• An always-on controller is required for some features such as Amazon Alexa Voice Control. For instance, a dedicated iPad or iPhone could be used that doubles as the remote for your Living Room. The always-on controller can also be the macOS or Apple TV edition of this app. Note that Roomie Voice Control and Siri control do not require an always-on device.

• Some very old devices may not be controlled directly via Wi-Fi and require an adapter for infrared control. See roomieremote.com/check-compatibility to determine whether any of your devices need an adapter.

What’s New

Version 9.1.2

• Configuration storage and synchronization is now local to the Primary Controller rather than stored in the cloud. Since V5, we have used a couple of different cloud storage solutions, but their only real use case was for offsite control. As Roomie is always used within the home or by VPN to the home, moving to pure local storage with local synchronization works better, is more secure (eliminating the entire class of security issues associated with cloud storage), and is notably faster.
• Automatic Backups: Daily and monthly automated configuration backups may now be executed to your choice of location.
• Controller Permissions: Each Controller now has permissions for the Home, either Full Access or Read-Only.
• Multiroom Linked Activities: Using the same media player in multiple rooms is now recognized as a Linked Activity. Such Activities can be activated together with the new Link button. Opening the volume controller for such an Activity displays all related volumes along with global mute controls.
• Inline Action Panel Editing: Entering Layout mode for the current Action Panel allows inline customization of your remote in a simple user interface.
• Weather: Current, daily, or hourly weather is now displayed throughout the app including the Homebar, Dashboard, and optionally per-room.
• Sunset/Sunrise Automation: Execution based on solar-related time events is now available for Time-based Automations.
• Shortcuts/Siri: Everything related to these features has been re-implemented using the latest Apple API to support current and upcoming changes. Your old Shortcuts migrate automatically, but some degree of adaptation may be required. Please verify your Shortcuts and let us know if you had to adjust anything.
• HomeKit Custom Icons: Active and Inactive icons may now be configured for each HomeKit accessory.
• Inactive Activity Icons: Activities may now specify an Inactive icon to use when the Activity is not active.
• Color Icons and Symbols: Thousands of additional symbols are available as well as support for multicolor symbols.
• Many other fixes and improvements throughout the app.
• Always ensure all versions of Roomie (and Now Showing if applicable) in your environment are at the same version/release level across platforms.
• Minimum system requirements are now the Fall 2023 releases: iOS/iPadOS/tvOS 17, macOS 14.

It’s broken!

Updated…Version 7.01 solved the problem…..Thanks!

The only thing that seems to make it work is if I close all apps and reboot the IPad. Please fix ASAP!——This has been fixed!

Don’t download unless you want to pay

The app doesn’t tell you a subscription is required to use the app. And it’s insanely expensive. Go buy another remote. It’s way cheaper than this insanely over priced app. Save your time and move on

Best universal remote for iPhone or iPad

Best universal remote for iPhone and iPad. Excellent system integration. I have Just Add Power multiple TVs cameras and Lutron RA2 lighting. This new remote makes integration a snap.
