Current release
Vulpo 1.2: Apple Watch, Whisker and More.
Vulpo 1.2 brings the full Vulpo experience to Apple Watch and reworks large parts of the iPhone, iPad and Mac apps.
- Vulpo on your wrist: Glances, favorites, scenes and pinned cards in swipeable pages you arrange from the iPhone; control lights, covers, climate, fans, locks, media, vacuums and alarms with surfaces built for the Digital Crown; scrub sensor history; put any entity on the watch face; works on its own over Wi-Fi or LTE
- Whisker (Vulpo Labs, Pro): point the watch at a lamp, switch, fan, blind, speaker or TV and double-tap to control it, with a targeting radar and undo; requires Apple Watch Series 9, Ultra 2 or newer
- Glances come alive: every glance detail opens on a living picture of the home (lights skyline, climate band, spinning records, motion radar, security ring), tap any part to filter
- Manage your areas: the new Areas screen in Settings creates, renames and deletes areas by floor, moves entities and whole devices, and sweeps unassigned entities into place
- Alarm Panel card (Vulpo Labs, Pro): animated state detail, glass keypad that never stores codes, alarm status in the Security glance, arming from the wrist
- Make it yours: eight appearance presets with card tint, grain and an intensity slider, synced across devices (colored presets are Pro); Dynamic Light Colors tints light icons with the bulb's real color
- Group widget: up to eight entities as live, tappable tiles on one widget
- Live Activities leveled up: buttons to adjust the thermostat and pause, resume or stop appliances; a new vacuum monitor with progress, battery and current room; per-monitor status and a built-in guide
- Build dashboards faster: adding a card jumps straight to the entity, Add Card search finds entities, collapsible sections, size picker on long press
- A steadier connection: drops are detected in about 20 seconds, reconnects retry on their own, and a second server address takes over when the first fails
- Energy: per-device costs derived from the grid tariff, hour by hour; calendar ranges (Today, This Week, This Month, This Year) on chart details and statistics cards
- Hold-to-open for locks with a latch; vacuum, mop or both per run; custom person photos uploaded to Home Assistant
- Performance pass across launch, dashboards, pickers and the Energy tab, plus a much smoother Mac app
- Dutch localization, proofread by tvdsm
Vulpo 1.1.5: Energy, Media Library and More.
Vulpo 1.1.5 introduces the Energy tab, a full media library browser and entity renaming that applies everywhere.
- Energy, live in 3D (Vulpo Labs, Pro): the Home Assistant Energy Dashboard as a 3D scene of your neighborhood with the sun's real path and live power flows; usage, sources, costs and a per-device heatmap; edit the energy setup in the app
- Browse your media library: albums, playlists and shows with search and filters, play or queue anything, group speakers for multi-room audio
- Rename once, applies everywhere: rename any entity from the Entity Browser; names and custom icons apply across cards, glances, rooms and Lumen, and sync to all devices
- Smarter vacuum control: clean specific rooms, run app routines, detailed live status, zoomable map, maintenance counters
- Charts rebuilt: min-max band with scrub readout, baselines at true zero, shared scales for sensors with the same unit, landscape everywhere
- Rooms and Glances: room cards show active entity counts and live temperature; tap summary pills in glance details to filter; choose which entities each room shows
- Add to Dashboard from the Entity Browser, cover icons by device class, climate refinements, a better Entity Browser, Lumen tap confirmation
- French (Canada) localization, thanks to Pascal
