Description
[ 6/30/2022 - apologies for the crash uploaded 6/28. My first attempt to support Android 12 failed on all devices! It has now been fixed and replaced. It will update automatically if you have not uninstalled the app. I had to completely rewrite the UI and some anomalies remain. If you discover other issues, please report them to me so I can fix them. Giving me a bad review for something I am working to fix only makes me sad. Over the next couple weeks I will be working to fix the following: 1. When the app is loading data from the ISY, it no longer says "LOADING...". This is surprisingly cumbersome to fix and has to do with multi-threading. I need to learn that before I fix it. 2. Gestures in Android 11 and 12 can cause the app to crash. This is generally when you are swiping to exit, so not a huge deal, but I need to teach the app to ignore gestures. Another thing I need to learn before I fix. Basically the app is trying to interpret wherever you lifted your finger while it is exiting, which is why it's crashing then.]
REQUIRED controller: Universal Devices ISY994i. It does not work with any other controller.
Should work on Android 6 (Marshmallow) through Android 12. Recommended screen size: 4" or larger. Works on tablets too.
If you have a problem getting Simple Home Controller working, please don't give it a bad review! Please contact me so I can fix the problem. I am not a big company - I'm just a guy in his basement and this is my first Android app.
I am adding enhancements periodically, especially to support more Insteon and Z-Wave devices. If you have a device that is not yet supported or not working as expected, please contact me.

Welcome to Simple Home Controller, the simple mobile and tablet interface to your Insteon and Z-Wave devices with an ISY994i controller. Simple Home Controller allows you to turn on/off and dim/brighten your devices and scenes. It also allows you to run programs and change thermostat settings. It is not intended as a replacement for more advanced programs. Simple Home Controller is not configurable beyond the connection settings and font size - it relies on the configuration of your hardware. Folders, devices, and scenes will appear exactly as listed in your hardware configuration, except that the folder structure will be "flattened" to reduce the number of clicks to get to your devices. This means if you have nested folders on your controller, only the folders containing modules/scenes will be listed. The otherwise empty parent folders will not appear. By default I have left out the ISY group (which contains every module) and the Auto DR group (which is reserved by Universal Devices for meter interfacing). Simple Home Controller does not write to your controller hardware. It cannot mess-up your programming.

Works very well for me. I find that I can turn x10 devices off and on more reliably (99% of the time) with this than the UD admin console on the laptop (which makes no sense to me) I have had and used this for over a year now and find it reliable and trouble free when I use it. Thanks for an awesome trouble-free app.

Very good start with a controller app. Provides basic, non graphical functionality, feedback and control of most devices linked to your ISY 994i. Seems to be rock solid so far in what it does. I hope that you will continue to add functions. Some suggestions are: 1. Thermostat basic controls are needed! up, down, mode change. 2. Put % numbers on dimming so that we know the level of lights in another room when changing them. We can't always be looking at the lights we are dimming. (-: 3. Need custom widgets for desk top screen activation of specific devices or scenes. Keep up the good work.
★★★★★
Developer is very responsive. App gives me a quick view of my devices without clutter.
