EasyHomeControl is the simplest way to control your HomeKit thermostat. Three big buttons: warmer, cooler, and the mode. That's it. I built this app for my Grandma. She's 101, lives on her own, and uses her iPad to keep her home comfortable. Macular degeneration and glaucoma have taken most of her sight, but she can still make out big, high-contrast shapes, so everything in EasyHomeControl is sized for her. BIG AND CLEAR • Huge numbers for the room temperature and the setting • Big Warmer and Cooler buttons that are hard to miss • High contrast in light and dark mode • Works with VoiceOver WORKS WITH YOUR THERMOSTAT • Controls any thermostat you've added to Apple's Home app • Heat, Cool, Auto, and Off, showing only the modes your thermostat supports • In Auto, see your comfort range and move it with one tap • Switch thermostats or homes with a tap • Fahrenheit or Celsius PRIVATE AND FREE • No account, no ads, no tracking • Works directly with Apple's HomeKit • Free, with an optional tip jar if it helps you Great for seniors, people with low vision, and anyone who wants a simple thermostat app without the clutter. If it helps you or someone you love, that makes me happy. Questions? Email support@jonwhofixesthings.com. Download EasyHomeControl and make your thermostat easy again.
