Onvis Home 4+

Also please make UI better in Home. Bought two because of homekit integration but it’s been a disappointment.

First off, the device itself works beautifully. The battery compartment was a little bit of a hassle to open the first time. I really like the fact that there are three sensors in a single package.

For some reason, as of today, the app has begun to crash instantly upon opening. I was able to use it before it began this behavior. It seemed somewhat good for first version. My only suggestions for the app would be to work on the account creation screen. The keyboard blocks the ability to finalize account creation and there is no way to minimize the keyboard to allow access to the button. It would be nice to have the app show data point intervals of smaller time instances. I would suggest like every 15 minutes compared to every hour like it currently does. It’d be extremely useful for more accurate trending. Oh, one other suggestion would be to have the ability to export our sensor data so the user could use it for something like trend analysis of a particular room in their house. Currently I’m concerned with the humidity levels in certain bathrooms of the house and would like to be able to use comparative analysis in some sort of database software.

Final verdict, buy the room sensor for the information it can tell you but don’t depend on the app itself so much. Hopefully the developers are able to work on making it a more usable app in the near future.

I use this app only to update firmware, reset a dead sensor or see temperature/humidity history chart. I wish the rest of functionality was removed from this app to make it easier to use. Here is the list of recent bugs:
1. It’s impossible to reset the password or register on iphone8. The button to submit the form is hidden by the keyboard. I had to do it on my ipad.
2. Often it takes minutes to show the chart with temp/humidity. It keeps showing Loading instead.
But there is still no alternative in price for the sensors. $25 is a good deal
