Small fix for some UI issues related to text color

User reviews

The real deal!

I am so glad that someone actually took the time to create this app, and do so professionally and keeping it so close visually and functionally to the actual HCA program. Best of all, it all works just as it should!

This app is a must have for anyone that uses Home Control Assistant, I highly recommend it!

Great Job

Thanks for building this app to interface to the HCA Server! Can I ask for a new feature? I would love to see support for custom icon sets (both on and off state)

HCA iOS app OUTSTANDING!

Works like a charm. Easy to install and use. I use it all the time from everywhere. Works great with HCA 12, which is also outstanding!

Not connecting to server

Not even clear if this is written by HCA or is by some third party.

Great App!

This app is a great add-on for the HCA Server application. It is extremely fast, and looks great on both the iPhone and iPad! The UI is much cleaner than any of the other Insteon-supported apps out there, and much more touch-friendly; thanks to larger icons.

It renders displays based on the design of the HCA desktop application's Control UI, so it can be customized how ever the user would like to see them.

The response times (between the app and server) are really fast, and the load's response is almost instantaneous. I'm looking forward to support for HTML displays so I can add weather, news, and traffic displays!

Great job!
