Home Remote App Reviews

But new version has made it unusable for my devices. It crashes anytime I activate a scene. Patiently waiting a fix or update. When it was working 5 stars.

Great app awesome customer service!

it will be good if I can redesign the widgets like: button size, making it an image.. also making the buttons flash when click to insure that it responded to the touch

Using Home Remote to control my Indigo automation. Developer is very helpful. So far I have no complaints. Love that I can use Geofencing to trigger actions.

For starters, this is a great app. It works well, is vary stable, and allows you to integrate multiple different systems into one interface. I mostly bought this for the Apple Watch support, as I only have one Raspberry Pi and can make my own interface in there. Setup is a bit tedious, but once it is done, it works well. Pros: Clean interface Stable Extremely customizable Easily integrate multiple different DIY systems (RPi, arduino, etc.) Apple Watch, Notification Center, and speech dictation support Cheap Cons: Latency seems to be poor with the Notification Center. Dont have my Apple Watch yet so I cant comment on that. Cant trigger actions within app, have to use Notification Center. Adding items is somewhat illogical. Once you get used to it it isnt bad, but it still feels like Im making more taps than I need to to accomplish simple tasks. Not concerned about this because you only have to add things once. All in all, this is a great app that serves my needs well. I wish adding an action was more streamlined, and that you could have sliders and switches for on/off and dimmable circuits. Id like to add an arduino to my mini home automation project, but would be limited to making separate buttons for On, Off, dim, somewhat bright, etc., which is a but cumbersome. Other than that, its a great price for a great app that makes my life easier. Thanks for the hard work!

This makes a great addition to Indigo home automation software. Using its geofencing feature to control Indigo actions is easy to set up and reliable. (I tried many others). And being able to put buttons directly on the iPhone’s Today screen to control Indigo actions without opening the app is a time-saver. I’m sure there will be many new features and improvements to come!

There are a few apps that claim to do what Home Remote does, but this is the best one Ive found. Its really flexible, extendable, and the developer provides awesome support. I cant believe its so inexpensive - its worth so much more!

This app is great! I second a previous reviewers comments about using with indigo home automation software. Using beacons, I found it to be the most reliable presence monitoring app Ive tested. Having buttons on the today screen to control devices is just icing on the cake. Pair it with the desktop app, and youve got a real winner. I had some minor configuration issues when I first purchased, but the developer was awesome in helping me work through them. Cant recommend highly enough!

I use this app to control my 16 room house, which is fully automated with Indigo. My drive lights come on when my wife enters the area, which is great as it makes her feel safer and we use beacons around the house to manage it in to zones. Brilliant app and easily worth $20. It is complex, but it does so much that is to be expected. Every update makes this app more amazing.

This is an amazing app, very easy to configue and the best of all is the great support. Excellent work!

This app is fantastic!! I have been using Indigo home control for years and now I have a remote every where. I can open the garage door as I come back from walking our dog. Turn on outside lights from the yard. Enable my alarm system with geofencing. And so easy to program! Thanks.

This app lets me access parts of my HomeKit devices and other systems on multiple interfaces

Works great with my MiLight bulbs. A couple of bugs but better than the rest. When adding actions for MiLight the IP search icon must be pressed even if it already contains the desired IP. Otherwise exactly what I was looking for.

After a little initial fear that I had wasted my money I started to find the app very useful. This is to enable automation from your wrist and not the phone. This concept took me a little while to grasp but I finally got it. It would be nice to be able to use the phone as well.

Im impressed with it so far.
