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.

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.

Great tool for Homekit

Really like this app. The app notified me of 3 Kasa plugs that became unresponsive in HomeKit, still in the on position so everything was working.
I usually don’t turn these plugs off unless we were out of town and I had forgotten to turn off the devices that were connected to them.
Just unplugged and replugged and they were back again.
One of the plugs is connected to the wife's vanity. If we had left town and a curling iron was left on and I couldn't turn it off, this would be a huge problem.
Side note: I have never had these plugs go unresponsive out of the blue.

Easy on the eyes—and incredibly useful

As someone who once gave a less than glowing review of the developer’s HomeLights app because of its design language (a review which I later amended when the developer made some promising improvements), I can enthusiastically confirm that not only does HomeCare look and feel more like a native app—it’s also just a really great tool. Loving the continued support for Shortcuts actions.

If HomeLights looked more like this, I might become a lifetime user.

Developer Response ,

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review to share about your experience! Really glad HomeCare helped you catch those unresponsive Kasa plugs before they caused bigger issues. That's exactly what the app is designed to do - identify problems before they disrupt your automations!
