HomeKit Created a HomeKit data logger (turned into Home Pod)

[gijsmans]

I wanted to have a zero mainentance and zero setup HomeKit logger so I build one. It uses an 'old' iPhone 12 and the HomeDash app. Really nice. Added a few tiles to make it a Home Hub too. It's free, hope you like it too. Screenshots in Dutch but covers most common languages. The printed dock is on MakerWorld. Any comments?

HomeDash - App Store

ps. Fahrenheit and AM/PM update is on its way

How much does the in app purchase for camera support cost?

Can the logged data be exported?

Why does the app store say this app is 4+ years old?

I use Home Assisstant to achieve this. There's homekit support in it both ways; a devices added to HA can be exposed to HomeKit and the other way around.

Would be cool if you answered the questions I posed after you asked for feedback….

IAP cost is visible your local App Store. Depends where you are. Logged data export is planned for a coming update.

A little confused because the link in OP says 'HomeDash' but the app name that matches these screenshots is listed as Homehub+ in the USA. HomeDash is a complete different app.

Either way, looks pretty nice. Havent tried it out just yet but can confirm in app purchases are $1.99 for 'camera tiles' and $4.99 for 'control tiles'.

Seems like fair pricing, looking forward to logging exports! Imports would be nice too, especially when devices need to get removed or re-added, or if sensors change rooms.

OP you may want to put the name of the App in the title as well as correct the link.

Hi, I changed the name of the app from HomeDash to HomeHub as the first name was already taken.
