  • Great for DIY; hoping for more

    The app is awesome and has allowed me to do so much after iRule went the way of the dodo.

    There is so much potential to take this to an 11/10. Unfortunately, feature requests are generally ignored and updates have come to a halt.

    Hoping the writing isn't on the wall.
  • Not sure about this app

    It seemed great at first and I even bought the business edition login.

    That said the app appears to only sync a portion (176) of my SmartThings devices (across two hubs and 280 devices). A lot of devices are missing.

    The business edition login doesn’t even seem to work even after paying for it.

    I kinda just gave up on trying to use that particular feature.

    However I am trying to use more but finding it limited since it can only partially sync devices. Hopefully I just missed something that needed to be done or a feature enabled.

  • Works ok so far

    I run my smart home on Hubitat and wanted a better Dashboard to run on a tablet and iphone. This App is functional on my iphone and has allowed integration of Hubitat, Honeywell, Sonos. Its fairly intuitive to set up the basics but some documentation would be helpful. For example, how do you remove a group? I bought the pro version but it looks no different to the free one. There are no instructions in the App on how to import a dashboard created in the desktop designer software. The biggest plus is that its easy to use so my wife will likely use it.

  • Highly Customizable

    I was a user of the now discontinued VeraMate application, and I was looking for a user interface that could give me the data I needed at a glance. I constructed a VeraMate replacement user interface with all of the data and control functions I needed in under two days.

    There is one thing it seems I cannot do, dynamic tile reordering. When a device is "inactive," it will leave a blank space in the device browser. When the device is "active," it will then fill in that space.

    A few notes on customizing:
    The app will run without Designer using default groups.
    Highly customizable with Designer.
    A Windows machine is required to run Designer.
    Designer has a mild learning curve.
    Some programming knowledge is helpful.

    I really like this program, and it definitely fulfilled my needs. If you dig in and learn the Designer operating principles, I think you'll be very happy with the end result.

  • Excellent app and support

    Control all of the devices listed from one, simple to use, app. Download the desktop app and you can modify or build your own design. Works great on IPhone and IPad. The developer is quick to respond if you have an issue. Give it a try - you won’t be disappointed.
  • Not bad

    Not bad, has lot of integration, no widget so only 3 stars
  • This app is a game changer for harmony hub

    I just got a harmony hub and was horrified when I opened the app and saw the layouts for my devices. Thank you for providing a device remote app that actually look like a remote and not a jumbled mess with misspellings.
  • Great Product

    This works great with hubitat, so much that I have retired the dashboards for now and use the home remote. The only thing would be nice if you have Z-wave lights that where turned on manually at the switch you could send out a API call to update all Z-wave lights to show there new state.. I did this on hubitat dashboards that when you enter a Dashboard with Z-wave lights it would use http field to do the API request. Just nice thing to have.
