Ratings and Reviews
Works great !
I have been wanting to build a customized Home Automation Dashboard on my iPad for a very long time, and I was very pleased to come across Home Remote. The Designer software was exactly what I was looking for. It provides very powerful interfaces to help me design my ideal dashboard - transparent buttons, scripts, extensive device support, web image feeders, …
It does require some basic technical skills though. I’m not a programmer, so I had to spend a bit of time to figure it out, but I have gotten an amazing support from the owner of the software, and I’m very pleased with my results ! His wonderful responsiveness to my questions is definitely worth highlighting in my review.
Highly Customizable
I was a user of the now discontinued VeraMate application, and I was looking for a user interface that could give me the data I needed at a glance. I constructed a VeraMate replacement user interface with all of the data and control functions I needed in under two days.
There is one thing it seems I cannot do, dynamic tile reordering. When a device is "inactive," it will leave a blank space in the device browser. When the device is "active," it will then fill in that space.
A few notes on customizing:
The app will run without Designer using default groups.
Highly customizable with Designer.
A Windows machine is required to run Designer.
Designer has a mild learning curve.
Some programming knowledge is helpful.
I really like this program, and it definitely fulfilled my needs. If you dig in and learn the Designer operating principles, I think you'll be very happy with the end result.
Brilliant comprehensive Home Control App!
Seems to be hardly any limit to this great app. I use Insteon, X10 via Homeseer, Z-wave, direct IP control, Nexia, Directv, Alexa, etc. It integrates all my legacy control modules and everything I’ve adopted since into a single control app.
My only want is for the app to load and refresh devices more quickly (or maybe less often, perhaps a setting for on-demand only), but I understand that this function depends heavily on network latency and sometimes availability of the services web portals.
