Funktioniert 1A

Da ich den ganzen Tag am Mac sitze mit viele offene Fenster, ist das ein super Tool um mal eben schnell aus der Menüleiste sein Geräte zu steuern. Perfekt.
Als ich ein Problem bei einem update hatte, kurz eine email an den Support und nach grade mal 10 min eine Lösung bekommen. Das ist absolut Top.

Vielen Dank für die netten Worte – es freut uns sehr, dass Itsyhome so gut in deinen Workflow passt! Schön zu hören, dass auch der Support reibungslos war – genau das ist unser Ziel.

Great little app.

Thoughtfully designed in an elegant minimalist way. Add just what you need at your finger tips. Particularly like the included separate cameras visual menu. Nicely done.

Thanks a lot, really glad the camera layout is hitting the mark – that one took some thought to get right. Appreciate you taking the time to leave a review!

Best. Best. Best.

Hab die App aus Neugier geladen. Erst auf dem Mac und dann sofort aufs iPhone. Der Entwickler mach alles ABSOLUT richtig. Alles funktioniert und ist schnell. Es ist übersichtlich und „clean“. Schon fast puristisch. Alle Funktionen sind intuitiv und leicht zu finden. Kein BS. Kein Abo. Auf dem Mac und iPhone absolut perfekt. Widget. Die Funktionen mit den Cams auf dem Mac sind ein Traum. Sobald es klingelt an der Tür, hast du alles auf dem Desk. MEGA. Auf den iPhone ist das super-übersichtlich. Nutze es seit einer Woche komplett, als Ersatz für Apple Home. Danke an den Entwickler.

Vielen Dank für diese tolle Bewertung – das bedeutet mir wirklich sehr viel! Es freut mich besonders, dass Itsyhome für dich ein vollwertiger Ersatz für Apple Home geworden ist. Ich arbeite weiter daran, die App noch besser zu machen!

Top!!

Mega !!! ..genau das Ergebnis was mittlerweile zu erwarten ist, wenn Konzerne mit der Design Abteilung überall die Buttons verstecken und funktionale Sachen die mal top waren, einfach unbenutzbar gemacht haben - dann entstehen solche Apps wie diese hier !! ab der ersten Sekunde intuitiv und ohne Erklärung nutzbar ! Daumen hoch und Höllenrespekt dafür, dass du genau den Nerv der Zeit getroffen!!!

Merci beaucoup pour cet excellent avis – nous sommes ravis que vous profitiez d'Itsyhome ! Nous apprécions votre soutien et nous avons hâte de vous apporter d'autres excellentes fonctionnalités.

Wow! Surprisingly useful!!!

I saw this on reddit and was intrigued. I figured the price was low enough and the app looked good enough that I’d toss some support their way, so I bought it. After a month and continued updates by the developer, it’s really awesome!!! I work from home and just having the easier access to HomeKit controls right from my Mac menu bar is so convenient. I don’t use any of the more technical bits (yet!) but the app is worth the price just for the convenience and ease-of-use it affords. IMO, this is a Mac “Must Have” app.

Thank you for the wonderful review and for supporting Itsyhome!

Great app with frequent improvements

This has been a great app from day one, and totally worth the very reasonable one-time cost for the premium features, especially since the developer keeps putting out frequent updates with new features, and seems very responsive to the user community. I love being able to see my cameras (Ring through Homebridge) and control HomeKit devices right from the menubar on my Macs.

Thank you! I'll continue to improve the app and listen to your feedback – thanks for being a valued user!

Love it

It is so much more convenient to control my smart devices directly from my Mac menu bar instead of hunting for my phone. Totally worth it!

Thank you so much for the great review! Your feedback means a lot to me – please don't hesitate to reach out if you ever need help or have suggestions for future improvements.

Great Homeassistant menu bar

Love having this on my menu bar. It’s easy to setup, just the right level of customizable, and is working flawlessly. Also I love that the paid version is a one time purchase and not a subscription!

Small App - Huge Impact!

I learned about this app on Reddit and as a Home Assistant user, I look for new and innovative ways to make life easier and automated. Dashboards allow great control and can be visually stunning, but when I want to quickly perform a task (turn on a light, adjust the thermostat, etc). I don’t want to have to open a browser, navigate to the dashboard and find the control. This app is super fast, fully configurable and imo the best home assistant add-on I’ve ever seen. The free version is awesome. I’m not sure I really needed the pro version, but I purchased anyway since the cost was minimal, one-time fee (which I love as I hate subscriptions) and I wanted to support/reward the developer. Amazing app!

HASS Does not work

Connects but nothing but “refreshing” appears in the menubar. Update: now it doesn’t even connect

Hi! I would be happy to fix the issue, but I need more details. Could you please reach out to support@itsyhome.app so we can sort it.

Pratique avec un bon potentiel

Installé sur Mac Tahoe 26.2, très pratique de pouvoir d’un clic actionner une lampe ou autre objet connecté à partir de la barre supérieure sdu Mac sans ouvrir l’application Maison. En plus de l’action On/Off accès direct aux réglages luminosité et couleur des lampes. Possibilité de créer des onglets par pièce ou par groupe d’objet connecté comme “toutes les lampes”. Le tout avec la version gratuite. Un problème par contre: quand je change la configuration de Maison je n’arrive pas à obtenir la mise à jour sur Istyhome: dommage. A moins qu’il y ait une astuce…

Great, simple app for controlling Apple Home devices

So much easier to use than the native Apple Home app. Works perfectly with all my devices, and I love that you can even re-order and show/hide rooms and devices. Being able to use the webhooks and CLI is an awesome feature too - it means I can easily connect other custom controllers etc without having to go through homebridge or homeassistant.

All native and very fast too. My favourite kind of app. Thank you!

Déception

bonjour : j'ai installé Istyhome sur mon MacbookPro 2019 Sequoia 15.7.3 : elle ne veut pas s'ouvrir

Bonjour, merci pour votre retour. Nous sommes désolés pour ce problème. Pourriez-vous nous contacter à support@itsyhome.app? Nous aimerions résoudre ce problème rapidement pour vous.

Apple should have done this themselves.

After seeing this posted in /r/homekit I was willing to give it a try and within 5 minutes I bought Pro. Being able to view my cameras without having to open the Home app is fantastic.

Clunky interface, needs optimization for XDR 6k display

I purchased pro after seeing the value in this quick access interface, however..

Not the most intuitive interface. Why is resizing so difficult and no arrows for dragging guidance.

The camera interface is made for ants, I can barely see it on my 6K 32” monitor. Please add an ability to resize & save layout.

Hi, and thanks for the feedback! Menu bar panels on macOS are fixed-size by design, so I’d love to understand what you mean by resizing and drag guidance - could you email support@itsyhome.app with a screenshot or more detail? As for the camera view, this has already been improved in version 1.2.0 - you can double-click it for instant 2x zoom, and more improvements for larger displays are on the way. Thank you for upgrading to Pro!

Sehr intuitive App mit tollem Design

Sehr intuitive App mit tollem Design. Einfache Bedienung und guten Funktionen, die man täglich nutzt. Ich habe mir die Lifetimeversion gegönnt und hoffe auf eine konstante Weiterentwicklung mit neue zusätzlichen Funktionen.
