No Support

Unfortunately the developer does not support this app. I have contacted them through their website 3 times with a question about geofencing and they haven’t had the courtesy to reply. Also you can’t even download the documentation from their site. All you get is a text file pointing you to some ridiculously complicated wiki reader. Would it be so hard to be able to download a pdf ?

Mi-Light

Doesn’t work with Mi-Light, can’t find the bridge on my network. Entered Mac manually and still doesn’t work

Just fantastic - Does exactly what it says

I've been using this app since version 1. It is excellent. A little fiddly to setup but after that it is perfect. I control all my lights using this app on my iPhone and iPad. I have not found any other app (and I have tried them all) that could even attempt to replace this.

Apple Watch support gone

Originally purchased Home Remote for the Apple Watch app, which was great. The app now finally works with iOS 13 but, with no explanation, Apple Watch support has been dropped. Very disappointing. Siri shortcuts is a poor substitute for what used to be a great feature.

Used to be a great app

I’ve used this app loads, however since the update it is now broken on Mi-Light setups. Developer seems to have lost interest sadly

Bad app not working with most of smart devices . There is a good app Iphone only and does the job

Like advertised this app suppose to let you use all devices on smarthome. Its not true

Glitchy

Bought this app with moderate hopes of a functional remote for Mi-Light devices.
App is inconsistent in its program recording/recall. You edit one preset then another corrupts.

Apple Watch remote side of the app has voice control but app needs to be in foreground and open on your main iOS device to implement the commands from the watch.

As I don’t want to run a device with this app constantly open, plus its inability to remember presets you add in.
I’ve put it on the back bench hoping it may be fixed in time...

Wrote to developer a week ago for some support.
Zero reply as yet.

Forget it if you have MiLight Bridge v6

If you bought the MiLight v6 bridge that came out 6mths ago now (to run all of their latest bulbs) then there's no use getting this app - it doesn't support it.
Home Remote have noted in their Feb release notes that they are working on it... but no news since.

Amazing app

Use this app everyday!
