SHARE IT WITH YOUR FAMILY
Install the free HKI 7 Cloud integration on your Home Assistant and everything below is stored on your own server — nothing leaves your home.
• Build one dashboard and share it with your family, instead of passing backup files around
• Parental controls: hide views, rooms, or individual entities from specific people
• Per-user permissions for editing, search, and dashboards
• See which HKI version each family device runs, and ask everyone to update
• Follow people room to room with ESPresense or mqtt_room presence sensors
• Parental controls hide things from the app's own interface for family members
SEE WHAT JUST HAPPENED
• Events timeline — the front door opening, a light going off, someone arriving home, each with the time and who did it
• Notifications from your own server, with action buttons you can tap
• Global search across every entity
BATTERY-FRIENDLY PRESENCE
• Event-driven location using geofences instead of continuous tracking
• Presence detection and zone automations with battery usage on par with the official app
• Fully optional — the app works great without location access
