This is the legacy version of the openHAB IOS app. This version is designed for openHAB systems running version 1.x and later as well as IOS version 15 and earlier. This version of the app will only be updated for security reasons and is considered deprecated. For a more modern experience we recommend users install our updated IOS application which includes Apple Watch support, more frequent updates as well as new and exciting features. This new IOS app supports openHAB versions 3.x and later. The open Home Automation Bus (openHAB) project aims at providing a universal integration platform for all things around home automation. It is designed to be absolutely vendor-neutral as well as hardware/protocol-agnostic. openHAB brings together different bus systems, hardware devices and interface protocols.

I get a blank page. The new replacement app also has the same issue. ### 5/5 — Best automation app *2024-02-21, version 2.4.56* The best automation app that I’ve been using for years. I just would like the developers to work more on Apple like CarPlay or Apple Watch, everything else nice work! ### 1/5 — OpenHAB crashes immediately when starting the app *2022-11-12, version 2.4.54* Running IOS 15.7.1 and OpenHAB crashes at startup. It dies immediately after flashing a white options pop up that I think might be asking me to report a problem. But it disappears so fast I can’t tell for sure. I’m running (or trying to) the latest version from about a week ago. ### 4/5 — No multiple OpenHAB locations?? *2022-11-05, version 2.4.54* The app is very stable and works brilliantly in fairness but one massive drawback and criticism is that it only supports and points to one OpenHAB installation pointing to only one server. If you wanted to monitor two locations or properties with two or more OpenHAB installations this app won’t support it?? Surely it wouldn’t be that complicated to have this feature and you could have a location profile? This feature is a definite must have!! ### 3/5 — No more sitemaps *2022-07-28, version 2.4.52* Sitemaps stopped working with the 2.4.52 update. ### 4/5 — Thank you for maintaining this app! *2022-07-26, version 2.4.52* It would be great if the iPad’s version could support split view, so that we can open our OpenHAB panel as a swipeable side app that is always ready to be opened 🙏 ### 4/5 — All good except… *2022-01-27, version 2.4.36* Really good and solid App. Only improvement would be to have more entries in the notification tab. That‘s limited to only 20 entries. ### 1/5 — 5months old? *2022-01-18, version 2.4.36* No mainui support dispite OH3 being out for ages. Come on seriously ### 1/5 — Crap *2021-09-18, version 2.4.36* There is absolutely nothing to this app except a search bar that doesn’t search anything. No instructions, no menu (well there is the settings menu that doesn’t give you any real choices). ### 1/5 — Non functional:( *2021-06-11, version 2.4.20* Demo mode returns black screen. Connecting to a local server also. Shame, OpenHAB is awesome! ## Frequently asked questions about openHAB V1 ### What is this app for?
