Install the Halu Home app and create an account

Screenshots show the app in Vietnamese. The English app has the same screens, with the buttons in the same places.

What you need

• An Android 10 or later phone with Bluetooth. An iPhone version is in development.
• An email address you can check for the verification code.

Create an account

1. Open the app and, on the sign-in screen, tap Don’t have an account? → Sign up.
2. On Create account, enter your email and tap Get code.
3. Check your inbox and type the 6-digit code on the Enter verification code screen. No email? Check your Spam folder, or tap Resend after 60 seconds.
4. On Set password, choose a password of at least 6 characters and tap Done. You are signed in right away.

Sign in and forgotten passwords

• Sign in with your Email and Password.
• Forgot your password: tap Forgot password? → enter your email → Send code → enter the 6-digit code and a new password → Change password.
• Sign out: Me → tap your name (Personal info) → Sign out. To change your password, sign out and follow Forgot password? above.

Each account can be signed in on one phone at a time — signing in on a new phone signs the old one out. Give each family member their own account and invite them to your home (see Share with your family).

Allow permissions

• Notifications: so you hear when a device goes offline, an automation runs or you are invited to a home.
• Nearby devices (Bluetooth): the app asks when you add or control nearby devices. On Android 11 and older you also need to turn on Location so the phone can find devices — the app does not track your location.

Create a home

1. Go to Me → Manage homes.
2. Tap Create new home, enter a Home name and tap Create.
3. Have more than one place (home, office…)? Tap a home in Manage homes → Switch to move between them. The home in use has a ✓.

Home owners should check Me → Time zone so schedules run at the right time.

Next: Set up the smart hub.
