Huge improvement over home app

Hated setting all the lights individually in that native home app. This is way better and faster and the dev updates regularly. Probably my most used app. Thanks!

Easy to set up and easy to use

The setup process is very easy. Merely walk around your place to let the app discover your lights. I have Hue and Nanoleaf. It seems to discover all Bluetooth and WiFi devices. Once it has done so, pick the devices that are your lights. Make sure they are in the correct assigned rooms. After the setup, you can control brightness, temperature, color, etc. You can control by room or by light. I hesitate to use the word ‘simple’. It is dead simple, but don’t get the wrong impression, it’s also a joy to use because you don’t have take hours and hours to set it up and try to figure out how the silly thing works.

Simply Awesome!

Just downloaded.. this is fantastic! It solves my frustrations with controlling my HomeKit lights via traditional methods. Super simple and clean.. love it!

Nailed it!

I just want to say, you have NAILED it with this app. You are solving some fundamental and critical usability issues with HomeKit itself that I've not seen any other app do and you are doing it with highly detailed care. I'm an app dev myself, you are showing excellence In your craft, thank you!

Has some possibilities

Updated: Developer added a very slick slider, and the functionality has improved throughout. Detection has improved and this has become a very useful tool. Would love to see other devices outside of lights (cameras / thermostats/ etc…). I’d like to be able to reorder the main screen and also make favorites. Old:I like the auto detect of the rooms. Doesn’t always work, but the concept is good. Perhaps it could be improved over time. I am a little baffled by the functionality of the app though. Every other app uses a slider to increase the brightness of a light, this app has you repeatedly mashing a ‘+’ button. Yes I can hit the settings button and then pick a very small percentage button, but it seems so unintuitive.

The Shortcuts Actions are the killer feature

Cheers to the dev to include Shortcuts actions especially Get Current Room(s), that worth the price of admission all by itself

Best third-party HomeKit app ever!

I can’t believe how well this works. The developer is a genius. I use this multiple times a day to control the 31 lights in my home. Thanks for your hard work!

good start way to go - great support!!!

10 Oct 2023 update: Developer solve my issue in no time. Great support and great App!!! Thanks for the App. Bought the lifetime version. However I have Switches that control several lights. they are seperated on Homekit but shown as one in your App.

An app that quickly gets to the point

I have many all in one HomeKit apps that can do much more than the native home app. They are necessary for a HomeKit power user, but for simple tasks, they are often several clicks to just change the lights. This app gets right to the point. It just allows you to change the light settings for a given room or device. It defaults to a room, and focuses first on the ON/OFF and brightness, and secondarily on color. With the optional upgrade you can train it to automatically figure out which room you are in using the Bluetooth devices that exist in your house. This saves yet another click and makes the app more useful. It is my go to when I just want to update the lights without getting into an argument with Siri.
