The HMScriptEditor for iOS is a companion to the HMScriptEditor for macOS. While it can be used standalone, it is more useful to occasionally run a script stored in iCloud documents using some desktop editor. HMScriptEditor is a very simple editor and runner for HomeMatic ("Rega") scripts. HomeMatic is a smart home automation system by eq-3. The editor is a tool for home automation software developers, it is not intended for end users. Note: This works with HomeMatic CCU 1/2/3 base stations or RaspberryMatic installations. The HomeMatic IP Access Points (HMIP-HAP, HSU1) are NOT compatible. The "Remote Homematic script API" needs to be enabled in the CCU firewall settings. The editor features syntax highlighting. Scripts can be directly started from within the editor. Run and test them on any preconfigured CCU. Checkout the support page in case you have any questions or feedback.
