Comments on Home Remote for Android

★★★★★ Love this app, wanted a swanky tablet wall mounted with all the tiles, but saw my only option was Home Assistant and a PI. Most of my devices are paired with Alexa but found that app lacking. Then I stumbled across this app....and it looks neat and smart and is so easy to set up. Would if there was a way to add my cheap doorbell cameras into this (aiwit and cloud edge) and if there was some way to add a weather tile on it. But for basic functionality of Wi-Fi lights and plugs it is great.

★★★★★ Better support for Heos, Chamberlain and other hardware than Google home

★★★★★ I found this app while looking for Imperihome replacement. App works as replacement. But at first glance, it looks bland and limited in functions. However, after downloading the GUI Designer from developer's website, and learning on how to use the GUI Designer, the true power of this app is unleashed. The GUI Designer allows me to customize the content of tiles displayed, uses my own icons, even changes the normal state of devices. For example, I have a shut-off valve for water main and I changed normal state to open. And these are just a small portion of capabilities GUI Designer can do. Thumbs up to developer for creating this excellent app.

★★☆☆☆ SHAME!! Most of my smart devices eWeLink and now this NOT supported anymore!! Before this changes I was so happy with this app! All of my smart devices controlled through one neat app, but now after ImperiHome and now Home Remote!? I have to find another solution. It looks like another Good App goes down the drain. Very sad!!

★★☆☆☆ Son off (aka. eWeLink) Removed?? Really?! What is going to be next? Tuya or something else?? What sensors and switches will work then??

★★☆☆☆ I could only connect 5 of my 30 devices. The app does not support blink, ring, Waze, treat life or family devices. All Amazon supported products
