How do you use JavaScript to detect the homepage

I just posted an answer to another question about how to do it.

In your case, assuming you used body_class() in your theme, your home page should have a <body> with class home to it.

So in your JS, you can:

if( $('body.home').length ){
  // Do stuff
}
