HomeSeer Mobile

For years I’ve alway just used HSTouch and still do, but I wanted to give this a try. Marketing folks, show off beautiful displays of the apps capabilities. Must be the Android version, cause the iOS version is horrible. Completely unintuitive, documentation, if you can call it that, contains max 5 lines of text to add a device to the Dashboard. Buggy as a heck, select clear dashboard, select clear and nothing, all my devices are still there. Check out the change logs for the iOS version, hasn’t been touched in just over 2 years. Android had the last update 6 months ago. I love this company, but to put out such trash really tarnishes your image.

Homeseer is a great product - however this app needs a total overhaul. I really wish Homeseer would put some effort towards making their UI look professional. Solid red and green colors with a blinding white background went out of date many years ago.

From website to app. Most difficult install ever and still not working. App won’t accept password even after multiple resets. Useless

I use this every day on iPhone and iPad. Have a dashboard for security, for entertainment, for appliances, for often used, for battery status. It is nice that I am able to integrate my security cameras.

It’s a decent app. Yes there are many things that could be better. But it is simple enough and generally works. I don’t have the patience to buy and build the custom beautiful home screens the designer allows you to make. So this is a fair compromise. I’ll take function (HomeSeer system) over form compared to my dabbles with Vera, smart things, etc...

Dimmer sliders don’t work on widgets.

Only about 50% of my devices show up in the device list of the new app. The older hs3 app never had this problem. Switches and virtual devices appear in the list, but door/ window sensors don’t appear. I ended up creating virtual devices that show their status. These sensors are Homeseer branded items too. The camera / dvr service is anemic at best. The viewing space in the app is reduced by ptz controls that I don’t need. There’s no way to hide the ptz controls. The cloud recording service is useless.

Works great on my iPhone, but the control functions won’t work on my iPad. In other words, on the iPad, it shows status, but no control function. Bummer!

This app is reliable and good improvement over the old one. The app is great because homeseer is so reliable

Works most of the time. Not all functions are passed through the widget, like the dimmer slider. Okay experience but screenshots and what you can do are misleading
