User reviews

App doesn’t connect

The app doesn’t connect to hub. No response from developer after having brought the issue to their attention. Its a shame, it would be a handy app.

Response from developer

Hi! Sorry that you are having that issue. I could not find where you contacted me. Did you send an email? Kind regards, Rienk

Excelente, prático e estável

Excelente app. Funcionando perfeitamente com meu Home Assistant Yellow, com 120 dispositivos. Eu estava sem tempo para organizar telas no Home Assistant e esse app pega as configurações de ambientes (rooms) e gera as telas pra mim sem esforços, pois só precisei informar o endereço local e autenticar. RECOMENDO MUITO.
PONTOS FRACOS:
- Só tem o idioma inglês. Pra mim irrelevante porque uso bastante o inglês nos apps para reduzir o tamanho visual das palavras.
- Não tem opção de proteger a entrada do app com Face ID. Ora mim irrelevante porque o celular já é protegido por Face ID

Almost ok(ish)

I read another review where the user said the interface was jittery. The developer replied that he was the only one reporting a jittery interface interface. That’s probably because the interface behavior is closer to an epileptic seizure than it is a jitter. For example, while sliding a dimmer slider, the slider jumps all over the place. And when I let it go, it jumps to a whole different value that I didn’t select. It would also be nice if I didn’t have to tap twice to turn on a light. The app isn’t at a place where I would continue to use it and hope for updates. It’s just simply unusable. But as that other reviewer said, you can sense where the developer wanted to go with this. And it wasn’t a bad idea. Just a bad implementation. I too, will check back in a year or so.

Love the concept

Love the concept of this app. Would happily pay for it if it had a little more polish. Keep at it!

Neat but still an MVP

This is a neat approach to automation editing, however it is far from feature complete. UI is very jittery when connecting to my HA server, it looks like it is updating the UI with every entity it loads. You can only trigger from sensors, sun, alarms, and date/time. Not all domains and components are present in the UI. The UX is not very intuitive, I ended up triggering automations when I tried to edit them.

Might try it again next year if it improves.

Response from developer

Hi Teagan, Thank you for the detailed feedback. The app is designed to only update specific components when there are changes in data from an entity. I have not received any other reports of a jittery UI, so there might have been an issue specific to your experience. I will investigate this further. Currently, I am working hard to add the remaining domains and automation capabilities. Your feedback is much appreciated, and I hope to exceed your expectations when you return (hopefully sooner rather than later ;)). - Rienk
