Dumb Home: Smart-Home Truth
The plain truth about gadgets
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Smart-home gadgets are sold on a promise. The box says "works with everything." The fine print says otherwise — and you only find out after it's on the wall.
Dumb Home tells you the truth first.
Paste a link to any smart-home device — a camera, a lock, a sensor, a hub — and get a plain-language verdict built from verified technical facts: what it actually does, what it needs to work, and the catch the marketing left out. No reviews, no opinions, no affiliate spin. Just what's true, with the source shown.
WHAT YOU GET
• The catch, first. Every verdict leads with the thing the box hides — the subscription you didn't know was required, the hub it secretly needs, the "Matter support" that isn't there yet.
• Verified, not guessed. Every claim is grounded in real specs — FCC filings, certification records, manufacturer documentation — and we show you where it came from, with the date we last checked it.
• It refuses to oversell. When something genuinely won't work for your setup, it says so. This app would rather tell you "don't" than sell you a maybe.
SEE YOUR WHOLE HOME (free for your first 3 devices)
Add the devices you own and see how they actually fit together — which ones share a network, which talk over the Thread mesh, which need a bridge to join the party, and where the real gaps are. No account required to start.
KEEP THE TRUTH CURRENT (Dumb Home Pro)
Smart-home gadgets change after you buy them — a firmware update quietly removes a feature, a "works with" claim disappears. Dumb Home Pro keeps watching your whole home and surfaces what changed, so the deal you bought is the deal you keep.
• Unlimited devices and multiple homes
• The living view that tracks changes over time
• $3.99/month or $15.99/year. Free for up to 3 devices, always. Cancel anytime.
Dumb Home is made by Culturo LLC. We make money from subscriptions, not from selling you devices — so we have no reason to tell you anything but the truth.
Dumb Home Pro is an auto-renewing subscription ($3.99/month or $15.99/year). Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. It renews automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the period. Manage or cancel in your Apple Account settings.
