01

Every room, at a glance

Temperature, humidity and other sensors grouped by room, with history sparklines so you can see where things are headed — not just where they are. Turn off lights, adjust fans, and trigger scenes right from the remote.

Room-by-room readings

Live temperature and humidity per room, each with its own sparkline history.

Borrow another room's sensors

An open-plan kitchen with no thermometer of its own? Point it at any other room's readings.

02

One dashboard, one household

A shared calendar and two independent to-do lists — chores, groceries, whatever your household needs — pulled straight from Home Assistant and laid out for reading from across the room.

Synced from any Home Assistant calendar — iCloud or Google, via CalDAV.
Two to-do lists, one per side of the household.

03

Your sky, on the screen

A full-screen animated backdrop — real clouds, rain, stars and a day/night sky — driven by your actual local conditions, with an hourly and daily forecast strip anchored to every screen.

04

Point it at your own server

Your Home Assistant address (auto-discovery included) and a long-lived access token — that's it. No accounts, no cloud middleman: HOME.BOY talks directly to your own Home Assistant instance.

Auto-discovery, one token

HOME.BOY finds your server on the local network; paste a long-lived access token and connect.

Swipe to navigate

Swipe the remote's trackpad to move between Monitor, Family and Settings — built for a remote, not a mouse.

Runs on hardware you already own

Requires an existing Home Assistant installation on your local network. This app connects only to your own server — we don't operate a cloud service, and never see your data.

A second screen for your home that's always on, always calm.

Get HOME.BOY on the App Store for $9.99

Being an indie developer, I decided that the price of a smart outlet is more than fair, especially since the app is delivered fully tested. Requires an existing Home Assistant installation on your local network.
