Description

Siri Shortcuts have been added! Control all your equipment with Siri.

Tired of all the different apps you need to control your smart home? Are they missing features you’d like to see such as schedules, geofencing or Today Screen access?

Then Home Remote is for you. With native support for Milight, LimitlessLED, EasyBulb, LIFX, Belkin WeMo, Indigo, along with URL calls and TCP/UDP packets, there isn’t much that Home Remote can’t control.

You can add attributes to any action, such as location triggering with beacons or geofences, schedules, even voice recognition.

Home Remote - Great for any smart home with Home Automation.

Sunrise and sunset times are provided by http://sunrise-sunset.org

Nicely done

Not the most beautiful app in the world, but the basic UI is stuffed with really nicely done Indigo support and with hardware-specific control.

Making actions accessible from the home screen or Watch is a different approach to relying on opening up the app every time; it works well and simplifies the control of actions/devices.

The blurb about having some know-how as a prerequisite is fair. This app simplifies controlling things that you're already controlling - if you're wanting to control home automation devices that you currently can't control, then this app isn't the answer.

I can't yet work out what the Watch glance is meant for, other than telling me to enable voice control. I'd like the option to put an action/actions into the glance, but can't immediately see that that is supported.

Otherwise, this is filling a need I didn't know I had. Fab.

No Support

Unfortunately the developer does not support this app. I have contacted them through their website 3 times with a question about geofencing and they haven’t had the courtesy to reply. Also you can’t even download the documentation from their site. All you get is a text file pointing you to some ridiculously complicated wiki reader. Would it be so hard to be able to download a pdf ?

Glitchy

Bought this app with moderate hopes of a functional remote for Mi-Light devices.
App is inconsistent in its program recording/recall. You edit one preset then another corrupts.

Apple Watch remote side of the app has voice control but app needs to be in foreground and open on your main iOS device to implement the commands from the watch.

As I don’t want to run a device with this app constantly open, plus its inability to remember presets you add in.
I’ve put it on the back bench hoping it may be fixed in time...

Wrote to developer a week ago for some support.
Zero reply as yet.
