IOS26 beta app will not run.

The requested app extension could not be found

Great WeMo Alternative

Now that WeMo is ending their cloud service, this is a perfect alternative for local control of WeMo devices. And it looks like the app was just updated a few months ago so hopefully the developer will continue to support the app.

Great App to consolidate various automations

This has been one of the best apps I have used to consolidate and control over various vendors for home automation.

Over the years it has slowly been loosing it ability though to work with some vendors.

Most recently the MyQ functionality no longer works. The app development team needs to fix the broken ones.

End of life

This WAS an awesome app but the developer is no longer supporting it. Integrations have stopped working because he isn’t maintaining it anymore unfortunately.

Great for DIY; hoping for more

The app is awesome and has allowed me to do so much after iRule went the way of the dodo.

There is so much potential to take this to an 11/10. Unfortunately, feature requests are generally ignored and updates have come to a halt.

Hoping the writing isn't on the wall.
