Featured on 9to5Mac, MacStories & more. The complete HomeKit troubleshooting toolkit for smart home reliability.
Tired of HomeKit devices randomly failing and breaking your automations?
HomeCare is the complete HomeKit toolkit for troubleshooting, monitoring, and debugging your smart home. Beyond instantly identifying which devices aren't responding, it provides powerful diagnostic tools to understand exactly what's happening in your HomeKit setup. No more guessing why your morning routine failed or which device is causing problems.
INSTANT TROUBLESHOOTING:
Quickly scan your entire HomeKit setup to see which devices don't respond to commands. HomeCare tests each device and immediately shows you what's broken, unreachable, or timing out. See which devices have low batteries that need replacement soon. For failing devices, check the 'Last Time Online' to understand when problems started.
PROACTIVE MONITORING:
HomeCare runs automatic health checks in the background and sends push notifications only when new problems emerge. Catch device failures before they disrupt your daily routines instead of discovering issues after your automations have already broken. Get alerted when device batteries are running low with customizable thresholds for each device.
SCENE & AUTOMATION TESTING:
Test your scenes and automations step-by-step to identify exactly which action is causing a scene to be reported as 'Failed' in the Home app or by Siri. No more mystery failures - see precisely what's breaking your automations.
REAL-TIME LOGS MONITORING:
The Logs Viewer monitors all HomeKit device state changes happening across your entire home, specific rooms, or individual devices. See exactly when devices change states and track the timeline of events - essential for understanding device behavior during troubleshooting sessions.
PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS:
Run multiple test cycles on each device to build detailed statistics about response times and success rates. Ever wondered which of your brands performs best? Compare performance across devices, manufacturers, bridges, and rooms to identify which components of your setup are most reliable and which need attention. Export comprehensive reports to PDF or CSV for detailed analysis.
EXPORT YOUR SETUP:
Export your full HomeKit device list to CSV with customizable data fields, plus your scenes and automations as readable text or CSV — perfect for keeping a backup or reviewing your entire setup outside the app.
CLEAN UP YOUR SETUP:
Find and fix issues that silently clutter your HomeKit setup. The Automation Health tool now checks triggers, actions, and broken conditions, giving you a much more complete picture of what could break your automations. The Empty Scenes checker finds scenes with no actions that serve no purpose. Keep your setup tidy and your automations reliable.
SHORTCUTS WORKFLOW INTEGRATION:
Get reports of all faulty devices directly in Shortcuts, or check if a specific device responds before sending commands to it. This prevents your Shortcuts workflows from failing when devices are offline - your Shortcuts will only execute HomeKit actions on devices that are actually responding.
COMPREHENSIVE DEVICE SUPPORT:
Works with all HomeKit accessories including bridge-connected devices from Aqara, Eve, Philips Hue, LIFX, and more. HomeCare correctly identifies device types and uses appropriate testing methods for each.
SMART HOME RELIABILITY MADE SIMPLE:
Stop reactive troubleshooting. HomeCare shows you what's broken, what's slow, and what's working perfectly - so your smart home runs reliably every day.
Download HomeCare and take control of your HomeKit setup's health.
I’ve been having issues with my HomeKit compatible TV in my morning automation. This app helped me to identify an issue where the automation was trying to change settings on the TV before switching it on. Caused delays and occasional failure. Fixed it by adjusting the automation to only turn the TV on. Fixing the morning automation. Fantastic little app!
