So much better than Apple’s Home App

Takes the training wheels off. For power users.

Works Very Well

It’s the best tool for working with the “revived” Insteon. The ability to import would be nice.

Good, but connection issues

This version of Touch works as well for me as the 2.xx versions with one exception: when the app connects via Bonjour something happens to the png files. It can’t find some and others are the wrong sizes. The web page version displays normally. I resolved this by manually entering the database file via https. Is Touch finding a previous version of the database via Bonjour? I looked on both my iPad and the Mac mini server without finding one. I tossed all previous versions of Indigo and their app support files. I also tossed all affected png files from the device folder and reentered.

Disappointed

With the upgrade to the latest version, voice controls do not work with the companion app, Indigo Touch. Supposidly there's a workaround but I haven't been able to get that working. In my opinion, that should be built in to the app and not require other solutions.

Very powerful, the best.

I have been using Indigo for more than 10 years to control every system in my house, including lighting, alarm, HVAC, AV, irrigation, security, etc. It is very well-designed, incredibly powerful and completely reliable. It is by far the best home automation system control I’ve ever used, including the old corporate standbys of Crestron and Control4. Indigo is far more flexible and intuitive to program. The devs are continually growing and updating Indigo’s capabilities and there is a formidable community of users who also contribute greatly to the system by way of professionally functional plugin-ins that address many broad and niche uses for a wide variety of devices, the most I’ve ever seen. All the major control systems are compatible and fully integrated into Indigo. Can’t recommend highly enough.
