Version History VIDEO TUTORIALS

Eight tutorial videos are now out — switching off a Harmony, your first Room, Activities, dashboard and Action Panel design, Controllers, Automations, Voice, and the HomeBar panels. Watch them from Settings, under About, or tap Watch in any section of the QuickStart Guide, updated throughout for 10.6.

SPOTLIGHT, CONTROLS & WIDGETS

Rooms and activities appear in Spotlight, where opening one returns a room card with Mute, Pause, and Off. Control Center controls run activities and can sit on the Lock Screen or the Action button, and an edge-to-edge Activity widget runs them from the Home Screen. Siri can also start or stop a room by name, in English, German, Spanish, and French.

IPHONE DUO

Roomie is ready for iPhone Duo. Content stays clear of the system's vertical bar, the activity button joins the other controls inside it, the guide tiles only the columns that fit, and launch no longer opens a blank second window.

HISTORY: THE STATE TAB

A new State tab charts what your home actually did. Every device and every zone gets a full day strip, grouped by room and searchable, so you can see when the lights went on and how long the air conditioning ran. Scrub a strip to read any moment, and open a device for totals and a list of changes. A refused command gets its own row naming the device, and a device that answers but refuses is marked "Not responding."

CLAUDE APP & WEBSITE

Claude on claude.ai and in the Claude app can now view and control your home from anywhere. On a dedicated Primary Controller, turn on Claude Connector under Settings → Managed Device Options → Claude, where MCP Access holds the connector URL, Home Link Code, and access key. Claude can also help diagnose your home, reading its diagnostic logs, configuration, and controller roster with credentials always left out, and offering a report on where the problem lies and whether it will recur.

CAMERAS

Camera video is rebuilt: frames now draw on the GPU, Room Layout tiles stream each camera's lower-bandwidth sub-stream, and a learned budget adjusts how much video runs at once on each device. Streams also open about a second faster, and Guided Add finds Reolink cameras.

WEATHER

Your Primary Controller now relays WeatherFlow Tempest and PurpleAir readings to every controller, so station weather and air quality appear on devices that can't hear them directly, and it serves cloud air quality when a local sensor dies. The forecast lens flips the panel between Conditions, Precipitation, and Wind.

"HEY ROOMIE" ACROSS THE ROOM

The wake word carries across the room with far-field detection, and a spoken command that matches nothing now tells you so. You can also skip or replay by an amount and seek to a position by voice.

DEVICE SUPPORT

Mitsubishi mini-split thermostats join through your Kumo Cloud account, with modes, half-degree setpoints, fan speeds, and per-zone status. Vera thermostats, locks, shades, and sensors type correctly, with setpoint and mode commands restored. The McIntosh MA8900 gains serial control, and Denon receivers add the Game 2 input.

HOMEPOD

Announcements are upgraded to send via AirPlay 2, required for Software 27 support. They start at the press and play whole on every speaker.

RELIABILITY

Apple TV honors a pairing backoff and reconnects after pairing, a denied Local Network permission is announced to the home, Sonos names the track rather than the station, and Lutron Caséta shades report their positions. An announcement starting as another closes keeps its Sonos speakers, and an unreadable Apple TV message or a bad pairing code no longer crashes the app. Add Wait is now Add Delay, Delete Device lists the receiver inputs mapped to it, controller deletes stick across sync, and Insteon lights stay current after the hourly reconnect.

ALSO INCLUDED FROM 10.5

• JVC and Epson projector passwords, and Valerion VisionMaster support.
• Google TV and Google Cast Now Playing and volume. 10.6.0 6d ago CONTROL YOUR HOME FROM CLAUDE

Roomie can now be a local MCP server on your network — connect Claude or any MCP client and ask to start activities, adjust volume, control lights and thermostats, or check what's playing. Claude can even verify commands landed by reading recent actions and device health. Enable with an access key you create in Settings → MCP Access.

PROJECTOR AUTHENTICATION & VALERION

JVC and Epson projectors now accept the network password you set on the projector, using each projector's own secure handshake — existing projectors migrate automatically. New: Valerion VisionMaster support over AWOL Link, covering power, inputs, volume, and the lens and picture menus including picture modes, laser level, and tone mapping. The device panel also shows the signal Barco and Valerion projectors are receiving: resolution, aspect ratio, bit depth, HDR, and color space.

HISTORY

Every action in your home is recorded with its origin — a tap, the Watch, Alexa, an automation — alongside security, settings, and configuration trails, a searchable network timeline, and an automations view showing recent, missed, and upcoming runs.

LG TV PAIRING RESTORED

Recent LG firmware broke pairing for third-party remotes. Roomie re-registers and recovers affected TVs automatically.

GOOGLE TV & GOOGLE CAST

Google TV gains volume and mute feedback, absolute volume, and discrete power on and off, and Google Cast devices report Now Playing with artwork, transport and seek control, live progress, and receiver volume.

DEVICE SUPPORT

StormAudio ISP and Trinnov processors with live volume and named inputs and presets. Receivers report what's actually playing — stream type, channel format, sample rate, upmixer. Honeywell Home (Resideo) replaces the retired Total Connect Comfort service. Samsung TV app launching returns via SmartThings. Sonos gains a group picker in Now Playing.

WEATHER & AIR QUALITY

A WeatherFlow Tempest station on your network feeds live wind and rainfall, and air quality is more accurate with EPA humidity correction and smart PurpleAir source selection — combining Tempest, PurpleAir, and Apple Weather into a master view of local weather.

