homeThing
homeThing is a universal remote platform that works with any smart home.
Control Anything
homeThing starts with a menu similar to an iPod that lets users navigate the different functions of the remote. There’s a clock and battery life at the top of the screen that’s always visible. Lights also get a special menu for setting the temperature and color.
homeThing can control smart devices like Philips Hue Lights, Sonos Speakers, Nest Thermostats and more! It can also control devices plugged directly into it like light strips, soil moisture sensors or buttons.
And it’s all open source.
In Any Shape
homeThing can run on any ESP32, but you’ll need a display to see the action! We’ve tested a bunch of different devices that work with homeThing including
- M5Stack Fire
- M5Stack StickC Plus
- LilyGo TDisplay
- LilyGo TDisplay T4
- LilyGo TDisplay S3
- Lilygo TEmbed
Make It Yours
homeThings menu, fonts and colors can be customized by the user to fit their setup and style.
