Limited Automation(only what HomeKit offers)

I liked the fact that developer responds immediately to a concern but I am disappointed that this app has the same level of automation what the HomeKit offers. When I looked at the screens and reviews on the app, all I wanted to achieve is to turn off the lights and switches in my kitchen(not hue bulbs) to turn off 3 minutes after there is no motion detected and I learned this app doesn’t have the ability. It does allows you to create a trigger/automation but it overrides in apple HomeKit and turns off immediately which is a pain as it turns off every time I step out for a quick second and then turns on which defeats my purpose. I didn’t really see any value to pay $15 for an app which only can automate what HomeKit offers. If you are not keen on automations, then this app works great but if you are big into automations, this doesn’t justify the price.

Necessary for anyone serious about HomeKit

This app does vastly more than Apple's Home app. You can set up much more detailed Triggers, you can see more characteristics, and you can generally troubleshoot and customize your HomeKit setup much better with this app. (There are a couple of things Apple's Home app can do that this app can't like schedule triggers for 'every weekday', but that's Apple's fault, not the developer's.)Unfortunately, it loses a star for its recent interface revamp. It tries to look and feel more like Apple’s Home app, and position itself as a place to *use* HomeKit, not just set it up. And it misses. It’s harder and more confusing to use than in previous versions. It’s still essential software though.

It’s harder and more confusing to use than in previous versions. In particular, unlike the Home app, there's no indication of when tapping on a scene will *edit* it, and when it will *activate* it. It’s still essential software though.

Everything Apple Home App Should Be

I don’t post many reviews in the App Store.But I feel like this app deserves it! Don’t let the price scare you away. Apple should hire this team to redesign the native home (HomeKit) app on the iPhone. I’m very much into home automation and I also use Home Assistant for my automations. But after finding this app I changed some of those over to this app with great success. It does take some time to figure out how to properly set automations, but in the end it’s so worth it. What I like the best with this app is the ability to set conditions for automation triggers. For example if I want my lights to come on when my Motion Sensors detect Motion they will but I can also set them to only come on if my TV is set to “off” then after Motion is not detected it will turn the lights back off again. Now if the TV is “on” nothing happens if I choose. This is just a small example of what is possible with conditions in automations. I also run a humidifier in my home but when the humidity in the room is above 50 this app turns my humidifier off and stays off until the humidity level drops below 45. This is awesome and I absolutely love this app. Again don’t let the price scare you away. You will not be disappointed. The author is here to help you if you have any questions. Thanks for making this app! I will be looking for any future releases from you guys!

Missing main feature I wanted

Updated - After using this app for almost a week I have updated my review to 4 stars. The app is fantastic and allows things that the stock home app does not, such as zones and, as I have just found out, renaming automatons to something that is identifiable. Thank you to the developer(s) for the quick reply to my review and my incorrect concern. Excellent support for this product. I am holding back the 5th star as I have only been using the app a short time. Hoping to have this app turn out to be a 5 star after a bit more use.I bought this app hoping I could use it to name my automations. However, it will not allow me the do this. The free Eve app from Elgato allows this so I am at a loss why this app does not!Will raise my stars if this is ever added.

Great for triggering automations on a number

I have a number of light systems with dimmer switches that I wanted to control dimmer outlets from. With this app, I can set the second light to dim when the main light meets a reasonable threshold %.The app will also end up paying for itself. I use a HomeKit thermostat, and with the given inputs, I can set the heat and AC to different temperatures. This wasn’t a possible trigger in the official app, so to be able to trigger an automation on temperature or heating cooling status is a game changer. We used to have an issue with the basement heater being on at the same as the air conditioner upstairs. That seems to be a thing of the past.

Loss of power-user features?

I’ve used this app since v3 and have loved it. It was great that it could fine tune a scene in ways the native app couldn’t. For example I could edit a screen to set ONLY a lights brightness, but not it’s power state or color. So I could set lights to dim if they were already on, but not turn them on it they were already off. I might be missing something, but that seems to be missing now in v5. It seems to have simplified the controls much like the native Home app. Which I imagine makes it easier for some too use, but I feel takes away the advantage this app used to have. Is there a way to still edit things with that level of granularity still?

Hey Why don’t my Apple TV’s show in accessories.

I was jumping through all kind of hoops trying to figure out why my Apple TV 4’s don’t appear as accessories in this app like they do in the “Home” app version. Quite disappointing when it does pick up all my lights and both my thermostats with no problem. Finally I started Googling the subject to see if I could get any answers and after reading a little I’m just finding out that this App is Not from Apple but from another developer who was forced by Apple to change the name of his App to “Home+” in order to clear up any confusion between the two. But I purchased it a while back thinking it was a upgraded Apple “Home” app. I was even going to call Apple tech support to find out what the problem was. Glad I googled first. As for the non connectivity of my Apple TV’s to this App, I guess Apple has put some limitations on outside developer apps.

Best Home Automation Program Available

I have been using this app for a long time now and have seen it grow as apple allows the developers to have more options with the programming. I have spoken with Matthias on several occasions asking for various abilities that weren’t programmed in and if he was allowed he would come out with an update down the road incorporating my request. I have been looking for a way to turn on my lights a certain time before sunset since its dark in the house before sunset and after apple opened it up to developers Matthias put it in Home 3. This allows me to not have to worry about constantly changing the time the lights come on as the day lengthens or shortens. I also wanted the ability to activate devices only on certain days and that is now programmed in. Lastly I wanted the ability to move my scenes and automations around in the stacking order and that is also the case now. Everything I wanted in an automation program is now within Home 3. There are also other options that I don’t use now, but its great to know that if I want them in the future, they are there. This program is well worth the money I paid for it.

Nice app

Purchased this today and have really enjoyed it! Much better than Apple’s Home app. There are a few changes I would love to see: First, support for Logi Circle 2 camera. I have reported characteristics for the device. Second, I would like the ability to use both conjunction AND disjunction within the same conversation (e.g if either this OR this condition exists, then do this AND this AND this). And lastly, allow for the programming of multiple button presses and fade/dim controls for Hue dimmer switches. The default device settings allow for five scenes to be assigned to button 1, dim in/out assigned to buttons 2&3, and off assigned to button four. It would be great to be able to configure with these base settings as a starting point. Overall I’m happy with the investment in this app!
