Description

The STEWARD Home Automation app is an all-in-one Home automation, home security, and utilities monitoring system that was designed and build specifically for the Sterling Ranch community. STEWARD connects you to your home security system, smart home controls, and real time utility usage information from one seamless user interface. STEWARD supports a wide variety of devices including door & window sensors, lighting control, door locks, garage door control, smart thermostats, smoke detectors, smart irrigation control, audio and video systems and more. Our simple, intuitive app eliminates the need to switch between various smart home apps or get out of bed to check if you closed the garage or locked the front door. With the STEWARD Home Automation app, you get to live more and worry less.

Note: The STEWARD Home Automation app works with a HomeSeer server that must be configured to work with the STEWARD app. Complete installation and set-up of the STEWARD system can be purchased by contacting Lumiere Technologies.
The STEWARD Home Automation app can:
• Combine all your smart home technology into one seamless user interface
• Display real time utility usage data and give estimated monthly costs
• Create customized scenes that control your whole home with the push of a single button
o Example - All Lights: Turn on or off all the lights in your house with the click of one button
o Example - Bedtime Scene: Arm the security system, Lock all the doors, close the garage, set the thermostat & turn off all the lights
o Example - Vacation Mode: Shut off the indoor water supply to prevent flooding, lock all doors, arm your security system & turn certain lights on and off on a schedule
• Arm your home security system, see live camera feeds, lock & unlock doors, control lighting, and operate garage doors from anywhere with your phone
• Get customizable mobile notifications when certain things are happening at your home
o Example – A door or window is left open when you are gone
The STEWARD Home Automation app works with:
• DSC Security Systems
• Nest and Ecobee Smart Thermostats
• Nuvo distributed audio systems
• Just Add Power distributed Video solutions
• Z-Wave devices (Thermostats, Lighting, Door Locks, Garage Doors, Window Shades, etc.)

Terrible App

Everything about this app is awful. It functions like someone’s nephew “knew how to make an app” and could create “something” on the cheap. There is nothing smart about this app. You cannot create automations… what is the point of having a smart home if you can’t make it smart?

The only capabilities this app even enables, when it works, is to turn things on and off. Why can’t I configure it to turn the porch on at sunset and off at sunrise? Why can’t I schedule vacations and turn off the water lines when I am gone? Why can’t I even set light dimmer levels?

This app is missing the most basic of functions, all wrapped in a bow that was designed by someone who thought it’d be cool if menu options could be dragged around the screen so they were difficult to tap on.

If you have to send a physical person out to configure and set up this app then it is poorly designed. Anyone with the most basic of tech ability could set up an ecobee or hue light system. Why can’t this work the same?

Spend some time actually making this app useful or abandon “Steward” and hire a team who specializes in home automation because I would be deathly embarrassed if this was the product I released.

Awful

Worst smart home app I’ve ever used. Im actually furious that Sterling Ranch set all my stuff up on this app, as I now have to figure out how to switch it to a real smart home hub and it’s difficult when they didn’t leave the product boxes. The lights consistently don’t respond, the thermostat consistently doesn’t respond (yes, my internet connection is solid). The interface is clunky, building routines is cumbersome. There has to be a way to use a different system.

Horrible app

Can’t get into community events, there’s always 1 notification I can’t see, the display when open doesn’t accurately reflect my houses switches.
