Mode Switch for Homey

Want your home to react intelligently without having to build separate flows everywhere?
With this app, you configure your rules once — after that, everything works automatically.

View and test the app: Mode Switch | Homey

What makes this app different?
You no longer need extensive flows for basic automations.

For example:

• Motion detected → light automatically turns on

• No motion → light automatically turns off again

• Everything configurable per zone

• Works instantly, without complex Flow logic

Mode-based automation
Your home automatically adapts to your situation:

• Home / Away / Sleeping / Vacation

Can be changed manually

Or fully automated:

Automatic examples:

• Everyone leaves → Away mode

• Nobody home for X hours → Vacation mode

• Everyone asleep → Sleeping mode

• Someone wakes up or comes home → Home mode

No separate flows needed — everything is managed centrally in the settings.

Smart lighting without the hassle

• Configure lights per zone

• Automatically turn on with motion

• Automatically turn off when no motion is detected

• Adjustable dim levels

Temperature rules

• Automations based on temperature

• For example: control heating or cooling per mode

• Smart combinations with presence and time schedules

Device monitoring (without complicated flows)
Monitor devices such as:

• Washing machine

• Dryer

• Dishwasher

As soon as a device starts or finishes:

• Instant triggers available

• Notifications possible

• Ready to use in Flows

Scheduling & smart time schedules
Let your home automatically react based on time:

• Turn lights on at a specific time

• Only active within a specific mode

• Automatically turn off again after X time

• Random times possible

• Work with time windows

• Support for sunrise and sunset

Screenshots

Modes — Configure which devices turn on or off when the mode changes to Home, Away, Sleeping, or Vacation

Zones & Sensors — Configure rules such as: pantry door open → light on, door closed → light off. Or motion in the hallway → hallway light on. No motion for 20 seconds → light off.

Temperature Rules — Set temperatures per mode, for example: Vacation mode → temperature set to 17 degrees.

Monitoring — Monitor appliances. For example, when a dishwasher starts, a trigger is sent which can be used in a Flow card for notifications. Or when it finishes, another Flow card can announce that the dishwasher is done.

Scheduling — Configure lights on schedules or after sunset, and automatically turn them off again after a set number of hours.

Automatic Mode Switching — Automatically switch all modes. For example, when everyone is away, the mode automatically changes to Away.

Perhaps it would be good to add the link to this topic in the Homey App Store, @Erikje.
Didn’t fint this topic earlier.
Very interesting app, thx!

[Erikje]

I just put V2.7.0 into testing.

Made some adjustments for the Homey App Store so it can also get approved.

I also made an update for the “Mode” widget, so you can display a device with temperature measurement. You can now also enable the weather image as the background and choose how visible you want it to be:

And with the “Monitoring” widget, you can now see how many kWh the device has used and how long it has been running:

Also created tokens so they can be used in flows as well
