ioBroker Objects ist eine native iOS-App zum Durchsuchen, Beobachten und Bedienen deiner ioBroker-Objekte und States. Verbinde dich direkt im lokalen Netzwerk, über VPN oder über Cloudflare Zero Trust mit deiner ioBroker-Instanz. Die App unterstützt simple-api und rest-api, erkennt den passenden API-Typ automatisch und kann Werte per Live-Updates oder Polling aktuell halten. Funktionen: • Mehrere ioBroker-Verbindungen speichern • Objektbaum nach Adapter und Struktur durchsuchen • States lesen und schreibbare Werte ändern • Favoriten, Suche, Filter und Detailansichten • Konfigurierbares Smart-Home-Dashboard • Komponenten für Licht, Rollladen, Thermostat, Sensoren, Energie, Aktionen und mehr • Home-Screen-Widgets für States, Steuerung und Dashboard • Apple-Watch-App für ausgewählte Objekte • Watch-Komplikationen für wichtige Werte • Kurzbefehle und Siri-Aktionen zum Lesen und Schreiben von States • Optionaler iCloud-Sync für Einrichtung, Favoriten und Dashboard-Konfiguration • Cloudflare Zero Trust Service Token pro Verbindung • Sichere Speicherung sensibler Zugangsdaten im iOS-Schlüsselbund Die App greift nicht direkt auf deine ioBroker-Datenbank zu. Sie verwendet HTTP/HTTPS für REST-Anfragen und optional WebSocket für Live-Updates. Passwörter, Cloudflare-Secrets und Zugangsdaten bleiben lokal auf deinem Gerät und werden nicht über iCloud synchronisiert. Voraussetzungen: Du benötigst eine eigene ioBroker-Installation mit simple-api oder rest-api. Für Live-Updates ist zusätzlich ein ioBroker web- oder admin-Adapter mit socket.io erforderlich.

Contact lenses don't come with a memory. LensTime does. If you've ever stared at a lens and thought "wait, when did I put these in?", LensTime is for you. It quietly counts down the days for each eye and reminds you every single day, if that is what it takes, until you actually change them. No ads. No subscription. No account. Just a reminder that works. TWO PROBLEMS, SOLVED 1) "How long have I been wearing these?" Monthly and biweekly lenses expire on a schedule, no matter how often you wear them. LensTime tracks the days for you, so you stop guessing and stop wearing lenses past their time. 2) "Did my numbers change? Did I have astigmatism?" Nobody remembers their old prescription after an eye exam. LensTime keeps every exam and shows exactly what changed: "Left: -2.25 to -2.50 (increased by 0.25)". Just the numbers, never advice. LEFT AND RIGHT, TRACKED SEPARATELY Real life isn't symmetric. One lens tears, the other is fine. Tap "I replaced my lenses" and choose Both, Left only, or Right only. Each eye keeps its own countdown, and only the eye you replaced resets. REMINDERS THAT DON'T GIVE UP - An early heads-up a few days before the change date - A reminder on the day itself - A gentle nudge every day after, until you mark it done All at the time you choose. Miss a change? The app won't let it slide. LOG AN EXAM IN SECONDS Photograph the prescription now and type the numbers later. The form fills itself from your last exam, so a routine check-up is one or two corrections instead of ten fields. Cylinder and axis stay folded away unless you have astigmatism. KEEP YOUR PRESCRIPTION HANDY SPH, CYL, AXIS, base curve and diameter, all on one screen and ready to copy when you reorder. THE CORE IS FREE, FOREVER - Track one lens profile (left and right) - The full reminder chain - Asymmetric left and right changes - Your latest prescription and what changed LENSTIME PRO, ONE-TIME PURCHASE, NO SUBSCRIPTION - Home and lock screen widgets - Multiple lens profiles - Full prescription history and chart - Stock and solution tracking with low-stock alerts - Yearly stats: how many changes, how many were planned ELEVEN LANGUAGES English, Turkish, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Danish, Norwegian, Swedish, Korean and Japanese. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your data stays on your device and in your own iCloud. No tracking, no analytics, no servers. We don't collect anything. LensTime is a reminder app, not a medical device and not medical advice. For decisions about your eye health, talk to your eye doctor.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: ioBroker Objects at none against LensTime's 1. LensTime's advantage is iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.2). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
