Home+ app for iPhone

I use the Home+ app when I need automation triggers Apple Home doesn’t support—like battery level. In this video, it’s how I build a low-battery alert for my smart shades and then trigger a visible warning using my Aqara hub light.

Pros

+Enables automations based on accessory state like battery level
+Great for pushing HomeKit automations a step further when Apple Home falls short

Cons

-Requires a separate app since Apple Home can’t use battery status as a native trigger
-Battery-level triggers have to be set up one device at a time (in my setup)
