SQ Remote v2.0 has been approved by Apple and released to the App Store. By the time that you read this it should be available to download. If it isn’t there, then please try back after a few hours.
What is different and new in v2.0
Full support for UI4 and the myMiOS service (cp.mios.com). It also continues to support UI2 and UI3 (selected firmware releases only). So if you have a remote unit that you have not upgraded, or do not want to upgrade, SQ Remote will continue to work for you. In addition, legacy support for the findVera service is also included in this version.
It goes without saying that as before, SQ Remote will work with multiple MiOS / Vera systems.
