Home+ 6

…lack of decent icon options holds it back. Please add more icons for devices and scenes. Also, when using a widget it doesn’t use the icons you’ve set for the scenes and just uses generic house icon which is confusing when you have a few scenes with similar names.

several emails sent, zero respose

After Home, randomly one day, decided to no longer show any scenes and would not allow me to re-create them either, I turned to Home + 6 to try and figure out what was going on. Home+ 6 actually showed me that the scenes were still there and for some reason Home was choosing not to show them (and no it wasn’t a ‘Favourites’ thing, they just don’t appear anywhere in Home). Importantly it allowed me to manage this logically and backup and restore settings. I would heartily recommend this app

Don’t waste your money on this. Buggy and not as good as the native Home app.

I hadn’t realised just how good this app is!!!! Have now added single-click actions to boost heating in one area, and open/ close garage door. All from the widgets and Apple Watch. So happy, thank you.

Since the last update the app has become terribly slow. In comparison, the native Home app and the Hive app control devices almost instantly but in Home+ 6 you are left for ages looking at ‘Updating’ status of devices. It is marginally better on local Wi-Fi, but remote isn’t good at all. Any plans to look into and fix this?

I have Aqara TRV’s controlling my radiators and Home+ needs to be updated to work with these. Currently the app can’t recognise when the radiators are at target temperature to turn my main thermostat on and off (the reason I paid £12.99 for this App 😐) Please update and I will review at 5* !!

Crash at start promptly fixed. Thanks

I literally bought this a couple of weeks ago to use the (old style) widgets. Now they have been replaced by new widget that don’t offer any functionality that you couldn’t get with shortcuts but a far less space efficient.

Really good home automation app but scene organisation could do with some hopefully easy work. Either folders for scenes, or room/zone based grouping for scenes or a list view so we can swipe through quickly and use the alphabet picker on the right side like most apps. Any of these or even all as an option we can toggle would greatly improve the experience for users with 100s of scenes. Also it’s nice that you don’t have to create scenes to control automations but then a scene is auto generated with a code string name that users may not recognise so maybe a pop up warning if you create an automation and choose accessory controls instead of a scene so that it tells you one will be automatically created for you.
