Collections

Collections let you group accessories from different rooms — even different homes — into custom views on your dashboard.

Why use collections

• Group "All Lights" across every room
• Create a "Guest Controls" set for visitors
• Build a "Bedtime" view with bedroom lights, thermostat, and locks
• Share a curated set of devices via link

Create a collection

1. In the dashboard sidebar, go to Collections and click the + button
2. Name the collection (e.g., "Living Room Lights")
3. An accessory picker appears — select accessories from any home or room

Free plan

The free plan supports up to 10 accessories total. The Standard plan removes that limit.

Organize within a collection

Groups — Subdivide a collection into named sections (e.g., "Upstairs," "Downstairs"). Click "Add Group" within the collection, then drag accessories between groups.

Reorder — Drag accessories and groups to change their display order.

Background — Set a custom background image per collection, the same way you can for rooms.

Edit a collection

• Rename: Click the collection name in the sidebar to edit it
• Add or remove accessories: Open the collection, enter edit mode, and use the picker
• Delete: Right-click the collection in the sidebar and select Delete

Share a collection

Collections can be shared via link, just like rooms or individual accessories:

1. Open the collection
2. Click the Share button
3. Choose an access type: public, passcode-protected, or user-specific
4. Set the role: view (read-only) or control (interactive)

See Sharing Access for details on all sharing options.

For developers

Collections are also available through the GraphQL API and can be used for webhook event filtering. See the GraphQL reference and Webhooks reference.
