Ratings and Reviews
Great app except for two small issues
This is a great app! The interface is precisely the same as you would get when working with the web version which is nice, however, because it’s the same as the web version the “+” icon, used to add element or people or scenes,etc is under the apps “settings” icon so you can add anything to the configuration. Would be better to have the settings icon on the title bar. The other annoying thing is the connecting to external addresses, you need to remember to delete the default internal address from the address field before selecting external/remote UI. Both issues could easily be fixed.
Home Assistant infrastructure is amazing
It is frustrating that 40 years after X10 was launched the manufacturers still don’t understand that a walled garden or cloud approach to home automation is an implicit failure. Home Assistant is the antidote. It is a rapidly evolving open source system which doesn’t tie you to one company or the cloud. This App is a front end to that system. Your journey and a new fascinating hobby begins by buying a couple of interface devices (z-wave, Zigbee, Sonos audio, Sonoff, etc etc) then installing the free server software on a Mac, PC, or an embedded computer (eg Raspberry pi). This app comes later.
Superb
Been using the app as a beta tester already and it's perfect now the gui had a lot of changes now actually using the web gui which makes sense to what we had before however the primary focus for this app is location tracking and automations in homeassistant e.g had lights turn on once you reach your house or have actionable push notifications.
All in all solid app keep up the good work
