Timix adds Apple Home control — switch HomeKit devices from iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch and Mac

Timix, an app available for iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch and Mac, has introduced direct control for devices integrated into Apple Home. That means you can now use Timix to toggle lights, run scenes and operate other HomeKit devices from the Timix interface instead of switching apps.

The developer has rolled out a number of improvements and feature expansions since our last mention; the Apple Home integration is the most notable addition. Timix aims to simplify common tasks by letting users control smart‑home gear alongside timers, reminders or other Timix functions.

Key features of the update

• Direct Apple Home / HomeKit control from Timix on iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch and Mac.
• Ability to switch lights, activate scenes and control other HomeKit‑registered accessories without leaving the app.
• Improved workflow for combining Timix actions with smart‑home commands (e.g., triggering a scene when a timer ends).

Practical notes

• You may need to grant Timix permission to access HomeKit devices — check the app’s prompts and iOS/macOS privacy settings.
• Some advanced automations may still be better handled in the Home app or via Shortcuts, but Timix offers a useful quick‑control option.
• If you rely on multiple homes or complex scenes, test the integration to confirm devices and names map correctly after setup.
