What's New in Roomie Universal Remote X

10.6.0

October 9, 2026

VIDEO TUTORIALS Eight tutorial videos are now out — switching off a Harmony, your first Room, Activities, dashboard and Action Panel design, Controllers, Automations, Voice, and the HomeBar panels. Watch them from Settings, under About, or tap Watch in any section of the QuickStart Guide, updated throughout for 10.6. SPOTLIGHT, CONTROLS & WIDGETS Rooms and activities appear in Spotlight, where opening one returns a room card with Mute, Pause, and Off. Control Center controls run activities and can sit on the Lock Screen or the Action button, and an edge-to-edge Activity widget runs them from the Home Screen. Siri can also start or stop a room by name, in English, German, Spanish, and French. IPHONE DUO Roomie is ready for iPhone Duo. Content stays clear of the system's vertical bar, the activity button joins the other controls inside it, the guide tiles only the columns that fit, and launch no longer opens a blank second window. HISTORY: THE STATE TAB A new State tab charts what your home actually did. Every device and every zone gets a full day strip, grouped by room and searchable, so you can see when the lights went on and how long the air conditioning ran. Scrub a strip to read any moment, and open a device for totals and a list of changes. A refused command gets its own row naming the device, and a device that answers but refuses is marked "Not responding." CLAUDE APP & WEBSITE Claude on claude.ai and in the Claude app can now view and control your home from anywhere. On a dedicated Primary Controller, turn on Claude Connector under Settings → Managed Device Options → Claude, where MCP Access holds the connector URL, Home Link Code, and access key. Claude can also help diagnose your home, reading its diagnostic logs, configuration, and controller roster with credentials always left out, and offering a report on where the problem lies and whether it will recur. CAMERAS Camera video is rebuilt: frames now draw on the GPU, Room Layout tiles stream each camera's lower-bandwidth sub-stream, and a learned budget adjusts how much video runs at once on each device. Streams also open about a second faster, and Guided Add finds Reolink cameras. WEATHER Your Primary Controller now relays WeatherFlow Tempest and PurpleAir readings to every controller, so station weather and air quality appear on devices that can't hear them directly, and it serves cloud air quality when a local sensor dies. The forecast lens flips the panel between Conditions, Precipitation, and Wind. "HEY ROOMIE" ACROSS THE ROOM The wake word carries across the room with far-field detection, and a spoken command that matches nothing now tells you so. You can also skip or replay by an amount and seek to a position by voice. DEVICE SUPPORT Mitsubishi mini-split thermostats join through your Kumo Cloud account, with modes, half-degree setpoints, fan speeds, and per-zone status. Vera thermostats, locks, shades, and sensors type correctly, with setpoint and mode commands restored. The McIntosh MA8900 gains serial control, and Denon receivers add the Game 2 input. HOMEPOD Announcements are upgraded to send via AirPlay 2, required for Software 27 support. They start at the press and play whole on every speaker. RELIABILITY Apple TV honors a pairing backoff and reconnects after pairing, a denied Local Network permission is announced to the home, Sonos names the track rather than the station, and Lutron Caséta shades report their positions. An announcement starting as another closes keeps its Sonos speakers, and an unreadable Apple TV message or a bad pairing code no longer crashes the app. Add Wait is now Add Delay, Delete Device lists the receiver inputs mapped to it, controller deletes stick across sync, and Insteon lights stay current after the hourly reconnect. ALSO INCLUDED FROM 10.5 • JVC and Epson projector passwords, and Valerion VisionMaster support. • Google TV and Google Cast Now Playing and volume.

User reviews

Capable but frustrating

Awful configuration UI. Extremely difficult to configure activities. Scammy pricing that limits activity count rather than having price represent development effort. I used it because it was one of few apps that could actually control everything. I have since replaced it with a custom UI that talks to home assistant. Claude built the whole thing, no knowledge necessary. Go that route instead of using this.

Response from developer

Thanks for the candid feedback, and for using Roomie as long as you did. Plans are tiered by setup size — One Room, Five Rooms, and Unlimited — so smaller systems pay less. We're actively improving activity setup based on feedback like yours. If you give it another look, support@roomieremote.com will help you get set up.

Perpetual Licenses are worthless

I purchased an unlimited perpetual license for roomie remote. Now I’m being told that version is obsolete and I need to upgrade to roomie remote x. The process was so confusing and now I’m realizing my license isn’t even valid in this version. Feels like I’ve been ripped off after paying for a perpetual license only for it to be invalid.

Response from developer

Your Unlimited Perpetual license is still valid: it belongs to Roomie Remote 9, which keeps working and can be re-downloaded from your App Store purchase history. Roomie X is a separate app, so the license can't carry over, but as thanks to perpetual owners we're offering Roomie X Unlimited free for 90 days through December 31. Sign in with Apple in both apps and it appears automatically; if it doesn't, email support@roomieremote.com and we'll set it up for you.

Uninstalled and reinstalled several times, but original configuration is not brought over

I get an empty home screen that’s completely useless. I don’t see the macros from I the original Roomie Remote. It says I’m supposed to unsubscribe from my perpetual license, but I would rather see settings come over first before I do so. So far I’m still using the old one and I don’t understand what I’m supposed to be doing here. Preview images look great in the App Store, but it doesn’t look remotely like that. Just empty screens.

Response from developer

Sorry for the empty screens — please don't cancel anything. Your perpetual license keeps working in Roomie Remote 9, and there's nothing you need to unsubscribe from. Your configuration imports automatically when Roomie X is installed on the same device as Roomie 9; if it didn't, use Settings › Send Feedback in Roomie X (or email support@roomieremote.com) and we'll get your setup over. Through December 31, perpetual owners also get Roomie X Unlimited free for 90 days.

Want to use it

1 star would be unfair because I haven’t been able to use it. But that’s the issue, it says 1 Smart TV can be set up for free, right? Not sure what constitutes as a Smart TV on the app, but I tried my Samsung TV which directed me to purchasing a subscription. Wasn’t sure what to make of that so I then tried Android TV for my Google Streamer and was hit with the same notification, so I’m not really sure how to proceed.

Response from developer

This issue is resolved in today's release! Our apologies for the brief issue with that new feature.

Not honoring perpetual subs

I bought the original roomie remote with a perpetual subscription and here they go and release a new version and poof! No longer honored. Super scummy.

Response from developer

Your perpetual purchase hasn't changed — Roomie Remote 9 still works and remains yours to use. Roomie X is a new app built on a subscription so we can keep developing it, and through December 31 perpetual owners get Roomie X Unlimited free for 90 days as a thank-you. Sign in with Apple in both apps to see the offer, or email support@roomieremote.com and we'll arrange it.
