Omada app is used for configuring and managing your Omada devices. You can change settings, monitor the network status and manage clients, all from the convenience of a smart phone or tablet. STANDALONE MODE Standalone mode is designed for managing EAPs or wireless routers right away without having to spend time configuring a controller. Each device is managed separately. This mode is recommended for networks which only have a few EAPs (or wireless routers) and require only basic functions, such as home network. CONTROLLER MODE Controller mode works together with a software Omada Controller or a hardware Cloud Controller, and is suitable for managing multiple devices (including gateways, switches and EAPs) centrally. Controller mode allows you to configure and automatically synchronize unified settings to the devices in the network. Compared to Standalone Mode, more configuration options are available and supports to manage more devices in Controller mode. You can manage devices in Controller mode in two ways: via Local Access or Cloud Access. In Local Access mode, the Omada app can manage devices when the Controller and your mobile device are in the same subnet; in Cloud Access mode, the Omada app can access the Controller across the internet so you can manage your devices wherever you are. Compatibility List: The controller mode currently supports hardware cloud controllers (OC200 V1, OC300 V1), software Omada Controller v3.0.2 and above. (To experience more features support and more stable services, we recommend that you upgrade your controller to a new version). Standalone Mode currently supports the following models (with latest firmware): EAP245 (EU)/(US) V1 EAP225 (EU)/(US) V3/V2/V1 EAP115 (EU)/(US) V4/V2/V1 EAP110 (EU)/(US) V4/V2/V1 EAP225-Outdoor (EU)/(US) V1 EAP110-Outdoor (EU)/(US) V3/V1 EAP115-Wall (EU) V1 EAP225-Wall (EU) V2 ER706W (EU)/(US) V1/V1.6 ER706W-4G (EU)/(US) V1/V1.6 *The latest firmware is required and can be downloaded from https://www.tp-link.com/omada_compatibility_list.

Read full description

Bring values from your own JSON feeds to your wrist. Configure up to four named feeds with a URL and JSON key path, then choose a feed for each compatible corner, circular, inline, or rectangular complication on Apple Watch. Display power, temperature, distance, speed, weight, pressure, energy, percentages, numbers, or text. Convert supported units, choose up to four display characters, and customize supported complication rings with fixed or threshold-based colors. Live feeds on iPhone are free. Live readings on Apple Watch and its complications require the Live Feeds Annual auto-renewable subscription. The subscription lasts one year; the localized price is shown before purchase. It renews automatically unless canceled. Restore purchases or manage your subscription from the app. Apple controls complication refresh timing; your selected app interval does not guarantee the same watch-face refresh frequency. Private network feeds require a connection to that network. HTTP and HTTPS are supported. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: TP at none against JSON Complication's 1. TP also leads on ratings volume (666 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). JSON Complication's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.6). On price, ads, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
