A smart home that actually understands what's going on.
Every feature runs on the box in your house. These are real screens from our 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?"
Ask the porch
Say the wake word and ask: "Is the garage shut?", "What's the weather tomorrow?", "Turn the porch light on." PorchIQ answers on the speaker in the room. Give each assistant its own name, voice and personality.
- Wake word on your own speakers and microphones
- Answers on the speaker in the room
- Doors and locks always ask first
"Hey Porch, is the garage shut?"
Yes. Both garage doors are shut and the back door is locked. It's 41° outside, so I've left the porch light on.
Turn the porch light off at eleven.
Done. Porch light off at 11:00 PM tonight.
Answered on the Kitchen speakerAutomations in plain words
"Turn on the porch light when a car pulls in after sunset" becomes a working automation you can read, test and switch off. PorchIQ shows you what it would have done last week before you turn it on.
- Shows exactly what it will do before saving
- Saves into Home Assistant, so it keeps running even if PorchIQ is off
- Locks, garage doors and alarms always ask first
Turn on the porch light when a car pulls in after sunset, then off after 10 minutes.
- When a vehicle is seen on Driveway camera
- Only after sunset
- Turn on Porch light, wait 10 min, turn it off
Cameras that tell you what happened
Instead of 40 motion alerts, you get "A delivery driver left a box at the front door" or "Two deer crossed the back paddock." The descriptions are written by AI running on your own box, so the footage never goes to a cloud.
- Live view in under a second, straight from your camera system
- Quiet hours and per-camera rules
- Replays the clip right under the sentence
- 7:42 amFront door. A delivery driver left a box on the porch and drove off in a white van.
- 8:10 amDriveway. Mom's SUV arrived. The garage door opened for her.
- 11:26 amBack paddock. Two deer crossed toward the tree line.
- 2:03 pmSide gate. Gate opened by the pool service. Closed 14 minutes later.
Find anything you've seen
Type "red pickup" or "someone with a ladder" and see every matching moment across every camera, newest first.
- Search by words, not timestamps
- Narrow by camera, house or day
- Zoom into any frame
Knows the cars that come and go
Tell it once, "This is the blue SUV we own", and it labels every past and future visit. A car it hasn't seen before stands out, so you notice the one that matters.
- Label a vehicle once, past visits update too
- Matches by description as well as plate
- Plate reading is off until you turn it on
- TodayBlue SUV (ours). Arrived 5:41 pm. 3 visits this week.
- TodayWhite van. Delivery, 11:02 am. Stayed 2 minutes.

Sprinklers that check the forecast

- Several houses and controllers on one page
- Run, pause or skip any zone
- See rain coming before the next run
Rain likely tomorrow from 8 AM, about half an inch.
