Fantastic for home automation
Been using this for a few weeks now and absolutely love it. I'm sending commands to control4 and activating scenes in my house as well as turning on and off my nest thermostat and TVs. It's great to be able to turn things on from the iOS curtain menu instead of actually launching an app when you just want the outside lights on in a hurry.
Thank you.
Update for geo-fencing. So exited by this new feature. saves potentially hundreds on other people's software.

This app is amazing!
I'm so happy to use this app on my pebble to control my WeMo devices. I've waited for an app like this since I bought my first pebble. Worth every penny!
Great app but you need to know what you are doing
Simply put this app gives you ways to send out signals to your wifi bulbs, as well as fire off HTTP requests to other systems.
It is not an “all in one light bulb remote” your mum can use. There are plenty of those on the App Store already.
What it gives you is another “thing” to talk to the rest of your “things” you have in your home. So if you have experience with home automation then you will probably find a lot of value in this neat little app.
For instance I use the excellent today widget feature to be able to quickly access buttons to turn off all downstairs lights. I use the built in MiLight controls for the lights, but also send a HTTP request to my home automation (openHAB) server, which in turn sends a request to the Logitech Harmony Hub to turn off the the TV, amp and MacMini.
The speed of the today view buttons doesn’t get enough attention. Because having to find and open an app to adjust your lights takes far too long. Being able to tap the home or power button and slide the today view down (without unlocking) is bliss.
The interface could do with a bit of work though. The “add action” words are in fact a button, not a title of the screen you are on. So please if possible, put a border around it to show it is a button :)

This app is remarkable!!!
This app is an absolute steal and truly remarkable. It is uncluttered and simple to setup, yet incredibly powerful and feature complete. I use it to control a broad array of controls using HTTP calls, including my building front door, my elevator, numerous lights, remote router reboot, and various relays. The voice recognition works flawlessly, as well as the widget, on all my devices, and even on my Apple Watch it provides buttons AND full voice control.
I use an INSTEON hub and a couple raspberry pi's running Apache webserver w/ cgi scripts , as well as my net-connected building intercom system, and some kankun wifi plugs. Most any device these days has http command capability which can be discovered by googling; so for most any connected device this app can be used as a remote control.
The app is bug-free in my experience (though other users note a loss of myligwht function under iOS 9). iCloud sync just works - without any setup or preference panels at all.
I hope the developer sticks with this project, as it is sort of one of a kind. I use it several times daily and pretty much depend on it by this point.
Much gratitude to the dev for creating this work -- thank you thank you!

Really useful with Indigo home automation software
Having set up Home Remote to talk to my Indigo home automation software, my wife and I have been using it on our Apple Watches and iPhones, and I've been using Home Remote Remote on my Mac as well with complete success. Particularly impressive is that my wife regularly uses it to set the alarm, unlock the door, raise the thermostat, etc. This is the first program that she has accepted to this extent so I give the WAF an A+. I also like the way the app syncs over iCloud with all my devices and the ability to edit and move the configurations between my wife and me is very convenient. Highly recommended!!

Very Nice Job!
For quite awhile I've been looking for one app to controll my Wemo and Hue devices. Now I've found it. This is a very good app that does exactly what I was looking for. I see so much potiential with this and look forward to future enhancements to make it even better. A few things I'd like to see is to be able to use a picture icon rather than text. Also for toggle settings maybe the icon would glow if the device is on and not glow when the device it off. I've also noticed that the buttons get a bit wonky on the iPad's widget screen. Maybe that can be corrected in the next release. Other than that I absolutely love the app and it's companioin app on the Mac!

Incredible app
Gives Belkin and especially Hue a run for their money
Brill.
Works great in the home screen. Allows me to quickly turn on my lights when at home instead of fiddling around opening the apps. Customer service support was fantastic, helping sorting my set up late on a Sunday night.
Awesome stable app with lots of features!
The developer is super responsive and helpful and it's very easy to integrate into EventGhost or a custom web server for voice commands. I'm looking forward to see what he does next!
Awesome app
This app is great for controlling my LimitlessLEDs. From using presets from Notification Centre, to voice activation from my Apple watch, this app is really well though out. Look forward to trialling iBeacons in a few room to test out location based triggers. Great support, with any questions, answered by the developer within hours.
