Your sliding door, now in Apple Home
The HomeKit Bridge brings SmartSlydr into the Apple Home app. Open and close your door with Siri, set schedules, and automate it alongside your lights, locks, cameras, and every other HomeKit device. It's small enough to tuck next to your HomePod or home hub, so it stays out of sight.
Just say "Hey Siri"
Control your patio door hands-free from the couch. With the HomeKit Bridge, Siri on your HomePod, HomePod mini, iPhone, or Apple Watch can open, close, or set your SmartSlydr to a partial opening, like "Hey Siri, set Patio to 40%" for a little fresh air.
Door and PetPass, right in the Home app
Your SmartSlydr shows up as its own tile in the Apple Home app, next to your HomePod and every other accessory. Tap Patio to open or close the door, and use the Patio PetPass tile to turn pet access on or off. Then build automations in the Automation tab: lock pets in at sunset, let them out at sunrise, or open the door when a HomeKit camera sees you coming.
Why add the HomeKit Bridge
- Native Apple Home control - SmartSlydr shows up in the Home app on iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Watch. No extra app to switch to.
- Hey Siri, open the patio door - Hands-free voice control through HomePod, HomePod mini, or any Apple home hub.
- Door schedules in Apple Home - Set opening and closing times right in the Home app.
- Scenes with your other devices - Add SmartSlydr to scenes like Good Morning or Leaving Home with your lights, locks, thermostat, and more.
- Automate PetPass - Create routines that enable or disable PetPass access, like turning pet access off at bedtime and back on in the morning.
- Smart triggers - Automate from sunrise or sunset, a specific time of day, people arriving or leaving, or your HomeKit cameras and sensors.
How it works
- Plug the bridge into power with the included USB-C cable and adapter.
- Add it to the Apple Home app.
- Your SmartSlydr appears in Apple Home, ready for Siri, scenes, and automations.
SmartSlydr works on its own over Wi-Fi with the SmartSlydr app. The HomeKit Bridge is an optional add-on for Apple Home users. An Apple home hub (HomePod, HomePod mini, or Apple TV) is required for remote access and automations in Apple Home.
