Editor's Overview

Hestia is a remote controller application developed by kapoue, packaged as a single Android APK of version 2.9 weighing in at 4.48 MB. The package targets Android 4.1+ and above. Below you'll find the publisher's own description, a quick spec sheet, and a short buyer-beware checklist so you know exactly what you're installing before tapping download.

Install Checklist

Only download through the button on this page — never from third-party mirrors or shortened links, which are the most common way malware spreads.
File size is a light 4.48 MB, so it installs quickly even on modest connections.
This build is signed by "kapoue" — always verify the developer name matches what's listed on the app's official store page before installing an update.
After install, Android may prompt you to allow "Install from unknown sources" — approve only this one install, then revoke the permission in Settings > Apps > Special access.
We link directly to the APK file or the publisher's repository; we do not modify the binary. Always run a virus scan after any sideloaded install.

About this app

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:

* Channel dashboard with state and switch, at a glance.
* "On for X" timer executed by the device itself, fully autonomously (the phone can be turned off).
* Presence simulation: a script generated by the app runs on the device and switches on/off within a time window, with a random margin.
* Planning (recurring or one-time), with an optional power-threshold cutoff.
* Backup and restore of your configuration in JSON format.
* Optional instant notifications via ntfy (off by default).

Privacy:

* Communicates only with the addresses you enter yourself.
* No network discovery, no tracking.
* 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).

Independence: Hestia is an independent project, with no connection to Shelly or Allterco Robotics. It is neither commissioned, sponsored, nor endorsed by Shelly. No payment and no hardware were provided or lent by the brand. Shelly is a registered trademark of its respective owner; it is mentioned only for technical compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Hestia free to download?
Yes. The APK file linked from this page is free. The developer may offer in-app purchases once installed, but obtaining the installer itself costs nothing.

What Android version does Hestia require?
Android 4.1+ or newer. Installing on older devices may cause crashes or refuse to install.

Is Hestia safe to install?
We link to the exact APK published by kapoue. We do not modify the file. Still, as with any sideloaded app, scan it with a reputable antivirus before opening it, and only grant permissions the app genuinely needs.

How do I update Hestia?
Install the newer version on top of the old one — Android will keep your data. If the signature differs, uninstall first (you may lose local progress).

Why is the app not installing?
Common causes: not enough storage, an older Android version than 4.1+, or a conflicting build already installed. Free up space, check your OS version, and uninstall any previous copy before retrying.
