More than one home

Every widget except Photos has a Home choice. Leave it empty and the widget follows the home that's open in myYam, or pick one, so a single Home Screen can show your house and a holiday home side by side. With more than one home, each widget shows its home's name. A home's widgets fill in once you've opened that home in the app.

Laundry on the Lock Screen

While the washer or dryer runs, a live countdown sits on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island, and goes when the cycle ends. Turn it off in myYam › Settings › Home › Laundry on the Lock Screen.

Pictures are from the demo house. Widgets refresh when you open the app and every few minutes after that; buttons work without opening the app.
