I've been a fan of Authomation for a long time and have it installed on a number of devices around the home. However I've come across Imperihome after installing my netatmo stuff (recommended by the forums elsewhere, thanks guys). I've only been using it for a few days and have to say that so far I'm quite impressed. The fastest app I've found for switching vera is so far homewave in the ipad, commands are instant, however this app is the same commands are instant so that's my first like.
Secondly the ability to be able to customise things such as icons etc, yes I know that's not a big deal but really does make things looks much more polished, for example I've got a cheap tablet running in my hallway for controlling things when coming in/out of the house and it really does look great with this running.
A major plus is the fact that the app can control various others items, and I'm sure as this list grows it will be the way that home automation goes in the future as various formats come and go and the struggle for a home automation standard continues (quite why in this day and age no one is able to resolve that I'll never know but its an age old chestnut). I look forward to see how it grows in this respect.
Currently my set up has all the scences not assigned to rooms as I like to not clutter up the rooms in authomation and just leave them in the global view. I've noticed that this app only pulls scences into view if they are room assigned, and that means you cannot see them even when trying to set up short cuts to scences on the screen. I suspect this will be overcome by me creating a room call access or something similar, is this what other people do with scences or does everyone else always assign them to a room ?
The homewave app on ipad does a really cracking job of controls for the vera hue app, it would be nice to see a similar execution in this app as currently I can't see any way to control colours etc direct from the app. I've seen mentioned that there might be a "pro" version coming up, perhaps that will contain such things. Whilst taking about the pro app I guess there might be more icon options etc, certainly that would be nice as icons for desk lamps etc might be nice to be different from the standard light bulb.
So anyone else using this, I assume so ? Certainly I've been quite impressed and look forward to what else it can do. Looks like I'll be running two apps for a while along side each other to see which one I end up using the most. The UI on this is very nice to look at gives a really pro feel more like the expensive installations that people have in huge houses (not a domain I'll ever play in I suspect).
Looking forward to see what's next.
