Simple setup, amazing concept!

Saw this on Reddit and wanted to give it a go. I tested both the integration with Apple Home and Hone Assistant, both work immediately and are super simple to set up. Instead of controlling individual lights, I have it configured to run the lights on scene when I point up and snap, and turn off all lights if I point down. Very good idea!

It’s magic

This is a very cool app, coded in a very cool way. There are some fundamentals you must learn to make proper use of it, but it’s worth it once you do. The developer is very responsive and helpful.

Really want to like it but…

No matter what I do I keep getting a device no longer exists. Simply doesn’t work. Will try again later if dev patches!