RELIABILITY

Dozens of fixes: Nest setpoints no longer revert, automations honor delays and Stop modes, Alexa can turn off any activity again, and camera windows keep their streams and placement.

ALSO INCLUDED FROM 10.4

• Apple Watch app — rebuilt from the ground up, with voice control.
• Proximity Switching with Roomie Beacons.
• Home Assistant cameras and thermostats.
• Smarter Remote Access and modernized camera discovery.
• Add a Smart TV for Free — one network TV, no subscription. 10.5.0 Sep 1 APPLE WATCH APP

Roomie returns to Apple Watch — a next-generation app rebuilt from the ground up. Start and switch activities, control transport, and adjust volume with the Digital Crown, right from your wrist. Hands-free voice control is built in, including conversational xAI Voice, relaying through your nearby iPhone. Add a complication to launch straight into the room that's playing.

PROXIMITY SWITCHING

Roomie can switch a controller's active Room automatically from Bluetooth beacon proximity. Use the new Roomie Beacon devices, Roomie IR products that now advertise as beacons, or third-party iBeacons — assign one to each Room, and Roomie activates whichever Room's beacon is nearest. It even works in the background, so the right room is set before you open the app. Enabled per controller with a detection-sensitivity preset.

HOME ASSISTANT CAMERAS & THERMOSTATS

Home Assistant cameras are now auto-discovered with snapshots and live HLS streaming, each mapped to the matching Roomie room. Climate entities are supported with fan-mode control, alongside the existing lights, switches, covers, fans, locks, and sensors.

FASTER CAMERA DISCOVERY

Finding network cameras is faster and more reliable, with smarter vendor-aware authentication and one-tap add. Discovery can now reach beyond your controller's own network segment to find cameras on other subnets or VLANs.

SMARTER REMOTE ACCESS

Roomie now stays on fast local control whenever your controller can reach the primary directly — even across different Wi-Fi networks at home — instead of switching to Remote Access unnecessarily. You can also add a controller that lives on another subnet or VLAN by entering its address directly.

SAVANT

Control Savant systems through the Savant Open API. Turn on services and issue zone commands — power, mute, volume — for any Savant room, with state-feedback triggers keeping Roomie in sync with what Savant is doing. (Requires Active Savant Essentials subscription)

NEW DEVICE SUPPORT

LEA Professional Connect Series amplifiers with per-room channel mapping and live volume and mute feedback. AVPro MXNet AV-over-IP matrix control (1G and 10G CBOX) with automatic endpoint aliasing and routing. And Nest Thermostat pairing no longer requires re-authenticating every 7 days.

ADD A SMART TV FOR FREE

Pair a single network smart TV — Samsung, LG, Roku, or many more — at no cost and with no subscription. Roomie lists eligible TVs on your network and sets up control and an activity automatically.

ALSO INCLUDED FROM 10.3

• Room Layouts — a customizable mixed-size card grid for every room and the dashboard.
• iCloud Backups — reliable cross-platform backups with automatic mesh sync.
• Redesigned Weather panel with PurpleAir air quality.
• IR Learning rebuilt from the ground up.
• Universal Remote HTTP API for third-party bridges and automation. 10.4.0 Jul 2 ROOM LAYOUTS

Every room now uses a customizable mixed-size card grid. Tap Edit to add, remove, resize, or rearrange cards — activity tiles, toggles, weather, clock, cameras, sensors, Lutron keypads, and more. Cameras get a 4:3 landscape default, keypads can be Double or Double Tall, and clock tiles can show moon phase and a sky gradient. Layouts on smaller controllers automatically scale down. Keep multiple layouts per room and assign them to specific controllers or have Roomie switch automatically based on the running activity or other attributes.

DASHBOARD

A new Now Playing tile aggregates active activities across your rooms with transport controls and power-off. Tap any camera tile on the Dashboard to go straight to fullscreen zoom.

iCLOUD BACKUPS

Manual and scheduled backups now use iCloud as a reliable transport that works on every Roomie platform including tvOS. Turn on Automatic Backups on one controller and the rest of your mesh follows along, never overwriting your existing local history. Roomie TV can restore directly from iCloud Backups on tvOS. Smarter rotation tracks daily and monthly snapshots per home.

NEXT GEN WEATHER WITH AIR QUALITY

The HomeBar Weather Panel has been redesigned with a compact header, stacked alert banners with severity tinting, an hourly strip, and richer daily forecast data. PurpleAir Air Quality reads AQI from a local sensor on your network or from nearby public outdoor sensors via the PurpleAir cloud API. Each controller now fetches weather independently for faster, more accurate forecasts everywhere. Clock tiles can also display a moon-phase badge and a live sky gradient driven by local sunrise and sunset.

IR LEARNING RESURRECTED

IR Learning has been rebuilt from the ground up. Global Caché iTach, Simple Blaster, and Roomie Blaster are auto-detected, with carrier override and protocol detection. Learn codes for thermostats, alarms, lights, switches, fans, shades, garage doors, locks, keypads, and sensors — not just TVs and receivers. Code verification adds timing-jitter tolerance, duplicate detection, and a full event history for every learn attempt.

VOICE CONTROL IMPROVEMENTS

Two wake word models — Roomie AI (instant on-device) and Apple Speech (slower but rock-solid). Three voice control modes once the wake word is recognized: Local, Roomie AI natural-language, and xAI Voice for hands-free conversational control. Substantially fewer false positives in noisy rooms.

