What's New in Roomie Universal Remote X

10.4.0

July 2, 2026

APPLE WATCH APP Roomie returns to Apple Watch — a next-generation app rebuilt from the ground up. Start and switch activities, control transport, and adjust volume with the Digital Crown, right from your wrist. Hands-free voice control is built in, including conversational xAI Voice, relaying through your nearby iPhone. Add a complication to launch straight into the room that's playing. PROXIMITY SWITCHING Roomie can switch a controller's active Room automatically from Bluetooth beacon proximity. Use the new Roomie Beacon devices, Roomie IR products that now advertise as beacons, or third-party iBeacons — assign one to each Room, and Roomie activates whichever Room's beacon is nearest. It even works in the background, so the right room is set before you open the app. Enabled per controller with a detection-sensitivity preset. HOME ASSISTANT CAMERAS & THERMOSTATS Home Assistant cameras are now auto-discovered with snapshots and live HLS streaming, each mapped to the matching Roomie room. Climate entities are supported with fan-mode control, alongside the existing lights, switches, covers, fans, locks, and sensors. FASTER CAMERA DISCOVERY Finding network cameras is faster and more reliable, with smarter vendor-aware authentication and one-tap add. Discovery can now reach beyond your controller's own network segment to find cameras on other subnets or VLANs. SMARTER REMOTE ACCESS Roomie now stays on fast local control whenever your controller can reach the primary directly — even across different Wi-Fi networks at home — instead of switching to Remote Access unnecessarily. You can also add a controller that lives on another subnet or VLAN by entering its address directly. SAVANT Control Savant systems through the Savant Open API. Turn on services and issue zone commands — power, mute, volume — for any Savant room, with state-feedback triggers keeping Roomie in sync with what Savant is doing. (Requires Active Savant Essentials subscription) NEW DEVICE SUPPORT LEA Professional Connect Series amplifiers with per-room channel mapping and live volume and mute feedback. AVPro MXNet AV-over-IP matrix control (1G and 10G CBOX) with automatic endpoint aliasing and routing. And Nest Thermostat pairing no longer requires re-authenticating every 7 days. ADD A SMART TV FOR FREE Pair a single network smart TV — Samsung, LG, Roku, or many more — at no cost and with no subscription. Roomie lists eligible TVs on your network and sets up control and an activity automatically. ALSO INCLUDED FROM 10.3 • Room Layouts — a customizable mixed-size card grid for every room and the dashboard. • iCloud Backups — reliable cross-platform backups with automatic mesh sync. • Redesigned Weather panel with PurpleAir air quality. • IR Learning rebuilt from the ground up. • Universal Remote HTTP API for third-party bridges and automation.

User reviews

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.

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.

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.

Lifetime licence promise broken

I bought a lifetime license, and suddenly I am asked to pay for a new license for this version X, which doesn’t even offer the option of paying for a new “lifetime” license, adding insult to injury. Poor commercial practice.

No support half baked

Long time user of the product. But version 10 is complete trash. No support, not even an email, just a half baked support page. Says it support all sorts of stuff but good luck getting it to work. Example smart things connects but tells you to hit button to get code…..but no button. This is the random weirdness in the new version.
