Reef aquarium control, reimagined

Your reef, in one place.

Local control at the tank. Cloud sync when you are away. Automations, devices, and social - without juggling five apps.

Features

Built for reefkeepers who want clarity

The same design language as the OpenReef app - dark glass, cyan accents, cards that match your tank gear.

Lights & dosing

Reef Factory gear, schedules, manual runs, and tank-level overview in one dashboard.

Live parameters

History, alerts, and cloud refresh when Home is online - not a stale screenshot.

Automations

Rules that respect your LAN. Trigger feed modes, night mode, and custom flows.

Multi-tank cloud

Sign in once. Your tanks, roles, and sharing - whether you are on web or phone.

Social & calendar

Share progress, plan maintenance, and keep reef tasks on your radar.

Home Assistant

Export entities and wire OpenReef into the rest of your smart home when you want to.

Product

Desktop depth. Pocket control.

Web gives you the full shell - sidebar, preview rail, and room to work. App is the same brain, tuned for your phone.

OpenReef Web on desktop and OpenReef App on phone - shared dashboard for lights, Reef Mat, wavemakers, and live tank preview

Platforms

Three pieces, one ecosystem

Home bridges your LAN. Web and App share the same account, tanks, and design - pick the screen that fits the moment.

PC at the tank

OpenReef Home

LAN API, Bluetooth where needed, and cloud push. Leave it running on your aquarium network.

  • Device discovery and control
  • Background cloud agent
  • Windows download for reefkeepers

Phone

OpenReef App

Built for quick checks, notifications, and control from the couch or away from home.

  • Fast tank overview and controls
  • Same account as Web
  • Made for one-handed use

How it works

From hardware to cloud in minutes

Three steps. Home stays on your LAN; your account carries tanks and automations to Web and App.

  1. At the tank

    Install OpenReef Home

    Same Wi-Fi as your Reef Factory gear. Sign in once so this PC becomes your LAN bridge.

  2. Cloud link

    Sync live state

    Home pushes fresh snapshots and accepts remote commands when you are not on the aquarium network.

  3. Anywhere

    Web or App

    Log in on phone or browser. Tanks, devices, and automations follow your account - not one machine.