UNIVERSAL REMOTE HTTP API

A documented, stable HTTP API at /api/v1/ for third-party bridges, automations, and integrations. POST /api/v1/remote/press takes a button name (play, pause, volumeup, activity1, activitypoweroff, etc.) and resolves it against the currently running activity. Supports tap, press/release, repeat, timed-hold, and digit-entry actions. Capabilities and Rooms endpoints let bridges build dynamic UIs.

ALSO INCLUDED FROM 10.2

• Home Assistant — Full local control of lights, switches, covers, fans, locks, garage doors, and sensors. Auto-discovered.
• Jandy iAquaLink — Pool and spa control with real-time status and temperature.
• Next Gen Sync — Persistent connections for faster, guaranteed-delivery controller communication.
• Automatic Primary Controller — Dynamic failover with per-controller priority.
• Redesigned HomeBar Panels and rebuilt Activity, Module, and Automation editors. 10.3.1 May 15 ROOM LAYOUTS

version 10.6.0

posted on 2026-10-15

Version History VIDEO TUTORIALS

Eight tutorial videos are now out — switching off a Harmony, your first Room, Activities, dashboard and Action Panel design, Controllers, Automations, Voice, and the HomeBar panels. Watch them from Settings, under About, or tap Watch in any section of the QuickStart Guide, updated throughout for 10.6.

SPOTLIGHT, CONTROLS & WIDGETS

Rooms and activities appear in Spotlight, where opening one returns a room card with Mute, Pause, and Off. Control Center controls run activities and can sit on the Lock Screen or the Action button, and an edge-to-edge Activity widget runs them from the Home Screen. Siri can also start or stop a room by name, in English, German, Spanish, and French.

IPHONE DUO

Roomie is ready for iPhone Duo. Content stays clear of the system's vertical bar, the activity button joins the other controls inside it, the guide tiles only the columns that fit, and launch no longer opens a blank second window.

HISTORY: THE STATE TAB

A new State tab charts what your home actually did. Every device and every zone gets a full day strip, grouped by room and searchable, so you can see when the lights went on and how long the air conditioning ran. Scrub a strip to read any moment, and open a device for totals and a list of changes. A refused command gets its own row naming the device, and a device that answers but refuses is marked "Not responding."

CLAUDE APP & WEBSITE

Claude on claude.ai and in the Claude app can now view and control your home from anywhere. On a dedicated Primary Controller, turn on Claude Connector under Settings → Managed Device Options → Claude, where MCP Access holds the connector URL, Home Link Code, and access key. Claude can also help diagnose your home, reading its diagnostic logs, configuration, and controller roster with credentials always left out, and offering a report on where the problem lies and whether it will recur.

CAMERAS

Camera video is rebuilt: frames now draw on the GPU, Room Layout tiles stream each camera's lower-bandwidth sub-stream, and a learned budget adjusts how much video runs at once on each device. Streams also open about a second faster, and Guided Add finds Reolink cameras.

WEATHER

Your Primary Controller now relays WeatherFlow Tempest and PurpleAir readings to every controller, so station weather and air quality appear on devices that can't hear them directly, and it serves cloud air quality when a local sensor dies. The forecast lens flips the panel between Conditions, Precipitation, and Wind.

"HEY ROOMIE" ACROSS THE ROOM

The wake word carries across the room with far-field detection, and a spoken command that matches nothing now tells you so. You can also skip or replay by an amount and seek to a position by voice.

DEVICE SUPPORT

Mitsubishi mini-split thermostats join through your Kumo Cloud account, with modes, half-degree setpoints, fan speeds, and per-zone status. Vera thermostats, locks, shades, and sensors type correctly, with setpoint and mode commands restored. The McIntosh MA8900 gains serial control, and Denon receivers add the Game 2 input.

HOMEPOD

Announcements are upgraded to send via AirPlay 2, required for Software 27 support. They start at the press and play whole on every speaker.

RELIABILITY

Apple TV honors a pairing backoff and reconnects after pairing, a denied Local Network permission is announced to the home, Sonos names the track rather than the station, and Lutron Caséta shades report their positions. An announcement starting as another closes keeps its Sonos speakers, and an unreadable Apple TV message or a bad pairing code no longer crashes the app. Add Wait is now Add Delay, Delete Device lists the receiver inputs mapped to it, controller deletes stick across sync, and Insteon lights stay current after the hourly reconnect.

ALSO INCLUDED FROM 10.5

• JVC and Epson projector passwords, and Valerion VisionMaster support.
• Google TV and Google Cast Now Playing and volume. 10.6.0 6d ago CONTROL YOUR HOME FROM CLAUDE

Roomie can now be a local MCP server on your network — connect Claude or any MCP client and ask to start activities, adjust volume, control lights and thermostats, or check what's playing. Claude can even verify commands landed by reading recent actions and device health. Enable with an access key you create in Settings → MCP Access.

PROJECTOR AUTHENTICATION & VALERION

JVC and Epson projectors now accept the network password you set on the projector, using each projector's own secure handshake — existing projectors migrate automatically. New: Valerion VisionMaster support over AWOL Link, covering power, inputs, volume, and the lens and picture menus including picture modes, laser level, and tone mapping. The device panel also shows the signal Barco and Valerion projectors are receiving: resolution, aspect ratio, bit depth, HDR, and color space.

HISTORY

Every action in your home is recorded with its origin — a tap, the Watch, Alexa, an automation — alongside security, settings, and configuration trails, a searchable network timeline, and an automations view showing recent, missed, and upcoming runs.

