  • Wow! excellent app and easy to use!

    I have been looking for something like this for hours! It works really well (have been able to create a little app that talks with MQTT to control mini-split air conditioning via an Arduino connected to MQTT also). For sure some reading is necessary to create the UI but it’s really versatile!
  • Excellent app

    On looking for a replacement for my iRule setup, it appears that HomeRemote will replace it easily. Plus the app can run on a Windows Tablet/PC.
  • Great with SmartThings

    I needed a front end for my SmartThings based home automation and this works perfectly! Use the desktop designer app to get started, then save your work and restore the file on your iOS device.

    Can't wait to wall-mount my iPad!
  • Great idea but awkward to use

    I have two separate Lutron bridges and only one can be configured to use with this app. Once you’ve given it a Lutron email address, you cannot add another Lutron address and you can’t even remove the old address so there’s no way to support multiple Lutron bridges.
  • Powerful and versatile

    After trying most of the big names for home automation app on the appstore, this is THE most powerfully and configurable app on the market.
    The developer is one of the most responsive and open to novelties.
    Thanks for this beautiful app
  • Horrible

    The functionality of this app is not practical.
  • Awesome App

    How awesome is it to have one app that controls all of my devices. I don't have to use the Honeywell app and the Chamberlain app and the Harmony app... Etc etc. I can use one to control them all. Everything seems to work well, quick response from my devices. I wish there were some more personalization options, and I'm a little concerned about inputting all my info into the app, but it seems to all run through the secure third party sites. So far it's awesome

  • Hidden Gem for the Wink Hub

    I also stumbled across this app because I was looking for something that would work for my iPad since wink does not create an app for an iOS device other than the iPhone. I'm always a little disappointed with wink but I'm slowly finding other apps make it a better value. With this app full control of wink hub and other devices. I recommend it. My suggestion is to work a little bit on the interface it looks a little dated but has potential. I would also like to be able to lay out blueprints of my home and put devices on top. Would also like to see smart tiles or the ability to customize icons and use tiles for turning devices on and off

  • Works for me!!

    I have this installed on iPhone, iPad, and Fire Tablet. I am able to add Wink and have control of my lights and thermostat. I can see the status of my window/door sensors. I can see battery levels on all sensors and open/closed state on window/door sensors. I added my Hue and Lifx bulbs and have full control of them. Added Logitech Harmony hub and have remote control of my television. I added my 2 Foscam and 3 Wansview cameras and can view live images of them. All this is from within the app without going the extra steps to use a desktop computer and the free designer software from the developer. Have not taken time to explore the desktop program but looking forward to see what can be done to customize the screens. The developer was very quick to respond when I had a question. I don't understand why there are not more people talking about this app on the various home automation groups on Facebook.

  • Great app! Hidden gem.

    I stumbled on this app one day looking for a desktop version for my wink devices. Please continue work on this. It has great potential!
