Read full descriptionHide full description
Diese App dient als benutzerfreundliche Schnittstelle zur Steuerung Ihres Home Assistants und der darin eingerichteten Szenen und Geräte. Mit dieser App können Sie ganz einfach Szenen oder einzelne Geräte aktivieren. Die App bietet zudem die Möglichkeit, Szenen mit Bildern und hilfreichen Anleitungen zu verknüpfen. Auf diese Weise erhalten die Benutzer, wenn sie beispielsweise auf die Szene "Besprechung" klicken, visuelle Anweisungen, um alles korrekt einzurichten. Im Admin-Modus können Sie die Schlüssel für das Aktivieren und Deaktivieren von Szenen hinzufügen. Diese Schlüssel sind im Grunde genommen zwei vorher im Home Assistant eingerichtete Szenen. Die App dient als Auslöser für diese Szenen und macht die Steuerung somit einfacher und intuitiver.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Home Assistant Room Control at Free against USB Mobile Disk's $0.99. Home Assistant Room Control also leads on ads (none vs shown). USB Mobile Disk's advantage is update cadence (every 3 months vs every 25 months) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.1). On in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
