Native iOS app for smart home powered by Home Assistant
IntelliNest
Description
IntelliNest is a native iOS application that leverages the power of the popular open-source home automation platform, Home Assistant, to control a variety of smart home devices and aims to replace the web-based Home Assitant app. The application is written in Swift/SwiftUI. My hope is that this repo will help you create your own native iOS app, I think the easiest approach is to familiarise yourself with this repo and then remove the views/viewmodels and start building your own based on the same architecture as this app. With chatGPT I think this would be doable even if you are not a iOS developer but you will need some experience in software development.
Supported features
Rest API and Websocket support
Will probably replace some views to only use websocket instead of the rest api.
Dynamic connection
Changing between local and remote connection depending on if counter.test88338833 is accessible or not using the local url
Heaters
Controlling heaters functionality – Temperature, mode, fan, vertical and horisontal direction and timer functionality.
Car
Climate handling and scheduling, refresh data, start/stop charging, lock/unlock doors and charger limit and battery info.
Door locks
Roborock
Info since the trash was emptied, map view start/paus, dock, locate and send to bin. Also buttons for each room (organized by floor plan)
CCTV
Using snapshot images 4 fps. Fully implemented support to use VLCMediaKit but the loading times were too long and Pod file not installed. It support rtsp while using local connection and HLS through home assistant remote connection otherwise.
Lights
Sliders to set the brightness, tappable sliders and bulb button above each room.
NFC tags
Set up automation in Shortcuts that call the intent in app (Storage lock and toggle monitor)

Used for logging and custom HomeView
Remote logging
ShipBookSDK log function extended to always include which user it was that logged
