Signals for HomeKit

Nice little app that fills a market gap (for functionality that should be baked in standard with Philips hue) but… …not being able to pick a single preset for a set of lights seems like a pretty big oversight that shows the app’s infancy (I have to manage each light individually, there are no global group settings). Additionally the ‘pulse’ setting is imperceptible as it is too fast. This should be tuned with respect to the product that it is being used with so it’s actually a functional feature. In the developers defence it seems like hue light bulbs have a slight delay hard coded into them for soft colour transitions, but this should probably be explained to the user, or a solution implemented. Flash & pulse should really be called pulse and strobe. Or just call it flash with an adjustable frequency slider. Or whatever. Considering that this is a paid app & there are still bugs (sometimes the flash duration doesn’t update), lack of what I would consider to be basic functionality such as light groups, a slightly clunky UI that looks about 2 years behind (I was tapping on the turtle for about 5 minutes to make it flash faster before realising that it’s indicative of the mode, this should cycle the setting or at minimum show a tool tip) and no real extensible features (flashing between 2 colours/a group of colours would be nice) I cannot recommend purchasing this app at this time.

Would love the ability to use a signal as part of an automation, ie: when I sensor detects something.

The app is nice and easy to use. The support is excellent had a question about a specific use and the respond was quick.

Our lights flash to remind our young children that it’s time for bed. Priceless.

I really want to like this app, but I’ve bounced off it for a somewhat fussy reason. Imagine I have my lights at 25% white, and a strobe effect set for 80% blue. On most lights, colored light is much dimmer than white light. The way this app works, when the strobe kicks in, it will bring the lights up to 80% white first, then switch them to blue. This always creates a huge and startling flash in my house. I want to use the lights kind of like the visual equivalent of a chime, not a fire alarm. The app is a neat idea, but there’s no use case I can think of that is worth the panic/stress it induces.

Signal claims to work with automations, but it doesn’t. I have no use for this application. I tried to get refund but was denied twice. I basically gave the developer a free 5 bucks.

Bought this because I heard about the integration of HomeKit and Shortcuts, and looked forward to tying some of my Aqara devices to my automations. When this app works, it works well and as advertised. Would be worth every penny. The other 90% of the time, it does not work for me. There's no support or help, which I am frustrated by for a paid app.

My lifx bulbs are not showing up in your app. Even though they are showing up in the apple HomeKit app. Hopefully you can fix this issue in the future. Thank you for your help.

App does not work with my MacBook Pro and this was not clear before I purchased the app. App says ineligible for refund so this is now just a waste of money.

I like the concept and it is made well. However, aside from the pulse command, I don’t believe anything done through this app would be awfully hard to make a shortcut for. Perhaps I missing something? Nevertheless the app has a good foundation to grow on.
