Reviews of Home

  • Beautiful, The Best Home App, But Needs More Advanced Automations

    This app is beautiful, sleek, truly a Home app I could only see Apple creating. But it needs even more customization. And definitely more advanced automations, or at least more advanced shortcuts, but the basic automation feature itself needs a lot more options and things like “Turn Off After…” needs a more clear explanation depending on what the user is trying to do.

    Another thing I’d like to see is easier access to rooms (bring back the Rooms tab but reimagine it), and while this next request may be a far away feature — room detection should be a thing, using (possibly?) matter accessories and how well their signal is to determine what room a user is in.

    Overall, great app, needs work always, but I’ll always go to this app to control my home. Even though still have to rely on Google Home to control certain things are run certain automations.
  • Overall happy but very limited

    Overall, I’m happy with the app & layout. It’s not perfect but for the amount of things your trying to manage and control (I have over 100 devices, switches, plugs, etc) it does the basic job.
    My only “complaint” is how limited it is. I can’t set default timers for lights (for example having a pantry light turn off automatically after 10 mins because the kids leave it on a lot), little things like setting dimmers to limit brightness at night (so when I turn on a bathroom light at 2 am, it only goes to 50% by default) or conditionals with more than one condition (such having a garage electric heater on a smart plug for our outdoor cats that sleep in the garage at night to not only come on under a certain temp range but not to come on if the garage door is open during the day OR not to turn on a dimmed light while I’m already in the bathroom to 5% at a set time if the light is already on at full because I got up early).
    As I said… I went all in on the HomeKit thing, and have well over 100 devices on a larger property, and I’m overall glad I did, but short of installing third party apps and devices I’ve read about, it is extremely limited.
  • Great app, has some flaws

    Have nearly 100 HomeKit devices and almost zero problems. Many of these devices are integrated using a raspberry pi with both HomeBridge and Scrypted. Lutron’s native HomeKit switches work flawlessly. Sonos speakers work great in Airplay, but would be nice if there was more information and control from the app. Ring security, Unifi cameras (HomeKit secure video is great through Scrypted), and Honeywell zigbee thermostats work flawlessly with Homebridge. Just make sure to use proper HomeKit naming conventions, especially if you are using Siri. And set up zones and scenes if you want better control. And most importantly, keep your devices and home hubs up to date! The app and Siri could definitely be better and more intuitive. An iOS release or two did break automations that ultimately had to be set up again. So overall, 4 stars since it hasn’t always been a flawless experience.
