Getting started

Join the beta on TestFlight and install Maestro on your iPhone — the watch app comes with it (if it doesn't appear, add it from the Watch app). On the iPhone, tap Use Apple Home for HomeKit, or Connect Home Assistant with your server address. No home yet? Try the demo.

Home Assistant note: sign in with an admin account — HA only lets admins list rooms and devices. A non-admin account can toggle devices but sees an empty room list.

Painting well

On the watch, pick the room you're standing in, then tap a device to paint it. Sweep your arm like you're spray-painting the device, and wander a little between the spots where you'd actually use it — painting from several positions is what makes pointing work from anywhere. If the watch says "too still," take two steps and keep going.

Pointing and snapping

Arm extended, finger at the device — like showing it to a friend. Maestro follows your forearm, not the watch screen. When the screen shows "Snap → device", snap your fingers.

Snaps not registering? Open Settings on the watch and try Tap or Double tap instead — wrists vary. The Impulse readout (enable Dev readouts) shows what your snaps measure.

Room detection

Maestro figures out which room you're in from how you point and from a Bluetooth fingerprint captured while painting. It gets sharper as you paint more rooms. To override it, pick a room on the rooms page — it stays pinned until you tap Auto or clearly move elsewhere.

A snap buzzed but nothing happened

That buzz is Maestro declining to guess. The watch shows why: pointing at something unpainted, two devices overlapping (repaint one of them from a different spot), or the room context looking wrong. The paint page badges devices that need a repaint.

Send feedback

Beta testers: feedback goes through TestFlight — take a screenshot in Maestro and tap "Share Beta Feedback", or open the TestFlight app → Maestro → Send Beta Feedback. Your note arrives with the device and version details attached, which is exactly what makes bugs fixable. Crashes offer to send themselves — please let them.
