What’s New
Version 7.1.0
In our effort to help you get even more out of your HomeKit setup, we are excited to introduce grouped conditions – an exclusive feature in Controller for HomeKit.
GROUPED CONDITIONS:
With the new grouped conditions, you can now create even more complex automations by combining nested 'AND' and 'OR' conditions. This makes possible automations that were previously unattainable, or allows for a single automation to replace what used to require several.
BACKUP IMPROVEMENTS:
Our backup feature has been enhanced to support grouped conditions. Rest assured, existing backups will continue to function smoothly.
FREE CONTROLLER COURSE:
Our free Controller course in HomeDevices has been updated. Explore the "Automations" section to learn more about the new grouped conditions and how to use them.
OPTIMIZATIONS AND BUG FIXES:
We have made additional improvements and addressed various bugs to further enhance your user experience.
Update now and discover the new exclusive features!
Ratings and Reviews
Buggy. Doesn’t work
Update: had created a backup of scenes. For sime reason homekit randomly deletes all the accessories from all scenes about every 6 weeks. A “feature” I’m sure. Anywho, when trying to restore the update nothing happened for a while. Then suddenly ii had a bunch of scenes with only serial numbers as descriptions. Thats not helpful at all. I’m sure I’m doing something incorrect but its pretty self explanatory. Help?
Update: got immediate response from developer. That alone deserves four stars. Took four resets, logging in and out of icloud thrice and removing/adding apple watch twice before it worked. Still crashed after every delete of a scene already deleted. Restarted and repeated. Seems to be better now. But time will tell. No way to tell if its the app or apple, frankly.
Buggy on iOS 13. Crashes all the time. Shows deleted scenes but cant delete them. Not worth the new jacked up price of $9.
Developer Response ,
Please report crashes and bugs you experience. There is a service desk to get help.
There are 4 Apple defined scenes that cannot be deleted. If you see outdated HomeKit data, like deleted scenes, there is a deeper problem of Apple in your setup. The app shows the data it gets from HomeKit.
The Best!
This app is the best HomeKit manager available. The Apple Home app is excellent for automations converted to Shortcuts, but beyond that, you have to have access to more power of the HomeKit API. This app is exactly that. Use it with Apple’s HomeKit and Home app. The ability to peg exact attributes of lights is, alone, worth the price. I can now peg exact matches for lights across scenes. Color Temp, Saturation, Hue, Brightness, and Power. Five attributes for every single device! Exact matches are easy. I will say that it take patience. When setting attributes, some times you wait a few to see it accept the result. No biggie. Just wait on it. Build your scenes EXACTLY as desired. Don’t try to replace the Home App. Use that and Shortcuts and Siri all you want. This app is for configuring stuff behind the scenes more than a front end. I nearly never write reviews. This is worth it. I bought the $65 Lifetime without hesitation. How many $40-$50 bulbs do you own…. Spend this and be thrilled with the access and power. I have only had it for a few days. Changed my HomeKit! I redid all scenes with exact accuracy. I am thrilled!
UPDATE: I just installed the MAC app. No delay there, it appears! Fast to configure a scene with every attribute pegged. Fast. Better. Much faster (responsive) than the iPad app.
Better than most still not great
It does all the basic automations that most other applications do. But regarding automations involving temperatures and conditions it works really poorly. For example I can get an automation based on temperature to work once a day. In order for me to get it to work constantly, it would require 720 separate automations for the automation to work correctly over a 24 hour period of time. To keep it short let’s just consider that I have five devices that need to be controlled based upon the temperature either being above or below particular parameters. I would have to write 4320 separate automations for those six devices to work properly over the course of the day. Can you really call that automation?
Developer Response ,
I'm not sure what you are trying to do but it sounds like time-based automations could help you. Feel free to contact our support and we'll try to help you save a few thousand automation. ;-)
