Entities

Every tile responds to touch based on what kind of entity it is.

The Basics

Tap — The primary action. Toggles devices, activates scenes, runs scripts. Add a confirmation prompt in the editor for tiles you don’t want firing by accident — garage doors, locks, anything destructive.

Long-press — Opens the radial quick menu. Slide to a slot and release. From the same long-press, slide up / down / left / right to fire one of the four hold-and-slide actions configured for the tile.

Open the entity view — Add the Entity Settings slot to a tile’s quick menu, or assign Entity Settings to a hold-and-slide direction. The entity view has sliders, pickers, and options tuned for the watch — you can also use the Digital Crown for fine adjustments.

After tapping, the tile animates while waiting for the server — if Pending Animation is turned on. If the server doesn’t respond in a few seconds, it reverts and you feel a failure haptic.

Lights

The entity view adapts to your bulb — a simple on/off bulb gets a brightness slider, a full-color bulb gets everything:

Brightness — Arc slider, 0–100%
Color temperature — Warm to cool
RGB color — Continuous color wheel (hue around the ring, saturation toward the center) with a swatch and color name preview
Effects — Whatever your bulb supports (candle, strobe, color loop, and more), with a scrollable picker when there are many

Climate

Shows only what your thermostat supports:

Temperature — Arc slider within your configured range
Dual setpoints — Separate heat/cool targets for auto mode
Mode — Heat, Cool, Auto, Fan Only, Off
Fan and presets — When available

Locks

Tap toggles lock/unlock. The lock entity view (open via Entity Settings) shows slide to unlock when locked and a Lock button when unlocked. The slide gesture prevents accidental unlocks from wrist bumps.

Media Players

Volume slider, play/pause/skip, shuffle and repeat, source selection (HDMI, Bluetooth, AirPlay), sound mode, and now-playing info. Use the Digital Crown for precise volume adjustments.

For multi-speaker setups with grouping, library browsing, and album art, see the Music Hub.

Remotes

A purpose-built grid remote for TVs, streaming boxes, and receivers — D-pad overlay, 12 reassignable slots, a Quick Actions tab for scripts, and Crown control. Full feature breakdown at Remote.

Covers

Blinds, curtains, garage doors, gates. Arc slider from closed to open, with a stop button for mid-movement. Venetian blinds get a separate Tilt tab alongside Position. Valves use the same entity view.

Cameras

Camera tiles show preview snapshots — pull to refresh to update them. Tap for a full-screen live stream. Use bigger tile sizes (2x1 or 2x2) to actually see the preview. More at Cameras.

Sensors

Tap for a history graph showing min, max, and current values. The default ranges are 1 hour, 6 hours, and 24 hours, and you can swap any tab for 5 m / 15 m / 30 m / 1 h / 2 h / 6 h / 12 h / 1 d / 3 d / 7 d / 14 d / 30 d in the sensor’s settings. Works for both regular sensors and binary sensors.

Tile layout is unified: the entity name sits at the bottom, and the current value sits as a small badge in the top-left corner. Binary sensors display Home Assistant’s device-class labels — doors/windows show Open / Closed, motion shows Motion / Clear, batteries show Low / Normal, occupancy shows Detected / Clear, and so on across all standard device classes, instead of raw on/off.

Weather

Weather entities open a dedicated detail view with two tabs:

Now — Current temperature with feels-like, humidity, dew point, wind speed/bearing/gusts, pressure, visibility, cloud cover, UV index, and a multi-day forecast
Hourly — Hourly forecast strip for the next several hours

Conditions (sunny, cloudy, rainy, snowy, stormy, foggy, etc.) get matching SF Symbols and color theming. Units come from the entity’s own metadata, so they match whatever Home Assistant is reporting.

Calendars

Calendar tiles show the next upcoming event. Tap to open a tabbed event list that defaults to Today / Tomorrow / 7-day but is fully reconfigurable per calendar — pick how many days each tab covers from the Settings tab inside the view. Events are grouped by day with Today / Tomorrow / day-of-week headers.

Multiple calendars per tile — Merge events from several calendar.* entities into one tile. The first calendar is the primary (drives the tile’s icon and title); add extras from the Calendars tab in the editor. Each source gets its own accent color (auto-picked from a stable hash, overridable from the swatch row), and events draw a colored bar so you can tell at a glance which calendar a meeting comes from. All-day events render in your local time zone — no more off-by-one-day events.

Person & Device Trackers

Person and device tracker tiles show Home / Away / zone name. Tap to open a presence view with a hero indicator (breathing when home, dashed when away), the current state, and an Open in Maps link when GPS coordinates are available.

Zones

Tap to see who’s currently in the zone. Shows the count of people inside, the list of tracked persons, and whether the zone is passive (won’t trigger automations).

Music Hub

Multi-speaker control for Music Assistant or grouped media players. Pages: Controls (transport + now-playing), Speakers (per-speaker on/off and grouping), Volume (per-speaker arcs and master volume), Library (playlists, albums, artists, radios), Queue (browse and jump), and More (sleep timer, sound mode, favorites). Group presets, sync-volumes mode, and album art included. Full feature breakdown at Music Hub.

Sirens

Tap to toggle. The entity view adapts to what your siren reports as supported:

On / Off — Always available; “On” arms a confirm before firing
Volume — Arc slider (when supported by the entity)
Duration — Arc slider in seconds, with Auto for the device default (when supported)
Tone — Scrollable picker of available tones (when the entity exposes tones)

Voice Tiles

A few tile types aren’t HA entities themselves — they expose specific watch features as tappable tiles:

Assist — Send a voice command to Home Assistant Assist; opens the voice screen directly
Speak Message — Speak typed or pre-set text via TTS to a chosen speaker (or the watch). Configure output mode, target speakers, TTS engine, and speech volume per tile
Notify — Send notifications to any notify.* service from your watch with optional title and message body
Assist Satellite — Announce, chat, and run tools on assist_satellite.* entities, with quick links into linked conversation.*, tts.*, stt.*, and wake_word.* voice entities

Everything Else

The default tap action below is what fires when you haven’t customized the tile. You can swap any tile’s tap behavior in the editor — for example, make a Counter tile open its full entity view on tap instead of incrementing.