LG TV PAIRING RESTORED

Recent LG firmware broke pairing for third-party remotes. Roomie re-registers and recovers affected TVs automatically.

GOOGLE TV & GOOGLE CAST

Google TV gains volume and mute feedback, absolute volume, and discrete power on and off, and Google Cast devices report Now Playing with artwork, transport and seek control, live progress, and receiver volume.

DEVICE SUPPORT

StormAudio ISP and Trinnov processors with live volume and named inputs and presets. Receivers report what's actually playing — stream type, channel format, sample rate, upmixer. Honeywell Home (Resideo) replaces the retired Total Connect Comfort service. Samsung TV app launching returns via SmartThings. Sonos gains a group picker in Now Playing.

WEATHER & AIR QUALITY

A WeatherFlow Tempest station on your network feeds live wind and rainfall, and air quality is more accurate with EPA humidity correction and smart PurpleAir source selection — combining Tempest, PurpleAir, and Apple Weather into a master view of local weather.

RELIABILITY

Dozens of fixes: Nest setpoints no longer revert, automations honor delays and Stop modes, Alexa can turn off any activity again, and camera windows keep their streams and placement.

ALSO INCLUDED FROM 10.4

• Apple Watch app — rebuilt from the ground up, with voice control.
• Proximity Switching with Roomie Beacons.
• Home Assistant cameras and thermostats.
• Smarter Remote Access and modernized camera discovery.
• Add a Smart TV for Free — one network TV, no subscription. 10.5.0 Sep 1 APPLE WATCH APP

Roomie returns to Apple Watch — a next-generation app rebuilt from the ground up. Start and switch activities, control transport, and adjust volume with the Digital Crown, right from your wrist. Hands-free voice control is built in, including conversational xAI Voice, relaying through your nearby iPhone. Add a complication to launch straight into the room that's playing.

PROXIMITY SWITCHING

Roomie can switch a controller's active Room automatically from Bluetooth beacon proximity. Use the new Roomie Beacon devices, Roomie IR products that now advertise as beacons, or third-party iBeacons — assign one to each Room, and Roomie activates whichever Room's beacon is nearest. It even works in the background, so the right room is set before you open the app. Enabled per controller with a detection-sensitivity preset.

HOME ASSISTANT CAMERAS & THERMOSTATS

Home Assistant cameras are now auto-discovered with snapshots and live HLS streaming, each mapped to the matching Roomie room. Climate entities are supported with fan-mode control, alongside the existing lights, switches, covers, fans, locks, and sensors.

FASTER CAMERA DISCOVERY

Finding network cameras is faster and more reliable, with smarter vendor-aware authentication and one-tap add. Discovery can now reach beyond your controller's own network segment to find cameras on other subnets or VLANs.

SMARTER REMOTE ACCESS

Roomie now stays on fast local control whenever your controller can reach the primary directly — even across different Wi-Fi networks at home — instead of switching to Remote Access unnecessarily. You can also add a controller that lives on another subnet or VLAN by entering its address directly.

SAVANT

Control Savant systems through the Savant Open API. Turn on services and issue zone commands — power, mute, volume — for any Savant room, with state-feedback triggers keeping Roomie in sync with what Savant is doing. (Requires Active Savant Essentials subscription)

NEW DEVICE SUPPORT

LEA Professional Connect Series amplifiers with per-room channel mapping and live volume and mute feedback. AVPro MXNet AV-over-IP matrix control (1G and 10G CBOX) with automatic endpoint aliasing and routing. And Nest Thermostat pairing no longer requires re-authenticating every 7 days.

ADD A SMART TV FOR FREE

Pair a single network smart TV — Samsung, LG, Roku, or many more — at no cost and with no subscription. Roomie lists eligible TVs on your network and sets up control and an activity automatically.

ALSO INCLUDED FROM 10.3

• Room Layouts — a customizable mixed-size card grid for every room and the dashboard.
• iCloud Backups — reliable cross-platform backups with automatic mesh sync.
• Redesigned Weather panel with PurpleAir air quality.
• IR Learning rebuilt from the ground up.
• Universal Remote HTTP API for third-party bridges and automation. 10.4.0 Jul 2 ROOM LAYOUTS

Every room now uses a customizable mixed-size card grid. Tap Edit to add, remove, resize, or rearrange cards — activity tiles, toggles, weather, clock, cameras, sensors, Lutron keypads, and more. Cameras get a 4:3 landscape default, keypads can be Double or Double Tall, and clock tiles can show moon phase and a sky gradient. Layouts on smaller controllers automatically scale down. Keep multiple layouts per room and assign them to specific controllers or have Roomie switch automatically based on the running activity or other attributes.

DASHBOARD

A new Now Playing tile aggregates active activities across your rooms with transport controls and power-off. Tap any camera tile on the Dashboard to go straight to fullscreen zoom.

iCLOUD BACKUPS

Manual and scheduled backups now use iCloud as a reliable transport that works on every Roomie platform including tvOS. Turn on Automatic Backups on one controller and the rest of your mesh follows along, never overwriting your existing local history. Roomie TV can restore directly from iCloud Backups on tvOS. Smarter rotation tracks daily and monthly snapshots per home.

