Get around the watch

Everything in AmazHA works with the same few gestures. Learn them once on the demo home, then see how each kind of device is controlled.

Step by step

1. 1

   Tap a chip

   The chips at the top of the home count what is on. Tap one to see those devices in a single list, from every room.

   Swipe right to return to the previous screen, or tap ‹ at the top.

3. 3

   Tap a tile for full controls

   Tap a device's tile to open its own screen. Turn the crown to set the level: a light's brightness goes up in 4% steps.

A screen for every device

• Climate

  Turn the crown to change the temperature by half a degree, and tap a mode to switch it.

  0:26

• Covers

  Open, stop or close with the buttons, or drag the slider, or turn the crown.

  0:29

• Alarm

  Arm it with a tap, in the modes your panel supports. Disarming asks for your code.

  0:32

• Locks

  Tap once, then tap again to confirm: the second tap unlocks.

  0:37

• Media

  Play, pause and skip. The crown sets the volume.

  0:41

• Vacuums

  Start it from your wrist, pause it, or send it back to its dock.

  0:44

• Scenes

  One tap on the tile's switch runs a scene. Scripts and buttons work the same way.

Tip

From version 0.12.15, swipe right to go back on every screen. That includes lights, fans and covers, even across the slider: only moving the slider up or down keeps you on the page. On the media and climate screens, a swipe along the volume bar or the ring moves it, so start your swipe from the title instead. On the screen of a light, a switch or another control, you can also tap anywhere along the top (the ‹ arrow, the name or the room) to go back. On earlier versions, tap ‹ on the screens with a slider.
