Appliances helps discover apps, SaaS products, no-signup tools, clones, or software alternatives.
ESPHome turns ESP32, ESP8266, and RP2040 microcontrollers into smart home devices. Configuration is done through simple configuration files or a visual Device Builder, with YAML available for manual coding. Devices connect to Home Assistant over the local network.
Home Assistant Companion Docs document the companion apps for iOS and Android that let users view and control a Home Assistant instance. The app can also act as a data source, adding sensors such as battery and network status and creating a device_tracker entity for location updates. Some features are not yet supported by Android.
Home Assistant is an open source home automation platform that runs on local hardware such as a Raspberry Pi or a local server and emphasizes local control and privacy. It integrates with over a thousand devices and services and includes an automation engine for responding to events like sunset or a garage door being left open.
Homestyler is an online 3D home design tool that runs in the browser without installation. Users can upload a 2D floor plan or sketch for conversion into an editable 3D model, decorate with furniture models via drag-and-drop, and visualize designs through cloud rendering. Templates are available, and AI tools include image-to-image and text-to-image room design.
openHAB is a vendor- and technology-agnostic open source automation software for the home, developed in Java on Apache Karaf. Its pluggable architecture supports over 400 technologies and thousands of devices, with rules driven by time, events, scripts, actions, notifications and voice control. It runs on Linux, macOS, Windows, Raspberry Pi, Docker and Synology, and is accessed through web, iOS and Android apps. It runs on local hardware without requiring cloud services.
David.li is the site of an artist making interactive playthings with maths, sound, code and squishiness. The page lists works including Splash Canvas, Viola the Bird, Blob Opera, Elastic Man, Fluid Paint, Character Soup, Fluid Particles, Vortex Spheres, Volumetric Particle Flow, Fourier Image Filtering and Ocean Wave Simulation.