NEXT GEN WEATHER WITH AIR QUALITY

The HomeBar Weather Panel has been redesigned with a compact header, stacked alert banners with severity tinting, an hourly strip, and richer daily forecast data. PurpleAir Air Quality reads AQI from a local sensor on your network or from nearby public outdoor sensors via the PurpleAir cloud API. Each controller now fetches weather independently for faster, more accurate forecasts everywhere. Clock tiles can also display a moon-phase badge and a live sky gradient driven by local sunrise and sunset.

IR LEARNING RESURRECTED

IR Learning has been rebuilt from the ground up. Global Caché iTach, Simple Blaster, and Roomie Blaster are auto-detected, with carrier override and protocol detection. Learn codes for thermostats, alarms, lights, switches, fans, shades, garage doors, locks, keypads, and sensors — not just TVs and receivers. Code verification adds timing-jitter tolerance, duplicate detection, and a full event history for every learn attempt.

VOICE CONTROL IMPROVEMENTS

Two wake word models — Roomie AI (instant on-device) and Apple Speech (slower but rock-solid). Three voice control modes once the wake word is recognized: Local, Roomie AI natural-language, and xAI Voice for hands-free conversational control. Substantially fewer false positives in noisy rooms.

UNIVERSAL REMOTE HTTP API

A documented, stable HTTP API at /api/v1/ for third-party bridges, automations, and integrations. POST /api/v1/remote/press takes a button name (play, pause, volumeup, activity1, activitypoweroff, etc.) and resolves it against the currently running activity. Supports tap, press/release, repeat, timed-hold, and digit-entry actions. Capabilities and Rooms endpoints let bridges build dynamic UIs.

ALSO INCLUDED FROM 10.2

• Home Assistant — Full local control of lights, switches, covers, fans, locks, garage doors, and sensors. Auto-discovered.
• Jandy iAquaLink — Pool and spa control with real-time status and temperature.
• Next Gen Sync — Persistent connections for faster, guaranteed-delivery controller communication.
• Automatic Primary Controller — Dynamic failover with per-controller priority.
• Redesigned HomeBar Panels and rebuilt Activity, Module, and Automation editors. 10.3.1 May 15 ROOM LAYOUTS

A new Now Playing tile aggregates active activities across your rooms with transport controls and power-off. Tap any camera tile on the Dashboard to go straight to fullscreen zoom.

iCLOUD BACKUPS

Manual and scheduled backups now use iCloud as a reliable transport that works on every Roomie platform including tvOS. Turn on Automatic Backups on one controller and the rest of your mesh follows along, never overwriting your existing local history. Roomie TV can restore directly from iCloud Backups on tvOS. Smarter rotation tracks daily and monthly snapshots per home.

NEXT GEN WEATHER WITH AIR QUALITY

The HomeBar Weather Panel has been redesigned with a compact header, stacked alert banners with severity tinting, an hourly strip, and richer daily forecast data. PurpleAir Air Quality reads AQI from a local sensor on your network or from nearby public outdoor sensors via the PurpleAir cloud API. Each controller now fetches weather independently for faster, more accurate forecasts everywhere. Clock tiles can also display a moon-phase badge and a live sky gradient driven by local sunrise and sunset.

IR LEARNING RESURRECTED

IR Learning has been rebuilt from the ground up. Global Caché iTach, Simple Blaster, and Roomie Blaster are auto-detected, with carrier override and protocol detection. Learn codes for thermostats, alarms, lights, switches, fans, shades, garage doors, locks, keypads, and sensors — not just TVs and receivers. Code verification adds timing-jitter tolerance, duplicate detection, and a full event history for every learn attempt.

VOICE CONTROL IMPROVEMENTS

Two wake word models — Roomie AI (instant on-device) and Apple Speech (slower but rock-solid). Three voice control modes once the wake word is recognized: Local, Roomie AI natural-language, and xAI Voice for hands-free conversational control. Substantially fewer false positives in noisy rooms.

UNIVERSAL REMOTE HTTP API

A documented, stable HTTP API at /api/v1/ for third-party bridges, automations, and integrations. POST /api/v1/remote/press takes a button name (play, pause, volumeup, activity1, activitypoweroff, etc.) and resolves it against the currently running activity. Supports tap, press/release, repeat, timed-hold, and digit-entry actions. Capabilities and Rooms endpoints let bridges build dynamic UIs.

ALSO INCLUDED FROM 10.2

Every room now uses a customizable mixed-size card grid. Tap Edit to add, remove, resize, or rearrange cards — activity tiles, toggles, weather, clock, cameras, sensors, Lutron keypads, and more. Cameras get a 4:3 landscape default, keypads can be Double or Double Tall, and clock tiles can show moon phase and a sky gradient. Layouts on smaller controllers automatically scale down. Keep multiple layouts per room and assign them to specific controllers or have Roomie switch automatically based on the running activity or other attributes.

version 10.5.0

posted on 2026-09-03

Version History CONTROL YOUR HOME FROM CLAUDE

Roomie can now be a local MCP server on your network — connect Claude or any MCP client and ask to start activities, adjust volume, control lights and thermostats, or check what's playing. Claude can even verify commands landed by reading recent actions and device health. Enable with an access key you create in Settings → MCP Access.

PROJECTOR AUTHENTICATION & VALERION

JVC and Epson projectors now accept the network password you set on the projector, using each projector's own secure handshake — existing projectors migrate automatically. New: Valerion VisionMaster support over AWOL Link, covering power, inputs, volume, and the lens and picture menus including picture modes, laser level, and tone mapping. The device panel also shows the signal Barco and Valerion projectors are receiving: resolution, aspect ratio, bit depth, HDR, and color space.

