Comments on HSBuddy for Android

★★★★☆ Aaron Levey · Apr 26, 2020

Good app that could be Great if it had a Dashboard feature to make it a control panel like HS touch and Imperihome

★★★★★ R Slater · Apr 16, 2023

Once you get past the learning curve for building dashboards this app is indispensable for your Homeseer system. Also, dashboards can be uploaded and then downloaded to other devices. Fantastic!

★★★★★ Troy Lattouf · Mar 7, 2021

Works awesome, thanks. Would love to be able to adjust font size in widgets, so we could get more screen real estate.

★★★★☆ Brian Pollock · Apr 15, 2024

Really solid app. I like it better, and find that it actually works better, than the default homeseer app.

★★★★★ Anthony Gurrieri · Jul 26, 2018

This app is by far the best app to be used with a homeseer controller. I love how you can send notification to the app by configuring events in homeseer. The app allows you to set up favorites in your dashboard for devices and also events to trigger. The only thing I wish I can do is view my Nest cameras on the camera link. Everything else works like a dream, and I'm so very happy IHS buddy exist thank you for the hard work kudos to Antonio!!!!!

★★☆☆☆ CONFRENCE Room · Jul 27, 2021

Far from something like imperihome. Two stars for at least trying. So, keep improving it, maybe one day you'll get close.

★★☆☆☆ Mike B · Jul 23, 2018

I just installed this app to compare it with HS Touch. The first thing I tried was to set the temperature on my Z-Wave thermostat. I frequently do this in the HS Touch app. Apparently, the app cannot adjust the set point on my Z-Wave thermostat. I uninstalled the app.
