Good but very expensive
It’s good and reliable , no question, but very much expensive. I can do all that this app does and more with Home Assistant. So why pay such an exorbitant fee. If it were half the current yearly fee I would subscription to support the project.

Thanks for being a user for so many years and sorry you feel it wasn't valuable! Let me address each one of your points directly: Home Assistant – You’re right that Home Assistant can do a lot. It’s a great platform if you enjoy building and maintaining a DIY setup. But it also has costs of its own: your time, hardware to run it, power, and a subscription for features which is more than Myro:Home costs! I actually use Home Assistant myself — it’s a great tool. Myro:Home was never meant to compete with it directly, but rather provide a polished, reliable experience that works right away without the ongoing setup and maintenance. Cost – A lot of the work over the years happens behind the scenes. Keeping up with iOS changes, maintaining compatibility with legacy HAI/Leviton controllers, fixing edge cases, and ensuring stability across Apple’s evolving platforms takes continuous development and testing. The subscription helps support that ongoing work. Features – One challenge with a long-running app is balancing improvements with stability. Over the years, even small interface or workflow changes often generated strong feedback from users who were used to how things worked. That made it difficult to introduce bigger changes within the original app. Because of that, I recently released Myro:Home Pro on the App Store. It’s the next generation of the platform and includes many new capabilities available in modern iOS, including HomeKit support. There’s also a free tier so people can try it with a few devices before deciding if it’s right for them. Either way, I truly appreciate the years you spent using Myro:Home and the time you took to leave feedback.

Hi! Reach out to me via support and we can figure out what’s up. Most of the time it’s something related to your network. You can also try out the new Myro:Home Pro app now avaiiable in the App Store to rule out any issues since it's a completely rewritten app.
Great app, too expensive
I’ve moved on and got a raspberry pi running Homebridge and the HAI plugin. The plugin is very well written, and I’ve contributed to his work. Much better solution that allows me to share control of the HAI system with everyone in the house without having to pay for multiple subscriptions. Handles things like garage doors so much better.

Thanks! HomeBridge is great too… look for Myro:Home Pro app coming soon. I wish I could offer this app for free but that’s impossible given the time and costs involved with supporting this app. The yearly cost is fair given prices have not gone up with inflation… with each year you save $$$. 😀
HAI/Leviton is a terrific system. we finally have a great app to go with it.

This is false — Myro:Home works with latest iOS and is actively being developed. Please reach out to support@myrocontrol.com if you are still experiencing issues.
