Hestia

Hestia controls your Shelly smart-home devices (Gen2 and later) directly on your local network, over HTTP, through their built-in API. No cloud, no account, no telemetry: nothing leaves your network, by default.

Features:

• Device dashboard: plugs, multi-outlet strips and smoke detectors, with state, consumption and switch. One tap opens a quick sheet, the full detail is one tap further.
• "On for X" timer executed by the device itself, fully autonomously (the phone can be turned off).
• Planning (recurring or one-time), with an optional power-threshold cutoff, for example at the end of a charge.
• Presence simulation: a script generated by the app runs on the device and switches on/off within a time window, with a random margin.
• Smoke detectors: state, battery, alarm mute, and the option to automatically cut a plug off during an alarm.
• Configurable physical button and LED on plugs.
• Firmware update from the app: check, install, restart the device.
• Backup and restore of your configuration in JSON format.

Options, all off by default and explained in Settings:

• Instant notifications via ntfy, sent by the devices themselves.
• Shelly Cloud: remote fallback for state and on/off, using your account key.
• Automatic firmware check, for devices that have Shelly Cloud enabled.

Privacy:

• Communicates only with the addresses you enter yourself.
• No network discovery, no tracking.
• The three options above are the only ones that send data outside your local network, and only if you turn them on.
• On Android 17 and later, the local network access permission is requested on first contact, preceded by a clear explanation.

Language: the app is available in French and English, and follows the system language (English by default, French if the device is set to French).
