The most potent of all Homekit-apps! Perhaps not the best looking or most elegant, but definitely the one with most tricks up it's sleeve. And a big, big bonus point for having a Mac OS version as well!
Developer Response ,
Thanks. We're working on our style. ;-)
So much fine print missing before purchase
Logging: Only works when app is turned on. So it’s not a self served log. There is no “logging over time” unless you keep the app awake for the rest of your life.
Backups: There are like 6-7 caveats to backups. Lots of things not being backed up.
Demanding a refund.
Developer Response ,
Once we had more "fine print", but users did not read it and still complained. We are limited by Apple to what we can do and try to get the best out of it. We even started a petition to lift those restrictions. All information is available on our Website.
Backups can still save you 90% of your time and Logs are great to check your Automation live. We are working on a long-term log with graphs.
One of the very best home apps!
This is what apple’s own home app should have been. Because of restrictions in apple api, you have to do things in both apps. Like automations. You start in apple home app, and finish off in controller. And in controller you have proper conditions you can set.
The notifications feature is quite advanced to setup, but you can do a lot of fun.
Backups are a difficult area, but it’s better have some kind of backup than nothing.
Logs are great! But I don’t think it’s logging all kinds of automations? I have been trying to see what happens in my new Aqara fp2 sensor, but can’t see it’s logged.
It’s much to learn, so be prepared to spend some time reading and learning the app. It’s evolving very good. So it’s a no brained get this app, if you like do advanced things.
