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.
