Your First Page

You’re connected. Time to build a layout.

On the Pages tab, tap Add Page — you’ll drop straight into the editor for your first page. The editor has a watch-shaped preview at the top, a side toolbar on the right (with the + Add button), and a tab bar at the bottom for the selected tile: Icon, State, Size, Style, Page. To rename the page later, tap its name on the Pages tab card.

The Add Entities overlay opens by default for a brand-new page. Tap a category — Controls (lights, switches, locks, covers, scenes, scripts), Climate, Media, Automation, Sensors, or Inputs — and the matching entities from Home Assistant appear. Each tap drops an entity onto the page immediately — keep tapping to keep adding. Use the search field at the bottom to find anything by name or entity ID. To reopen the overlay later, tap the + Add button on the right-hand toolbar.

Good first picks:

  • A few lights you toggle daily
  • Your front door lock
  • The thermostat
  • A scene like “Good Night” or “Movie Mode”
  • A camera for your front door (bump the size up in the Size tab)

Drag tiles to rearrange — put your most-used ones near the top. Tap a tile and use the tab bar to change its Icon, State display, Size, or Style. When you’re happy, tap Save (top right).

Back on the Pages tab, tap Add Page to create another, then tap its card to open it in the editor. Drag cards to reorder. Create as many as you want — “Favorites” and “All Lights”, or “Downstairs” and “Upstairs”, whatever matches how you think about your home.

For the initial sync, make sure both the watch app and the iPhone app are open and in the foreground.

Once synced, try these interactions:

  • Tap a light to toggle it on/off.
  • Long-press a light for the quick menu — keep your finger down and slide to an icon without lifting. The action opens with your finger still down. Adjust the value and lift your finger when you’re happy. To cancel, slide to the red X and let go. Try brightness first.
  • Open the entity view — long-press the light, then slide to the Entity Settings slot in the radial menu (or assign Entity Settings to a hold-and-slide direction in the iPhone editor). Swipe left/right along the bottom to page through settings.
  • Swipe left to see your next page.
  • Tap a scene to activate it.

Once you’ve got a page you like, there’s a lot more to explore:
