--Are there any requirements?--
Starting with Homemanager 3 we support all Homebridge systems which use the Homebridge UI with V4.29.0 or newer and all HOOBS systems with V3.2.10 or newer. It doesn't matter anymore on which platform you have Homebridge or HOOBS installed.
Due to the close collaboration with the Homebridge team, new features or API changes will be implemented on time. The only thing you need to do is simply updating the app, we'll take care of the rest.
--What is Homebridge / HOOBS?--
Homebridge is an open source software written by a large community to provide HomeKit support for almost all smart devices on the market. Homebridge works as a bridge between your physical smart home devices and HomeKit. Once set up, you can control your non-certified HomeKit devices in any HomeKit app and with Siri.
HOOBS is an alternative to Homebridge, developed by "HOOBS Inc." whose focus is on hardware out-of-the-box solutions.
If you don't have a server running yet, you can find more information and interactive instructions right in the app.
--Does the app cost?--
Yes. Due to the large maintenance effort, support and new features being added all the time, we are unable to offer the app for free.
To get to know the app better, you can test everything 14 days free of charge, without any payment or in-app purchase.
After this time you can decide if you like what you have tested and have two licenses to choose from.
Licenses are lifetime, localized prices for your country can be viewed right here in the AppStore in the in-app purchases section.
--Is there a way to contribute?--
Yes, as we target a community-oriented concept, feedback and feature requests are always welcome. If you would like to help us with localizing the app into your native language or with beta testing, please don't hesitate to contact us.
--Can I receive help--

Ratings and Reviews
Great app with weird restrictions for basic vs pro
First off, this works beautifully. It connected to home bridge easily and have most of the functionality. It worked correctly and I have not yet encountered any bugs.
However, there’s a few things that can still improve. First off, the UI is slightly unintuitive (perhaps inherited from Homebridge). The lack of common, recognized UI buttons makes it a bit of trial and error to figure out some parts of the navigation. Secondly, there doesn’t appear to be a terminal for homebridge (or I wasn’t able to find it). It is important for homebridge to have terminal access, so it was a bit weird to find that I don’t have it.
Finally, the pricing structure was slightly weird. Kudos on the developer for providing a 14 days trial before forcing you to buy, but I’m not sure anyone really needs Pro. Unless you’re managing multiple houses, you’re unlikely to have more than 1 server, and I can’t really think of a time when you’d have more than one instance of homebridge in a server. If you’re in the demographic with 2+ servers and 4+ instances each then I guess that’s right up your alley. The other item exclusive to pro is “access to all iOS 14 widgets”, which despite purchasing pro myself is something I’d like to see on basic instead.
If you’re willing to spend a few bucks on this app then I think it’s pretty worth it.
No 2FA for Homebridge
I was anxious to give this a try and got stuck on the setup because 2FA is not support for Homebridge. I am hoping this is temporary, so I will leave it installed waiting for an update. I certainly don’t want to remove my security layer.

Updated Hoobs to v4
I updated my Hoobs box to v4. Reinstalled Homemanager ( basic) and setup. Seemed ok but it randomly gets stuck at the purchase option screen. Shows I have basic purchased install but no way to return to the main screen. Hitting purchased did nothing. Restore purchase cycles but does nothing. No option but to delete the app and start over.

Hi,
please contact us via support to support@homemanager-app.de.
We will help you as soon as possible. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Cheers,
Ron
