cool app! wish it integrated with homekit and siri

app works as promised, would like to see homekit and siri integration but its usable and way better than my mi-light ios app

Response from developer

Hi, we're glad you're enjoying the app. Whilst we can't add Siri functionality natively from within the app, this is possible using some third party software. You can see a video with some instructions here: https://youtu.be/yVDUF7GSj28 Best of luck, and feel free to email support if you need any help. Thanks.

Awesome!

This app is awesome! I can add a custom widget and call custom HTTP/TCP commands!

Have you guys thought about adding feedback for buttons? This way I can have a single button for on/off. Could it just be setup to receive a 1 or 0 from a web server or TCP/UDP socket?

Great for geolocation

This is what I've been looking for to trigger Action Groups in Indigo based on my location. The UI could be much better, but the functionality is wonderful. Very reliable.

Fantastic app!

Been using this app for years! It just keeps getting better and better. It's the easiest way to quickly control all my stuff. Best purchase I've made on the app store!

Most useful app I own.

The developer is constantly updating the app with great new features. If you have wifi lights or WeMo switches this is the app you need.

Terrific

The missing link between iPhone and indigodomo

Excellent Product and Support

I purchased this app last night and immediately found it a pleasure to use and easy to set up. It adds a great deal of functionality to the Milight bulb system by allowing you to program macro’s or scenes and have them present to your IOS ‘Today’ screen. You don’t have to go into an app to perform functions. A real convenience. What really helped was the super fast support I received from Gary when I had a slight issue with configuration this morning. He answered my email query immediately and resolved my problem (which was to do with my router setup and not the app).
I can’t speak for the other features, but this app has been thoughtfully put together. Nice work.

Maybe it's brilliant, how do know?

I use a product called easy bulb which is supported, apparently! There is no mention of it.
This is not an intuitive product for the none expert, first the supplied video tutorials are painful to watch as the narrator can't/takes ages to type and has a very flat boring voice.
I'm no technical wiz so it could be just me but I couldn't figure out how this app works. A top line overview would help.
The good news is that it's free,the other alternative I saw was £22 so I would guess they don't enjoy too many sales.
I have to stick with the hard to locate easy bulb app as it's fairly easy to use

Excellent app

I use this app to control my 16 room house, which is fully automated with Indigo. My drive lights come on when my wife enters the area, which is great as it makes her feel safer and we use beacons around the house to manage it in to zones. Brilliant app and easily worth $20. It is complex, but it does so much that is to be expected. Every update makes this app more amazing.

Fantastic...just buy it!

This app is great! I second a previous reviewer's comments about using with indigo home automation software. Using beacons, I found it to be the most reliable presence monitoring app I've tested. Having buttons on the today screen to control devices is just icing on the cake. Pair it with the desktop app, and you've got a real winner.

I had some minor configuration issues when I first purchased, but the developer was awesome in helping me work through them. Can't recommend highly enough!
