- 📦HomeFreeze for Homekit version 1.8.0HomeFreeze now speaks Shortcuts and Siri – and after a lot of detailed user feedback, the health checks have learned to stay quiet about things that are not problems. Thank you for the reports!
• New: Shortcuts and Siri. Five actions are now available in the Shortcuts app and to Siri: Create HomeKit Backup, Run HomeKit Doctor, Check Accessory, Compare Latest Backups, and Ignore or Monitor Accessory. Combine them with any trigger – a time of day, leaving home, or a notification from the Home app – and your smart home backs itself up and diagnoses itself. "Create a backup with HomeFreeze" works, too.
• New: Automation Recipes. A gallery of ready-made automations (weekly backup, backup when everyone leaves, run the Doctor when Home reports a problem, verify a flaky device, daily change report). On iOS 27 most of them install with a single tap; every step can be copied with a long press.
• New: automation change detection. Backup comparison now shows what changed inside an automation – its trigger, its conditions and the scenes or devices it sets.
• Improved: far fewer false alarms in HomeKit Doctor. A single HomePod as your only Thread border router is a notice now, not a warning. A device is only reported as slow when it actually ends up slow, instead of any jitter over 50 percent. Firmware mismatches are only reported between units of the same model, not between everything a manufacturer makes.
• Improved: the Coverage Map is now "Automations & Scenes". A device no automation touches is shown in neutral grey, not in red – not being automated is not a fault. Ignored devices no longer appear there.
• Improved: uptime history. Short dropouts that recover within 10 minutes no longer count as downtime, and an accessory that answers but has nothing readable (many remotes and buttons) is no longer counted as offline. This mainly affects Thread devices such as IKEA accessories.
• New: long-press to copy. Automation, scene and accessory names in a backup, every line of an automation's details, and every recipe step can now be copied to the clipboard.
• New: reorder automations. The Edit button in Automations now actually moves entries up and down.
• New: the Thread topology map labels every device without tapping it.
• Fixed: Settings › Storage showed 0 KB even with backups on the device.… more - 🆕HomeFreeze for Homekit: its developer released another app: Keepwise – Garantie & Belege

About HomeFreeze for Homekit
HomeFreeze is the backup and monitoring tool that Apple never built for HomeKit. It captures your entire smart home configuration -- homes, rooms, accessories, scenes, automations, zones, and service groups -- so you always have a reference point if something goes wrong. Please be aware of API and Backup/Restore limitations of Apple.
FULL CONFIGURATION SNAPSHOTS
Create point-in-time backups of your complete HomeKit setup, including accessory metadata, services, characteristic values, scene actions, automation triggers, and more. Compare any two snapshots side-by-side to see exactly what changed, with tap-to-expand details for every modification.
RESTORE ASSISTANCE
Recreate rooms, zones, scenes, and service groups from any backup. HomeFreeze tells you exactly what to set up so you can rebuild your smart home with confidence.
SHORTCUTS & SIRI
Five HomeFreeze actions in the Shortcuts app and in Siri: create a backup, run the HomeKit Doctor, check one accessory, compare the last two backups, ignore or monitor a device. Trigger them by time of day, by leaving home, or from a Home app alert, and your smart home backs itself up and diagnoses itself. A built-in recipe gallery installs ready-made automations in one tap.
LATENCY MONITOR
Measure how quickly every accessory responds and identify slow devices that could impact your automations. Results are color-coded (green, orange, red) with per-device scene and automation tags so you know exactly which workflows are at risk. Run continuous measurement iterations for more reliable averages. Save sessions to history for trend comparison.
SLEEPING DEVICE DETECTION
Battery-powered devices like Tado TRVs and sensors that report as unreachable due to sleep mode are displayed separately from truly unreachable devices. No more false alarms -- know the difference between a real problem and normal behavior.
ISSUES & IMPACT ANALYSIS
When devices go unreachable or become blocked, HomeFreeze shows you the full impact: which scenes won't execute and which automations are affected. Tap the issue count on the Dashboard for instant diagnostics.
MATTER & THREAD TOPOLOGY
Visualize your Thread network with an interactive topology diagram showing border routers, routers, and end devices. Discover Thread Border Routers via live mDNS scanning with network name, Thread version, and Extended PAN ID details. Monitor border router availability in the background.
CODE VAULT
Securely store HomeKit, Matter, and Thread setup codes. Scan QR codes from device packaging, attach label photos, and organize entries with tags. Protected by Face ID / Touch ID and AES-256-GCM encryption with keys stored in the iOS Keychain.
HOME MANAGEMENT
Browse your complete HomeKit environment in real time. View every service and characteristic for any accessory. Rename, reorder, and delete rooms, scenes, and automations directly from the app. Your custom order is saved per home.
