HomePass for HomeKit & Matter

Very handy having my Homekit codes backed up in case I need to remove and re-add a device. The new version looks good, too!

After transferring to a new iPhone 16 Pro Max I lost all my devices recorded in HomePass. After spending hours imputing all my HomeKit devices, it’s not worth the hassle of re-imputing the date.

>We've detected a HomeKit bridge, some accessories you expect to see, may be hidden as bridged accessories do not have unique setup codes. Nothing else I seem to be able to do with this app other than manually add my Phillips Hue Bridge.

A must have for anyone who uses HomeKit! So convenient having all the HomeKit codes in one place. Well done!

As I wrote in my iOS review, before buying this app, reread the description. No app is magic, and all are limited by what Apple will allow a developer to do… I had had many false starts at making notes of my HomeKit codes with free tools. They've always suffered as being too cumbersome. Once I picked up this app, I finished the record keeping project in one session. The addition of custom fields is excellent! I would buy this app again.

I realized (after purchasing) that HomeKit codes have to added manually. This somewhat defeats my purpose for getting the app. I could’ve used a spread sheet to accomplish similar results. I can see the developer has put a lot of time into this, as it’s a polished app, but might I suggest a few additions: Sorting - right now, it seems to be by alphabetical only. Grouping - everything is on one page. I have a ton of HomeKit devices and having a flat layout does present a challenge Better scanning - As another review mentioned, I have to verify each HomeKit code, as the app scanner is not 100% accurate

Before buying this app, reread the description. Does what is says it does, and does it well! I have had many false starts at making notes of my HomeKit codes with free tools. They’ve always suffered as being too cumbersome. I picked up this app a few weeks ago, and finally had an opportunity to use it tonight. I finished this little record keeping project in one session. Finally. The user interface is tight and clean. The mechanisms work well. I would buy this again.

Does it’s job and does it well

Not sure I ever used to set up device that needed resetting. I can see the HomeKit code but I still need to scan it with phone rather than using this app with copy/paste. Perhaps I am using it incorrectly. As well I can’t figure out how to add another Home or how to change the room identification in edit. Seems to randomly leave the field blank or add something like ‘default room’ rather than actual room - and can’t change this. Frustrating. I still have on my iPhone but this app is gathering dust.

I had to double check and rescan 20% of my codes to ensure they were recorded properly. In some cases the app detected a non-numeric character and lacked the error checking to automatically ask to rescan the code.
