Communication at home takes many forms — we want more of the dinner-time conversations, but we could do with less of the loud knocking on doors, banging on ceilings, and shouting up stairs. If you have a HomeKit home, why not take advantage of it, and use your lights to help communicate?

Introducing Signals for HomeKit, the best way to communicate in the home, without all the shouting.

Signals works with any of your bulbs, switches or outlets with lights attached - have a kid who plays video games with headphones on? Just tap on their light to give it a few flashes.

Take it to a new level with the Signals Plus In-App Purchase, and put some meaning behind your flashes:

- Create a Time to Go Signal to flash the kids bedroom lights, and then set their night lights green
- A Dinner Time Signal can pulse lights in the bedrooms and the office, and then set them to blue
- Even setup a “GET DOWN HERE NOW” signal, to flash the kids’ lights red, and keep them that way!

Trigger your Signals in multiple ways — in the app, with your voice or automations using Siri Shortcuts, or with our beautiful Widgets!

Whether you have kids, or someone in the family with a hearing disability, Signals for HomeKit can help quiet things down, and keep the conversations face to face, rather than shouted through the house.

Requirements
- Any HomeKit equipped light bulb, switch or outlet. Switches or outlets must be configured with a light attached. HomeKit must already be configured.
- Compatible with iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. iOS 15 required.

Usage Notes:
- If you have a bulb or switch with a slow ramp/fade rate, try shortening this rate in the manufacturers app, if the flash isn't noticeable - if this doesn't work, please let us know at https://www.homemadeautomation.com/contact-us, so we can help find a solution!

What's New in Version 2.6

New OS? No problem, Signals for HomeKit has some great new features to go with it!

- Interactive Widgets - your Signals can run seamlessly from a Widget without needing to launch the app!
- More options - the Small Widget now supports up to two Signals, and we've introduced a brand new Extra Large Widget on iPad, support up to 16 Signals (or even just 1, reeeeaaaalllly big one!)
- Standby mode works GREAT when mounted in the kitchen (done making dinner, just quickly swipe to the Signals Widget, and hit the 'Dinner Time' Signal! iPad Widgets are awesome on a wall mounted HomeKit controller, too!
