What's New in SOMweb

2.4.2

November 4, 2026

What's new in version 2.4.2 Faster, more reliable SOMweb Light setup On iPhones with iOS 18 or later, your SOMweb Light is found and added through iOS's own accessory setup. Setup takes half the time. The app now checks that the Light has actually joined your Wi-Fi instead of waiting blindly. Confirmation arrives in seconds. Setup no longer ends on the "reset your device" screen when the Light was in fact installed correctly. A Light that's already on your Wi-Fi no longer gets in the way when you add a new one. The setup form locks while the device restarts, so what you type isn't lost. If iOS stops the app from finding devices on your network ("Local Network" permission), the app tells you and takes you to Settings to turn it on. The Wi-Fi message at the start of setup is more accurate, with Retry and Go to Settings options. Door control Gate buttons now display at the right size on iPad and recent iPhones. The "door moving" indicator no longer stays hidden or stuck on. iPad The "Connecting…" animation no longer covers the top of the screen. Stability Fixed two unexpected crashes on the main screen. Fixed a crash when stopping video from some cameras. General performance and reliability improvements.

No longer connects

After the last update, the app no longer connects to the SomWeb. Luckily the SomWeb still works and is available through Apple Home. Also, it has a security problem. HomeKit can open the garage when it is locked via the wired door button panel (red light on). I would think that all external access be disabled in this condition. It bypasses the lock.

Awful

App is terrible. Hasn’t progressed in design or functionality in the 5 years that I’ve had one. Now on the second replacement controller because it fails every time you change your router. Customer support is non-existent. It does do what it’s supposed to do, but as soon as there’s an issue, putting it right is a painful, time consuming experience.

Ottima app

Ho dato quattro stelle all’app in quanto mancano due importanti parametri:
il primo è una chiusura automatica dopo il comando di apertura ( a volte puoi dimenticarti di chiuderlo),
la seconda riguarda una parziale compatibilità con il sistema Apple dove a volte non funzionano i camandi Home

Rarely Connects

The app is hit or miss in whether it connects to my doors. Mostly a lot of miss lately. Completely unreliable.

Pathetically unreliable

If you’re considering this “solution” for the remote operation of your garage door while you’re away, forget it. Mine regularly freezes, and the only way to get it back is a full power cycle. Not so convenient when I’m away.

As for the GUI - it’s as ugly as the SOMweb device itself. If the thing worked reliably, 24x7, as it should, then I could probably put up with a fully interface, but this is ugly and unreliable.

When my garage door motor is up for replacement, I will get an ABS model - Anything But Sommer - because this thing is a piece of junk.
