Smart home intelligence, reimagined.
Your cameras, locks, lights, weather, energy, sprinklers and the pool, in one beautiful app that explains what's happening in plain words. It runs on a small computer in your house, so nothing leaves the porch.
- No card for the trial
- Built on Home Assistant
- Keeps working when the internet doesn't
"Motion detected" tells you nothing.
Most smart homes buzz your pocket all day and leave you to work out why. PorchIQ tells you what happened, in a sentence.

PorchIQ A delivery driver came through the gate, left a box on the porch and drove off in a white van. 4:12 PM · Front door
The gate closed behind them. Everything's locked.
Every screen is designed to be the best part of your day.
These are real PorchIQ screens, running on a demo house.
The whole house at a glance
Open PorchIQ and the house tells you how it's doing in one line: what's on, what's locked, how warm it is, and what's coming up. Switch between houses with a tap.
- Every house on one account
- Lights, locks, doors, climate and weather in one row
- Install it on your phone, tablet and computer
Weather that looks like the sky outside
The sky moves with the sun, the clouds and the rain at your house. Hour-by-hour forecasts, radar, air quality and official weather warnings, with a plain sentence on top: "Rain likely from 8 AM, about half an inch."
- Live sky from sunrise to sunset
- Official alerts for every house
- Feeds your sprinkler and pool schedules
See where the power is going
A live gauge shows what the house is using right now, and a flow map shows exactly where it goes: the pool pump, the kitchen, the barn. Pick your electric company and PorchIQ prices it with your real rates.
- Live use, today and this month
- Power flows by floor, room and device
- Know when the generator or solar takes over
Pool and spa, beautifully simple
Your pool and spa drawn as they are, with the water temperature right on top. Start heating before you get home, run the waterfall, or switch the lights for the evening.
- Pool, spa and air temperatures
- Pumps, heaters, lights and features
- Works with Jandy iAquaLink
Lights that follow the sun
Every light in the house, room by room, with one-tap moods like Warm evening, Movie night and Good morning. Circadian lighting shifts the colour through the day, and motion turns things on only where you are.
- Circadian colour through the day
- Moods for the whole house or a room
- Finds duplicate lights and tidies them up
Every way into the house, on one screen
See what's locked, shut or left open across every house. Anything that opens the house asks "Are you sure?" first and is written to an activity log, so nothing happens by accident.
- Locks, garage doors, gates, smoke and water sensors
- Activity log of who did what and when
- Basic controls keep working offline
Rewind the whole property
Drag a slider and watch the day replay: who was home, which lights were on, what was locked, what was playing, and every camera at that moment.
- Every camera, lock and sensor on one timeline
- Jump back a minute or two weeks
- Great for "when did the gate open?"
Just say it.
Say the wake word in any room and ask. PorchIQ answers on the speaker next to you. Type it on your phone if you'd rather. Describe an automation in a sentence and it builds it, shows you what it would have done last week, and waits for your OK.
- Name your assistants and give each its own voice
- Anything that opens the house asks first
- Runs on your box: what you say stays home
Is the garage shut?
Yes. Both garage doors are shut and the back door is locked.
Heat the spa for eight o'clock.
Done. The spa will be at 101° by 8:00 PM.
Who came by today?
A delivery van at 11:02, and the pool service from 2:00 to 2:40.
Will it rain tomorrow?
Likely from 8 AM, about half an inch. I've skipped the morning sprinklers.
Every corner of the house, finally on speaking terms.
