Arbor · by Parallel 41Beta

A native app for Home Assistant.

Your own Home Assistant server as a real iPhone and iPad app: rooms from your areas, live state, dashboards you arrange by touch, and a lock on anything you mark read-only.

iPhoneiPad

In TestFlight beta for iPhone and iPad. A Mac app is planned.

Requires a Home Assistant server you control. Arbor is not affiliated with Home Assistant or the Open Home Foundation.

What it does

Arbor talks straight to the Home Assistant server you already run. Rooms come from your areas, so a new switch appears as soon as you give it one. Tap to switch lights, outlets, fans and scenes; long-press a dimmer for brightness. Garage doors and locks always ask first.

Arrange your dashboard on the dashboard itself, the way the iOS Home Screen works: add, move and resize widgets by touch, with no forms and no code.

Who it's for

People who run their own Home Assistant server and want an app that looks and feels as good as the best Apple apps, and that they can shape to their home without writing YAML.

Features

What Arbor does for you.

01

Rooms from your areas

Pair a device, give it an area in Home Assistant, and it shows up in the right room. Nothing to configure twice.

02

Dashboards you arrange by touch

Add, move and resize widgets on the dashboard itself, across several pages. Layouts stay on your device and, if you want, on your own server.

03

Read-only means read-only

Label anything read-only in Home Assistant and Arbor shows it without letting anyone switch it.

04

Sign in with Home Assistant

Use your Home Assistant account or an access token. Arbor finds your server on the network by itself.

05

At a glance

Room temperature, humidity and power on every room. The iPad gets a sidebar and a full-width dashboard.

06

Try it with no server

A demo mode shows a sample home, so you can see Arbor before you connect anything.

Pricing

What it costs

Pricing isn't set yet.

Privacy

Your data stays yours

Arbor collects nothing. No analytics, no accounts and no Arbor server: the app talks only to your own Home Assistant, and your sign-in stays in the iOS Keychain.
