Sure! Please e-mail me at nick@itsyhome.app and I will send you the TF link.


Thanks – well, in theory yes. I will add this as a feature request to Git and consider how to implement it.

There is update 1.3.1 pending review at Apple which introduces doorbell support – it opens camera feed when someone rings.


Perfect – expect the TF link in the e-mail soon!


Excellent – please e-mail me to nick@itsyhome.app and I will send you the link to Testflight. This looks like a great use case.


Thanks! Hue actually works with HomeKit natively – you can pair your Hue bridge in the Home app and then all your Hue lights show up in Itsyhome automatically. For Alexa-only devices, the Home Assistant integration (currently in beta) would cover most of them since HA supports pretty much everything.


Good tips! thx and good luck with the project!


The camera streams are HLS via AVFoundation – Apple doesn't expose raw frames, so no programmatic capture there. But motion detection events do flow through the SSE endpoint (/events), so you can use those to trigger webhooks or automations. For HA cameras there's also a snapshot endpoint you can hit on demand, e.g. when motion fires.

SSE is in the upcoming 2.0.0 which is currently on TestFlight – happy to add you if you want to try it out.


Thanks so much! I'm obsessed with great UX, spent some time thinking how to lay it out properly.


Nope, but I love it too! :) I'm the author of Itsyhome, Itsypad – https://itsypad.app (a tiny scratchpad & clipboard manager for macOS) and Itsytv - https://itsytv.app (the missing Apple TV remote for macOS).


Itsypad looks really nice! Are there some plans to add an iOS keyboard to access the clipboard too? :)


Could you clarify on this a bit? I am building iOS companion for Itsypad that would also sync scratch notes via iCloud sync, but keyboard idea seems interesting too – just not clear what's the desired outcome?


The idea would be to share the clipboard between mac and iOS, and have a "clipboard keyboard" on iOS, so in an app, I can easily access my favorite clips and paste them (at least for text ones)

Obviously, this would be even better if you could have different "paste lists" where I can "pin" some of my clips to a given list, and select which list I want in the keyboard

That's how other "shared clipboard" apps work (at least Copy'Em, etc)


Unfortunately no – HomeKit pairing requires an iPhone or iPad. Apple doesn't support adding devices from macOS. Once they're added though, Itsyhome can control everything from your Mac.


Perfect – I will send the link shortly – waiting for the new build to be cleared by Apple.


What’s the best way to get notified once HA is released? This looks like an insta-buy.


Good question – I don't have a mailing list :) You can probably follow the github repo, and I was planning to post it to r/homeassistant on Reddit.
