## What is HomeWizard?

Control your home using the iPhone or iPad!

The HomeWizard app requires a HomeWizard* (device). 

The HomeWizard connects your iPhone/iPad to existing wireless systems from various manufacturers such as  KlikAanKlikUit, Cresta, TFA, Somfy and Wattcher. The HomeWizard makes it possible to control lights and other devices using your iPad or iPhone. It’s also equipped to send push notifications when your doorbell is pressed and is even capable to receive data from wireless weather station equipment or real-time energy measuring devices. The HomeWizard app can also be used to control your curtains, blinds or garage doors. The app connects with your own WiFi network for internet access and automatic firmware updates. With our HomeWizard Online service you can easily connect to your HomeWizard wherever you are, whenever you need to (www.homewizard.nl/homewizardonline).  

In short HomeWizard allows you to:
- Toggle lights and other home appliances using wireless switches.
- Add IP-camera's to view a live feed from your house, anywhere you are, with the possibility to control your lights/house at the same time. 
- Control your thermostat and set the right temperature in your house while driving home.  
- Create scenes to toggle multiple lights with the tap of a button and add timers to automate your home appliances.
- Enable our easy to use ‘Awareness System’ to send notifications when surface mount contacts, motion detectors, smoke dectectors and doorbells are activated. Link these with a camera to receive a snapshot when a sensor is activated!
- With 'Actions', you can control your lights on the basis of various conditions such as time and sensor activity: make sure all your lights turn on when a motion detector is activated, but only between 24.00 and 07.00 and turn them off again after 5 minutes!
- Support for KlikAanKlikUit and Elro switches, dimmers, and other receivers.
- Receive  temperature, wind, precipitation and UV data from compatible weather sensors and plot the data in graphs.
- Measure your electricity consumption in real-time or monitor the energy generated by your solar panels.
- Control Somfy RTS receivers which are widely used for automated sunblinds, curtains and garage doors.

*The HomeWizard Device is available for purchase at www.homewizard.nl

With HomeWizard's introduction it has finally become easy, affordable and most of all, fun, to automate your home. As opposed to the Toon from Eneco, the Nuon E-manager, Tahoma from Somfy or the e-inzicht and e-thermostaat from Essent, HomeWizard is an independent platform without hidden recurring fees. It is invented, designed and produced in the Netherlands by entrepreneurs who use their product on a daily basis. You wouldn't be the first one to appreciate this difference, try it out for yourself!

## Key features

### 1/5 — Broken on iPad os?

*2019-10-06, version 3.10.2*

Seems to be broken on the new iPad os

### 2/5 — Support, What support!

*2018-11-22, version 3.10.2*

Have had the product and the app for what seems like ever trying to get it sorted out. Btw I have a technical background from a past life and very disappointed. I’m having to strap lots of different apps to protect my home while away. €99 waste of money without support??? Pushed to give it 2 but at least I have a good looking box to add to the collection of over promised tech that doesn’t do as it says on the box.

### 5/5 — Versatile and Reliable

*2018-04-25, version 3.10.2*

I have been using the HomeWizard app along with my base station for at least 2 years now. Other than having to replace batteries in some matching transmitters, this has never missed a beat. These guys are way ahead of the competition. Others are just starting.

### 1/5 — Don't upgrade!

*2015-11-28, version 3.4.0*

I was happily using this app for a few weeks until it automatically upgraded to this version. It never worked since! I tried to contact app support. They are ignoring requests for help. No replies from homewizard team. I had automatic lights and other receivers programmed for testing which were going off in the middle of the night. Luckily I was able to de-activate them via web app. So I am stuck with the system I spent around £300 which I am not able to operate and no help from homewizard!

### 4/5 — Needs fixing

*2015-04-21, version 3.0.0*

Graph does not display on ipad2 running 6.1.2. Would be nice to have a notification option in "schedule/add new schedule/code/then" and also more actions like turn on/off a device as well as being able to change the profile with a code.

### 3/5 — Good Product

*2015-02-15, version 2.9.9*

I bought two in November. One for home and one for my parents. We both think the product itself is good and the app is easy to use. After service is shocking though and any contact I've tried to make since purchase has been ignored. Can't find out how to operate the HomeEasy Heating Control from the app which I was promised pre-sale would be easy.

### 5/5 — Mooi design!!

*2014-11-21*

Ik vind het iOS 7/8 design erg mooi.
Het is een goed werkende app.

Maar wacht nog wel op iPhone 6 plus support!

### 5/5 — Wayne

*2014-06-27, version 2.8.6*

Fantastic , works really well , could do with slight improvements , even supports ip cameras

### 4/5 — Time Zone support

*2014-02-20*

Great App, but it would be great if it had local Time Zone support (it is hard adjusting Sydney, Australia time when it is hard wired to  the Netherlands).

### 5/5 — Great!

*2013-11-21, version 2.6.0*

Just been using this while away in Europe, links all home automation products together-cant wait to get my hands on the UK model!

### 3.9.1 — 2017-12-06

* Resolves a navigation bar rendering issue when running on iPhone X

### 3.9.0 — 2017-08-21

* Adds support for our new Remote
  You can now pair it with the HomeWizard so that the remote
  can be used to cycle between presets.
  You can find it under the Switches & lights category.
  When editing, all remotes are found at the top of the list
  under the Switches and lights category in Manage Devices.

  Important! Please be aware that due to the nature of the Remote, it
  is added as a sensor and such is also bound to that sensor
  limit and not that of the switches limit. So if you have
  reached the limit of 20 kakusensors, then you must remove
  a motion/light/contact/smoke/water or doorbell sensor and
  not a switch.

* Fixes various translation issues.

* Fixed a number of memory issues.
