HomeButtons makes is quick & easy to toggle all of your HomeKit accessories & scenes.
Whilst the built-in Home app provides this functionality, HomeButtons was designed to make it much quicker to quickly activate a scene or toggle an accessory’s state. It is fully configurable so you only see your most used accessories & scenes.
HomeButtons contains these great features:
ACCESSORIES
Add the accessories you use most to enable you to quickly toggle lights on & off, shutters opened & closed and more. As long as the accessory has a toggle-type mechanism, it is supported by HomeButtons. Accessories you add are split by room and sorted alphabetically so they are easy to find.
SCENES
Set the scene with your most frequently used scenes. No more trying to guess where in the grid you can find your scene, the scenes you add are all sorted alphabetically.
WIDGETS
Control your accessories & scenes from the Home Screen, Lock Screen or Control Center with support for widgets. Widgets are interactive and support the same quick selection methods as the main app to control your home.
APPLE WATCH
The HomeButtons app for Apple Watch makes it super quick & easy to control your accessories and set the scene from your wrist. It’s quick to update and is fully configurable too.
ICLOUD SYNC
Added accessories & scenes sync over iCloud so you can access them from your other Apple devices.

HomeRun 2 puts the power of HomeKit onto your wrist and Home screen with complications and widgets that do what you need them to do, when you need them to do it.
Leveraging the power of those complications and widgets, HomeRun 2 lets you quickly tap the action that best suits you without being bogged down by a list of arbitrary actions.
Simply, HomeRun 2 is a distraction-free way to make full use of HomeKit's actions and scenes when you need them most.
----
POWERFUL, CUSTOMIZABLE GRIDS
Grids let you set up groups of actions and scenes that best suit you. You could create a grid with actions you're likely to need during an evening and another for working at home. And that's just the start.
CUSTOMIZABLE APPLE WATCH COMPLICATIONS
Apple Watch is the computer you always have with you, making it the perfect HomeRun 2 companion. Beautiful complications can be set up to offer custom actions and each one can be configured to switch design and action over time. Configuring complications has never been easier thanks to a gorgeous new interface.
Have a complication show your early morning scene button when you wake up, but your movie night scene when it's time to kick back and relax.
HOME SCREEN WIDGETS
Home screen widgets are designed the way you want them to be, offering only the actions you choose. Available in three sizes, widgets can be used for single actions or a whole grid of them – the choice is yours.
ROUTINES
We all have our own routines and HomeRun 2 make sure Apple Watch's Siri watch face knows all about them. Choose actions that are best suited to particular times of the day and Siri will surface them on your Apple Watch when you're using the Siri watch face.
CUSTOMIZATION
Home screen widgets and Apple Watch complications need to fit your aesthetic. That's why HomeRun 2 offers thousands of icon choices and an endless supply of color combinations. Let your creative side run wild!