HISTORY

Every action in your home is recorded with its origin — a tap, the Watch, Alexa, an automation — alongside security, settings, and configuration trails, a searchable network timeline, and an automations view showing recent, missed, and upcoming runs.

LG TV PAIRING RESTORED

Recent LG firmware broke pairing for third-party remotes. Roomie re-registers and recovers affected TVs automatically.

GOOGLE TV & GOOGLE CAST

Google TV gains volume and mute feedback, absolute volume, and discrete power on and off, and Google Cast devices report Now Playing with artwork, transport and seek control, live progress, and receiver volume.

DEVICE SUPPORT

StormAudio ISP and Trinnov processors with live volume and named inputs and presets. Receivers report what's actually playing — stream type, channel format, sample rate, upmixer. Honeywell Home (Resideo) replaces the retired Total Connect Comfort service. Samsung TV app launching returns via SmartThings. Sonos gains a group picker in Now Playing.

WEATHER & AIR QUALITY

A WeatherFlow Tempest station on your network feeds live wind and rainfall, and air quality is more accurate with EPA humidity correction and smart PurpleAir source selection — combining Tempest, PurpleAir, and Apple Weather into a master view of local weather.

RELIABILITY

Dozens of fixes: Nest setpoints no longer revert, automations honor delays and Stop modes, Alexa can turn off any activity again, and camera windows keep their streams and placement.

ALSO INCLUDED FROM 10.4

• Apple Watch app — rebuilt from the ground up, with voice control.
• Proximity Switching with Roomie Beacons.
• Home Assistant cameras and thermostats.
• Smarter Remote Access and modernized camera discovery.
• Add a Smart TV for Free — one network TV, no subscription. 10.5.0 2d ago APPLE WATCH APP

Roomie returns to Apple Watch — a next-generation app rebuilt from the ground up. Start and switch activities, control transport, and adjust volume with the Digital Crown, right from your wrist. Hands-free voice control is built in, including conversational xAI Voice, relaying through your nearby iPhone. Add a complication to launch straight into the room that's playing.

PROXIMITY SWITCHING

Roomie can switch a controller's active Room automatically from Bluetooth beacon proximity. Use the new Roomie Beacon devices, Roomie IR products that now advertise as beacons, or third-party iBeacons — assign one to each Room, and Roomie activates whichever Room's beacon is nearest. It even works in the background, so the right room is set before you open the app. Enabled per controller with a detection-sensitivity preset.

HOME ASSISTANT CAMERAS & THERMOSTATS

Home Assistant cameras are now auto-discovered with snapshots and live HLS streaming, each mapped to the matching Roomie room. Climate entities are supported with fan-mode control, alongside the existing lights, switches, covers, fans, locks, and sensors.

FASTER CAMERA DISCOVERY

Finding network cameras is faster and more reliable, with smarter vendor-aware authentication and one-tap add. Discovery can now reach beyond your controller's own network segment to find cameras on other subnets or VLANs.

SMARTER REMOTE ACCESS

Roomie now stays on fast local control whenever your controller can reach the primary directly — even across different Wi-Fi networks at home — instead of switching to Remote Access unnecessarily. You can also add a controller that lives on another subnet or VLAN by entering its address directly.

SAVANT

Control Savant systems through the Savant Open API. Turn on services and issue zone commands — power, mute, volume — for any Savant room, with state-feedback triggers keeping Roomie in sync with what Savant is doing. (Requires Active Savant Essentials subscription)

NEW DEVICE SUPPORT

LEA Professional Connect Series amplifiers with per-room channel mapping and live volume and mute feedback. AVPro MXNet AV-over-IP matrix control (1G and 10G CBOX) with automatic endpoint aliasing and routing. And Nest Thermostat pairing no longer requires re-authenticating every 7 days.

ADD A SMART TV FOR FREE

Pair a single network smart TV — Samsung, LG, Roku, or many more — at no cost and with no subscription. Roomie lists eligible TVs on your network and sets up control and an activity automatically.

ALSO INCLUDED FROM 10.3

• Room Layouts — a customizable mixed-size card grid for every room and the dashboard.
• iCloud Backups — reliable cross-platform backups with automatic mesh sync.
• Redesigned Weather panel with PurpleAir air quality.
• IR Learning rebuilt from the ground up.
• Universal Remote HTTP API for third-party bridges and automation. 10.4.0 Jul 2 ROOM LAYOUTS

Every room now uses a customizable mixed-size card grid. Tap Edit to add, remove, resize, or rearrange cards — activity tiles, toggles, weather, clock, cameras, sensors, Lutron keypads, and more. Cameras get a 4:3 landscape default, keypads can be Double or Double Tall, and clock tiles can show moon phase and a sky gradient. Layouts on smaller controllers automatically scale down. Keep multiple layouts per room and assign them to specific controllers or have Roomie switch automatically based on the running activity or other attributes.

DASHBOARD

A new Now Playing tile aggregates active activities across your rooms with transport controls and power-off. Tap any camera tile on the Dashboard to go straight to fullscreen zoom.

PurpleAir Air Quality reads AQI from a local sensor on your network or from nearby public outdoor sensors via the PurpleAir cloud API. Each controller now fetches weather independently for faster, more accurate forecasts everywhere. Clock tiles can also display a moon-phase badge and a live sky gradient driven by local sunrise and sunset.

