Quick Menu
Long-press a tile and a radial menu fans out with up to 8 shortcuts. Slide to one and release. Takes about a second.
How It Works
Section titled “How It Works”- Long-press a tile
- Slide your finger (keep it down) to the action you want
- The action screen shows — slide to change the value, release to execute
Slide to the red X to cancel.
What You Can Put in Slots
Section titled “What You Can Put in Slots”Entity controls — Purpose-built sliders and toggles for the tile’s device: brightness, color, color temperature, effects, temperature setpoints, HVAC mode, fan speed/direction, volume, next/previous track, mute, shuffle, cover position/tilt, lock/unlock, alarm arm/disarm modes, vacuum start/pause/dock, counter +/-, siren on/off, and more. The available actions match what the device supports.
Toggle any device — not just the tile you pressed. A living room light tile could have a quick menu item for the porch light.
Run a script or scene — “Movie Mode” from any tile.
Trigger an automation — Run, enable, or disable any Home Assistant automation.
Jump to a page — Switch to any page. Configure per slot.
Page Switcher — Open the page-switcher overlay to pick any page.
Peek a status page — A scrollable home-status list. Every light that’s on, every door that’s open, every low battery. Pick one of the five built-in status pages or any you’ve built. Per-slot Open on Release toggle — release to dismiss, or release to open it as a sheet.
Ask Assist — Dictate a command and send it to Home Assistant Assist.
Speak a message — Dictate a one-off message and speak it via TTS, or pick from a saved phrase list, or fire a single pre-written phrase.
Voice broadcast — Record a live message and play it on your speakers like an intercom.
Remote controls — Apple TV / universal remote commands: full D-pad overlay, power toggle, play/pause, menu, home, volume arc, mute, and next track.
App info peek — Quick glance at server URL, version, and Pro status while hovering.
Open Quick Menu — Open the universal anywhere menu from any tile.
Entity Settings — Open the tile’s settings without reaching for your phone.
Server Mode — Toggle between local and remote server connections.
Refresh — Force a full state refresh across all tiles.
Hold-and-Slide: 4 Directions
Section titled “Hold-and-Slide: 4 Directions”Any tile can have up to four extra actions bound to hold-and-slide gestures on the tile itself — up, down, left, right. Hold the tile and drag in a direction to fire that action without opening the full entity view or the radial.
Assign each direction independently in the iPhone editor per tile — any action is valid (toggle, run scene, jump to page, speak a phrase, etc.). Great for “turn the light up” without ever leaving the home grid.
Example
Section titled “Example”Bedroom light tile with:
- Slot 1: Toggle the hallway light
- Slot 2: Activate “Good Night” scene
- Slot 3: Jump to the security cameras page
- Slot 4: Peek the “Before Bed” status page
- Slot 5: Broadcast “Heading to bed” to the house speaker
Universal Quick Menu
Section titled “Universal Quick Menu”Long-press a tile, slide to the center, then scroll the Digital Crown to switch from the tile’s quick menu to the universal quick menu — the configurable “anywhere” menu of global shortcuts. Works from any page, any tile, anywhere. Good for “all lights off” or page shortcuts.
You can also open the universal menu directly by long-pressing empty space on a page. Optional secondary gestures — Swipe Up/Down, Up/Down ×2, or Clockwise — can also switch from the entity menu to the universal menu without using the crown; pick one and tune its speed in Settings → Interactions.
Entity Quick Menu
Section titled “Entity Quick Menu”Each tile also has an entity quick menu with common actions for its type — brightness presets for lights, volume for media players, etc.
Setting Them Up
Section titled “Setting Them Up”In the iPhone app, tap a tile → Quick Menu → add up to 8 slots with custom icons and colors. Each slot has its own action, icon, color, and (for peek-style slots) an open on release toggle.
Animation Styles
Section titled “Animation Styles”The radial menu has configurable visual effects — glow intensity, beam effects (Wedge, Aurora, Bloom, Ripple, Wake), entrance animations (Spring, Pop, Fade), neon outline, finger shadow, icon bubble, and background dim. These are set up per-tile in the editor.
