Manage your Homebridge systems
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Homemanager 5 is here! ++ Rebuilt from the ground up, both technically and conceptually. Optimized for a more modern and faster mobile experience.
Homemanager makes Homebridge and HOOBS simpler, more modern, and more mobile.
Manage your Homebridge or HOOBS systems directly from your iPhone or iPad, with guided flows, an intuitive interface, and powerful tools for setup, integrations, configuration, and maintenance.
For many Apple Home users, Homebridge is the easiest way to bring devices and services into Apple Home that would otherwise not be available there. Homemanager helps you get started with Homebridge step by step and set up your system.
Why Homemanager?
Since 2018, we have been developing Homemanager with the goal of making Homebridge and HOOBS management more accessible, more reliable, and better suited for everyday use. The app supports you from the initial setup all the way to ongoing system management. Whether you are looking for integrations, editing configurations, managing bridges, reviewing logs, or installing updates, everything is designed for a clear and mobile friendly experience.
For you in the app:
- Integration Store: Discover integrations, filter them, and understand them more easily
- Interactive Configuration: Comprehensive support for established community configuration standards, optimized for mobile use
- System Updates: Update Node and Homebridge directly in the app
- Temporary Changes: Prepare changes, review them, and apply them later when you are ready
- Logs and Terminal: Review logs and work directly on your server
- System Dashboard: Performance, updates, and status information at a glance
For advanced setups:
- Hybrid Editor: Edit JSON in a structured, visual way with search
- SmartDetect 2: Easily adopt example configurations and continue configuring them graphically
- Multi Server: Manage multiple servers centrally
- Pairing and Cache Management
Who is Homemanager for?
For anyone who wants to use Homebridge or HOOBS not just somehow, but manage it reliably and comfortably, from getting started to more advanced setups.
more I really enjoy using this app, allowing me to quickly manage my HOOBS server from my iPhone or iPad without having to use the web. The interface makes it user friendly. I have one suggestion though - when you are managing devices, and make changes, there should be a save or upload button on that screen. Instead you have to click the ‘back’ button, tap the three dots and tap ‘upload’. This was the only counterintuitive thing I encountered. Otherwise, a must have!Edit - thanks for taking the time to respond! Happy to hear you guys are making improvements! Looking forward to receiving updates
Developer Response Hi,thanks a lot for your review. In our next major release - Homemanager 3 - we have a new optimized configuration page with many new features and a lot of improvements. One of the improvements is an always persistent and directly accessible Upload button ;) The update will be available later this year. If there is anything else, let us know: info@homemanager-app.deCheers,Ron

This app is a “smart home” game changer. My family really likes Apple. I’d looked into HomeKit but felt the supported devices were limited, expensive and sometimes just not the best choices. I like having IoT devices and had everything already set up in SmartThings, Alexa and Google Home. I just felt like we were too far down the path to switch over to Apple Home.I’d read about Homebridge, but it was a little deeper into the smart home pool than I was ready to dive at that point. Then I came across the HOOBS subreddit from the Homebridge subreddit I’d been on reading and eventually found Homemanager. WOW. In my opinion the Homemanager app and HOOBS make adding unsupported HomeKit devices on par with adding devices in Alexa or Google Home. Especially with the Import Config feature in Homemanager. The app is so well designed and makes updating the configuration file for Homebridge really easy. You don’t have to worry about syntax with brackets and commas. It imports the sample config into a GUI form for you to simply enter parameters. Trust me, if I can do this, anyone can do it. I don’t write a lot of reviews, but felt compelled to add one for Homemanager. It’s my favorite app by far!
Developer Response Hi,thanks a lot for writing a review. It is great to hear that you like our app and especially our simple Config import feature and generic visual editor. We have a lot new things planed for summer 2020. Stay tuned. Cheers,Ron

This app has been great for managing my HOOBS Pro device! I would like to see some UI tweaks (it can get a bit confusing tabbing between plugins, bridges, and the main interface as they are all extremely alike) - perhaps a cleaner navigation or breadcrumb feature would be helpful.Also, I still don’t see the HOOBS Pro icon as an option for the server, only the outdated HOOBS Box. Please add the HOOBS Pro icon so it can accurately reflect my device! (I’m a bit OCD about this stuff haha).Can’t wait to see what HomeManager 5 is like - is there a Beta I can participate in on TestFlight? If so, please let me sign up, I do beta testing for a number of apps (I work as DevOps for a tech startup).Keep up the great work!

I have now been using this app for about 6-7 months and it had been completed rock solid and bug free. I would recommend this app to anyone that has a home bridge instance. My one complaint is the licensing tiers; i don't mind paying for the software because I know it works great but I purchased what I thought was the pro tier but I guess was the middle one. I love this app!!!

- Integration Store: Dedicated community store with categories, filters, trends, and compatibility information
- Interactive Configuration: Comprehensive support for established community configuration standards, optimized for mobile use

A big thank you to everyone who supported Homemanager 5 with feedback, ideas, and testing. And a very special thank you to all of you who have stayed with us for years, many of you since 2018.