IR LEARNING RESURRECTED

IR Learning has been rebuilt from the ground up. Global Caché iTach, Simple Blaster, and Roomie Blaster are auto-detected, with carrier override and protocol detection. Learn codes for thermostats, alarms, lights, switches, fans, shades, garage doors, locks, keypads, and sensors — not just TVs and receivers. Code verification adds timing-jitter tolerance, duplicate detection, and a full event history for every learn attempt.

VOICE CONTROL IMPROVEMENTS

Two wake word models — Roomie AI (instant on-device) and Apple Speech (slower but rock-solid). Three voice control modes once the wake word is recognized: Local, Roomie AI natural-language, and xAI Voice for hands-free conversational control. Substantially fewer false positives in noisy rooms.

UNIVERSAL REMOTE HTTP API

A documented, stable HTTP API at /api/v1/ for third-party bridges, automations, and integrations. POST /api/v1/remote/press takes a button name (play, pause, volumeup, activity1, activitypoweroff, etc.) and resolves it against the currently running activity. Supports tap, press/release, repeat, timed-hold, and digit-entry actions. Capabilities and Rooms endpoints let bridges build dynamic UIs.

version 10.4.0

posted on 2026-08-21

Version History APPLE WATCH APP

Roomie returns to Apple Watch — a next-generation app rebuilt from the ground up. Start and switch activities, control transport, and adjust volume with the Digital Crown, right from your wrist. Hands-free voice control is built in, including conversational xAI Voice, relaying through your nearby iPhone. Add a complication to launch straight into the room that's playing.

PROXIMITY SWITCHING

Roomie can switch a controller's active Room automatically from Bluetooth beacon proximity. Use the new Roomie Beacon devices, Roomie IR products that now advertise as beacons, or third-party iBeacons — assign one to each Room, and Roomie activates whichever Room's beacon is nearest. It even works in the background, so the right room is set before you open the app. Enabled per controller with a detection-sensitivity preset.

HOME ASSISTANT CAMERAS & THERMOSTATS

Home Assistant cameras are now auto-discovered with snapshots and live HLS streaming, each mapped to the matching Roomie room. Climate entities are supported with fan-mode control, alongside the existing lights, switches, covers, fans, locks, and sensors.

FASTER CAMERA DISCOVERY

Finding network cameras is faster and more reliable, with smarter vendor-aware authentication and one-tap add. Discovery can now reach beyond your controller's own network segment to find cameras on other subnets or VLANs.

SMARTER REMOTE ACCESS

Roomie now stays on fast local control whenever your controller can reach the primary directly — even across different Wi-Fi networks at home — instead of switching to Remote Access unnecessarily. You can also add a controller that lives on another subnet or VLAN by entering its address directly.

SAVANT

Control Savant systems through the Savant Open API. Turn on services and issue zone commands — power, mute, volume — for any Savant room, with state-feedback triggers keeping Roomie in sync with what Savant is doing. (Requires Active Savant Essentials subscription)

NEW DEVICE SUPPORT

LEA Professional Connect Series amplifiers with per-room channel mapping and live volume and mute feedback. AVPro MXNet AV-over-IP matrix control (1G and 10G CBOX) with automatic endpoint aliasing and routing. And Nest Thermostat pairing no longer requires re-authenticating every 7 days.

ADD A SMART TV FOR FREE

Pair a single network smart TV — Samsung, LG, Roku, or many more — at no cost and with no subscription. Roomie lists eligible TVs on your network and sets up control and an activity automatically.

ALSO INCLUDED FROM 10.3

• Room Layouts — a customizable mixed-size card grid for every room and the dashboard.
• iCloud Backups — reliable cross-platform backups with automatic mesh sync.
• Redesigned Weather panel with PurpleAir air quality.
• IR Learning rebuilt from the ground up.
• Universal Remote HTTP API for third-party bridges and automation. 10.4.0 Jul 2 ROOM LAYOUTS

Every room now uses a customizable mixed-size card grid. Tap Edit to add, remove, resize, or rearrange cards — activity tiles, toggles, weather, clock, cameras, sensors, Lutron keypads, and more. Cameras get a 4:3 landscape default, keypads can be Double or Double Tall, and clock tiles can show moon phase and a sky gradient. Layouts on smaller controllers automatically scale down. Keep multiple layouts per room and assign them to specific controllers or have Roomie switch automatically based on the running activity or other attributes.

DASHBOARD

A new Now Playing tile aggregates active activities across your rooms with transport controls and power-off. Tap any camera tile on the Dashboard to go straight to fullscreen zoom.

iCLOUD BACKUPS

Manual and scheduled backups now use iCloud as a reliable transport that works on every Roomie platform including tvOS. Turn on Automatic Backups on one controller and the rest of your mesh follows along, never overwriting your existing local history. Roomie TV can restore directly from iCloud Backups on tvOS. Smarter rotation tracks daily and monthly snapshots per home.

NEXT GEN WEATHER WITH AIR QUALITY

The HomeBar Weather Panel has been redesigned with a compact header, stacked alert banners with severity tinting, an hourly strip, and richer daily forecast data. PurpleAir Air Quality reads AQI from a local sensor on your network or from nearby public outdoor sensors via the PurpleAir cloud API. Each controller now fetches weather independently for faster, more accurate forecasts everywhere. Clock tiles can also display a moon-phase badge and a live sky gradient driven by local sunrise and sunset.

