Why did you remove Apple Watch functionality? My main use case (and maybe many other people) was to have quick access and easy viewing of the status and availability of my smart outlets. Now, I may as well use the native app for my outlets, since I have to use my phone app anyway. Very disappointed and confused here. Please bring the Apple Watch client back? Also, possible for iOS 14 widget support?[old edit #1: After two full un- and reinstalls, it works great again on both my Apple Watch and iPhone. Maybe something gummed up. Awesome app and I’m glad we’re back together again!](Original) The app used to work very well under iOS 12.4, upon upgrade to 13 I am not able to use my Apple Watch s3 as a controller, it only says “Waiting for phone” even though the app says successfully connected (and I can’t un- and re-pair the Apple Watch skill in the iPhone app). Tried uninstalling all, reinstalling all, rebooting both devices etc. Is there a fix? If not, SC may be dead under iOS 13 😐

I first downloaded this app in order to control a MyQ garage door (I’ve since added some other devices). I’ve read many reviews stating the app did not work with MyQ which simply is not true. However, it does take a bit of setup and background research. Note that you cannot simply add the myq device and then sync with Alexa app. You must create routines (one to open and another to close) inside the SimpleCommands app. You will then add those to the Alexa app as scenes and you can then run those within an Alexa routine. I admit it is a bit cumbersome but the SimpleCommands app is providing a workaround that otherwise doesn’t exist so I appreciate the developer for creating a solution. By the way, I learned of the need to create a routine from the app developers support page. The developer has lots of support articles so take a few minutes to read them and give it a try before leaving a negative review. Again, this app allows me to control something with Alexa that wouldn’t be possible otherwise so thumbs up!

I found this app via Reddit, because myQ makes it impossible to set up your own Siri commands to open/close their garages. They also don’t provide any widget access whatsoever. Instead they want you to buy yet another expensive “Siri” device that is barely ever in stock and a pain to set up. This type of stuff should obviously come with your original purchase, like every other company does. Just poor business practice. Long story short, I had my myQ open/close Siri commands running in about 10 minutes with this app. Thank you to the developer(s) for that. I will say that this app isn’t exactly for the novice user, but the developer(s) attempt to do so via EXCELLENT instructions. I did hit one hurdle in the setup process, though. Note that when they say to click “see more”, just click on the right arrow in the “get contents of” section. Good luck!

It took a lot of fiddling and experimenting to get this to automatically open my garage door when I drive into my street using geo fence and MyQ, but I finally got it working. At least it does about 60-70% of the time. Unfortunately 25-30% of battery usage is SimpleCommands using background location and drains the battery quickly. I got tired of charging my phone 2-3 times a day so finally had to change permissions to only when using app, so of course this feature doesn’t work any more. Hopefully there will be a fix for this soon so can start using it again.
