Home+ 6

I have been searching for a long time to create automations that run only between for example sunset and midnight. This app seems to be the only solution to create automation rules that combine a time of day with sunset or sunrise.

Just purchased the Home+ app now. As far as I can say, it is not worth it. You do not get to set up favourites on the front screen, nor can you arrange the rooms in prefrered order. So, it is for me a step down from HomeKit.

I like the app and there is a lot of nice features but the ability to select certain utilities to show on a favorite page is really missing.

If you’re setting up a smart home using HomeKit only, you’ll hit some limitations quite fast when trying to set up more advanced automation conditions. This app solves that, and gives you access to all the features available within HomeKit, even those not included in Apple’s Home app. I use this app to set up all my automation rules, but continue to use the regular Home app for everyday use.

This is one of the most useless and misleading apps I've ever seen come so highly recommended. First off, it promises compatibility with all HomeKit accessory. This is true to the point where HomePods and Apple TVs are apparently not HomeKit accessories, so the fact they cannot be accessed here while being available in the Apple Home app is hidden away nicely on the website where such technicalities apparently belong. Second, there is no equivalent in this app to the "Home" tab of the Apple Home app, so if you have carefully selected which accessories are favorites and not, this app is not for you. This is a particularly big issue for those with more advanced HomeKit setups that may include dummy devices and similar accessories (e.g. IR learn mode on a Broadlink RM IR module), as these will now flood your only view. Thirdly, the customization options here strectch as far as some icons. You cannot even create a customized layout that goes beyond room divisions. This is basically just a pointless app that removes as many features as it adds, and it doesn't add much. I can see why this is a pay-only app instead of one with IAPs to unlock features, as letting people try before they buy would be a very bad idea.

Well worth the money. Brings more options for programming the various devices. Make sure to read the instructions under the help section in the app. - Sehr gut! :)

I have downloaded the app, and it does nothing! I want my money back! When I am trying to add accessories, the search goes on forever with no results! At this price I would expect it to have been thoroughly tested!

HomePod isn’t available to use in the app.

As I have been moving more and more automations into HomeKit, Home+ has been extremely helpful to me because it can create conditional automations where the regular HomeKit app cannot. This is my primary use of it, and it works perfectly!

Fantastic app for HomeKit management!
