Indigo Touch

It’s the best tool for working with the “revived” Insteon. The ability to import would be nice.

This version of Touch works as well for me as the 2.xx versions with one exception: when the app connects via Bonjour something happens to the png files. It can’t find some and others are the wrong sizes. The web page version displays normally. I resolved this by manually entering the database file via https. Is Touch finding a previous version of the database via Bonjour? I looked on both my iPad and the Mac mini server without finding one. I tossed all previous versions of Indigo and their app support files. I also tossed all affected png files from the device folder and reentered.

With the upgrade to the latest version, voice controls do not work with the companion app, Indigo Touch. Supposidly there's a workaround but I haven't been able to get that working. In my opinion, that should be built in to the app and not require other solutions.

I have been using Indigo for more than 10 years to control every system in my house, including lighting, alarm, HVAC, AV, irrigation, security, etc. It is very well-designed, incredibly powerful and completely reliable. It is by far the best home automation system control I’ve ever used, including the old corporate standbys of Crestron and Control4. Indigo is far more flexible and intuitive to program. The devs are continually growing and updating Indigo’s capabilities and there is a formidable community of users who also contribute greatly to the system by way of professionally functional plugin-ins that address many broad and niche uses for a wide variety of devices, the most I’ve ever seen. All the major control systems are compatible and fully integrated into Indigo. Can’t recommend highly enough.

my whole home is automated using indigo and indigo touch. The applications have enough depth to do just about anything you would want but I still easy to get started with.

Excellent program, like the interface and the great support. There are usually quick fixes and updates, although there are some issues that take time like the fix to get it working with iTunes 11. Overall this is a great program and I choose this over the smarthome java application for the isy99.

It’s reliable and integrates a lot of devices, thermostats, alarm systems, ceiling fans, motion/temp sensors, watering systems, security cameras, etc. into one easy to use interface. We completely depend on it, it’s amazing. Just buy whatever devices you need from Amazon and plug them into Indigo, which can run on a Mac Mini (suggested 2018 or newer) from anywhere in your house. No wiring or miss and fuss. Although, you might want a licensed electrician to install outlets and switches. Many devices plug into existing outlets or are battery powered. We’ve been using it since version 1 in 2003 or 2004. Indigo forever!

This app hasn’t been updated for many years. Not sure it’s still supported.

This is a really well-written app that works smoothly and reliably. I just wish they’d give it a small update because its UI doesn’t fill the screen on modern iPhones.

I used to use this app all the time starting 10 years ago when there wasn’t much competition in the Home Automation space for iOS. Unfortunately, the developers have more or less abandoned this app and have not updated it since before the iPhone X. So it looks old and doesn’t even fill the screen properly. It’s a real bummer, because as I said, it was once very useful, but as it is right now, it’s hopelessly out of date. I hope the developers read this review and realize that the clock is ticking. They are going to be out of business soon if they don’t get their act together, because other offerings in the automation space are simply far superior.
