### 1/5 — Could be very useful, but doesn't work - Update

*2023-02-05*

Update:
I decided to try rebooting the computer, that got this app working (though this is still unacceptable). But, my main use was to look at the status of devices, and even though it states a 5 min update interval, is still works really badly, unusable. For example, temperature reads 23.5 on thermostat and HomeKit (which always matchss what my thermostat says when I first open HomeKit, and if I leave it open and running, updates with a couple seconds for any change), but this app shows 22.6, even after stating it just updated. I tried checking this a dozen times today, by opening the widget display along with HomeKit, in an area where the temperature slowly changes, this app was always way off, unless I left the computer untouched for another 5 min and then it woul dupdate fairly close. Also, for action widgets, all the app does is open the original, cluttered app, so not very nice to use.

Overall, the app isn't usable, not recommended.

Original Review:
This app could be very useful for very easily creating HomeKit widgets to add status and actions to the widget display on a mac, but... though the widgets can be created, and added to the Mac widget display, they don't work, they just display as blank white boxes. I tried creating both status and action widgets and they display fine within this app, but don't work on the Mac widget display. I am using Mac mini M1, Ventura 13.2, perhaps it is incompatible. I hope this gets fixed, but looks like I need to use another app.