IR LEARNING RESURRECTED

IR Learning has been rebuilt from the ground up. Global Caché iTach, Simple Blaster, and Roomie Blaster are auto-detected, with carrier override and protocol detection. Learn codes for thermostats, alarms, lights, switches, fans, shades, garage doors, locks, keypads, and sensors — not just TVs and receivers. Code verification adds timing-jitter tolerance, duplicate detection, and a full event history for every learn attempt.

VOICE CONTROL IMPROVEMENTS

Two wake word models — Roomie AI (instant on-device) and Apple Speech (slower but rock-solid). Three voice control modes once the wake word is recognized: Local, Roomie AI natural-language, and xAI Voice for hands-free conversational control. Substantially fewer false positives in noisy rooms.

UNIVERSAL REMOTE HTTP API

A documented, stable HTTP API at /api/v1/ for third-party bridges, automations, and integrations. POST /api/v1/remote/press takes a button name (play, pause, volumeup, activity1, activitypoweroff, etc.) and resolves it against the currently running activity. Supports tap, press/release, repeat, timed-hold, and digit-entry actions. Capabilities and Rooms endpoints let bridges build dynamic UIs.

ALSO INCLUDED FROM 10.2

• Home Assistant — Full local control of lights, switches, covers, fans, locks, garage doors, and sensors. Auto-discovered.
• Jandy iAquaLink — Pool and spa control with real-time status and temperature.
• Next Gen Sync — Persistent connections for faster, guaranteed-delivery controller communication.
• Automatic Primary Controller — Dynamic failover with per-controller priority.
• Redesigned HomeBar Panels and rebuilt Activity, Module, and Automation editors. 10.3.1 May 15 ROOM LAYOUTS

NEXT GEN WEATHER WITH AIR QUALITY

The HomeBar Weather Panel has been redesigned with a compact header, stacked alert banners with severity tinting, an hourly strip, and richer daily forecast data. PurpleAir Air Quality reads AQI from a local sensor on your network or from nearby public outdoor sensors via the PurpleAir cloud API. Each controller now fetches weather independently for faster, more accurate forecasts everywhere. Clock tiles can also display a moon-phase badge and a live sky gradient driven by local sunrise and sunset.

IR LEARNING RESURRECTED

IR Learning has been rebuilt from the ground up. Global Caché iTach, Simple Blaster, and Roomie Blaster are auto-detected, with carrier override and protocol detection. Learn codes for thermostats, alarms, lights, switches, fans, shades, garage doors, locks, keypads, and sensors — not just TVs and receivers. Code verification adds timing-jitter tolerance, duplicate detection, and a full event history for every learn attempt.

VOICE CONTROL IMPROVEMENTS

Two wake word models — Roomie AI (instant on-device) and Apple Speech (slower but rock-solid). Three voice control modes once the wake word is recognized: Local, Roomie AI natural-language, and xAI Voice for hands-free conversational control. Substantially fewer false positives in noisy rooms.

UNIVERSAL REMOTE HTTP API

A documented, stable HTTP API at /api/v1/ for third-party bridges, automations, and integrations. POST /api/v1/remote/press takes a button name (play, pause, volumeup, activity1, activitypoweroff, etc.) and resolves it against the currently running activity. Supports tap, press/release, repeat, timed-hold, and digit-entry actions. Capabilities and Rooms endpoints let bridges build dynamic UIs.

ALSO INCLUDED FROM 10.2

• Home Assistant — Full local control of lights, switches, covers, fans, locks, garage doors, and sensors. Auto-discovered.
• Jandy iAquaLink — Pool and spa control with real-time status and temperature.
• Next Gen Sync — Persistent connections for faster, guaranteed-delivery controller communication.
• Automatic Primary Controller — Dynamic failover with per-controller priority.
• Redesigned HomeBar Panels and rebuilt Activity, Module, and Automation editors. 10.3.1 May 15 ROOM LAYOUTS

Every room now uses a customizable mixed-size card grid. Tap Edit to add, remove, resize, or rearrange cards — activity tiles, toggles, weather, clock, cameras, sensors, Lutron keypads, and more. Cameras get a 4:3 landscape default, keypads can be Double or Double Tall, and clock tiles can show moon phase and a sky gradient. Layouts on smaller controllers automatically scale down. Keep multiple layouts per room and assign them to specific controllers or have Roomie switch automatically based on the running activity or other attributes.

DASHBOARD

A new Now Playing tile aggregates active activities across your rooms with transport controls and power-off. Tap any camera tile on the Dashboard to go straight to fullscreen zoom.

iCLOUD BACKUPS

Manual and scheduled backups now use iCloud as a reliable transport that works on every Roomie platform including tvOS. Turn on Automatic Backups on one controller and the rest of your mesh follows along, never overwriting your existing local history. Roomie TV can restore directly from iCloud Backups on tvOS. Smarter rotation tracks daily and monthly snapshots per home.

Version History ROOM LAYOUTS

Every room now uses a customizable mixed-size card grid. Tap Edit to add, remove, resize, or rearrange cards — activity tiles, toggles, weather, clock, cameras, sensors, Lutron keypads, and more. Cameras get a 4:3 landscape default, keypads can be Double or Double Tall, and clock tiles can show moon phase and a sky gradient. Layouts on smaller controllers automatically scale down.

Manual and scheduled backups now use iCloud as a reliable transport that works on every Roomie platform including tvOS. Turn on Automatic Backups on one controller and the rest of your mesh follows along, never overwriting your existing local history. Roomie TV can restore directly from iCloud Backups on tvOS. Smarter rotation tracks daily and monthly snapshots per home.
