About Dashboard: Smart Home & RTSP
Turn a wall-mounted iPad into a control panel for Apple Home. Cameras, heating, lights, blinds, locks, solar power and the calendar on one screen — arranged the way you want. CUSTOM LAYOUT (PREMIUM) • Press and drag any tile anywhere; resize it with the corner handle and give it a color tint. • The same device can have more than one tile, say on a day page and an evening page, and any tile can be renamed. CAMERAS • RTSP cameras outside HomeKit: enter the stream address or let the app find it (ONVIF); live video; G.711 or AAC audio full screen. H.264 and H.265: Hikvision, Dahua, Reolink, UniFi, Tapo, Synology. • HomeKit cameras: refreshing snapshots, one Live button for all, listen and talk back in detail. • All cameras in one tile, in one to three rows that scroll sideways. • Doorbell: a ring wakes the panel and opens its camera full screen beside your locks. • RTSP time-lapse up to 12 hours, saved to Photos (Premium). • Two cameras free. YOUR HOME • Thermostats and air conditioners: target temperature in 0.5° steps and the mode the device offers — Off, Heat, Cool, Automatic. Thermometers in °C or °F, also as a large number (2 each free). • Lights, switches, outlets and fans, Home app groups too (4 free): a brightness or speed slider on the tile, color and white temperature in a panel (Premium). State is rechecked behind bridges that don't report changes. • Blinds and shades: position and slat tilt, Matter bridges too — KNX/1Home (4 free). • Locks, gates and garage doors: Nuki and tedee can open the door on a long press (4 free). • Security: windows and doors as one Open / All closed item (4 free); alarm Home / Away / Night / Off, no limit. • Sensors: humidity, water leak, smoke, CO, light level, motion, air quality with CO₂ and dust (4 free). • Robot vacuums behind a bridge: start, stop, suction and battery (2 free). • One-tap scenes (2 free). • Solar: inverter power in W, kW or % — production, consumption, grid draw, feed-in, battery. • Weather for 6 days; with Premium, today hour by hour. 3D FLOOR PLAN (PREMIUM) Upload a render of your home, place devices on it and tap the plan to control them. CAR AND PODCASTS (PREMIUM) The status of a Skoda from the MyŠkoda app — charge, range, locks, climate; start charging or the air conditioning with a tap. Needs a key from the MyŠkoda app. Podcasts from Apple’s directory: the latest episodes in one tile, played from the panel or via AirPlay to a HomePod. CALENDAR A week of a shared calendar with countdowns. DISPLAY AND LOOKS On iPad the screen dims when idle and wakes on touch, the front camera or a motion sensor. A scene can put it to sleep and wake it too. With Premium a screen saver takes over: clock, outdoor and indoor temperature, weather, calendar, camera, even over your photos. Six backgrounds or your own color or photo. BACKUP Settings via iCloud to another device; with Premium as a file. PREMIUM (SUBSCRIPTION OR ONE-TIME) Unlocks custom layouts, separate for iPad and iPhone, the 3D floor plan, the car, podcasts, Apple Music (needs its subscription), light colors, hourly weather, time-lapse, Shortcuts, the screen saver and file backup, and removes count limits. Try Premium free for a week; a yearly subscription then starts and renews automatically and can be canceled any time in Apple Account settings. Or buy it once and keep it forever. PRIVACY No data collected, no accounts, no sign-up. Everything stays on your device; camera video stays on your network. Only the weather is fetched, anonymously, plus a daily check for a new version, a connection to the Skoda Auto server for the car and, for podcasts, Apple’s directory and the publishers’ feeds. In 22 languages. Requires iOS 17 or later; haptic feedback on iPhone. Controlling devices needs an Apple Home; RTSP cameras work without one.

What’s new
Version 3.5 · Updated October 21, 2026
Car and podcast tiles, all cameras in one tile, and the same device in more than one place. • Car: the status of your Skoda from the MyŠkoda app — charge, range, locks, climate — arranged around a picture of the car; tap to start charging or the air conditioning. Requires Premium and a key from the MyŠkoda app. • Podcasts: follow podcasts from Apple’s directory and see their latest episodes in one tile; they play from the panel or through AirPlay to a HomePod and remember where you left off. They don’t sync with the Podcasts app. Requires Premium. • Screen saver on iPad: large outdoor and indoor temperatures with smaller humidity below, like a home weather station — readable from across the room. Choose the sensors in Settings → Screen saver; outdoors can also use the temperature from the weather. Requires Premium. • Large numbers on the dashboard: a thermometer or thermostat can show just the temperature in whole degrees across the whole tile. Turn it on in the tile settings under the gear in Edit layout, along with the name and color. The clock can drop the date and AM/PM. • Haptic feedback on iPhone: a tap on a tile is confirmed right away with a light tap. Turn it off in Settings → Appearance. • All cameras in one tile: cameras sit side by side and the ones that don’t fit scroll sideways, in one to three rows. Turn it on in Settings → Cameras. • More than one tile for the same device: “+” next to a selected device, or next to the clock, weather and calendar, adds another tile you can move, say, to an evening page. Update Dashboard on every device that shares settings through iCloud — older versions remove the extra tiles. • Tiles show the device name in the largest type, as in the Home app, and any tile can be renamed while editing the layout. • Fans: a speed slider, swing and automatic mode. • Outlets behind bridges that report changes in only one direction show their state more reliably. • In Hebrew, tiles now follow your finger when you move or resize them, and icons on the 3D floor plan sit in the right place.
