With them, your home can notify you about everything important and lets you immediately respond with the right actions.**
They make your smart home smart. Nevertheless, Apple’s Home app gives you a simplified and limited view of HomeKit’s automations.
Controller lets you leverage all HomeKit features to create the best automations possible, and we put a lot of effort into making it as smooth as possible.
With Controller, you can also use all vendor-specific characteristics.
It’s the best way to keep an eye on your Home from anywhere on your iPhone, iPad, or Mac.
Setting up a smart home is a lot of work. From naming accessories to creating a complex set of automations, it is easy to spend hours on your setup.
Create a Backup so you can always recover if something goes wrong.
However, Backups in Controller let you do much more than just recovering from a broken setup.
They clutter your home and may cause unwanted HomeKit behavior.
Mostly they are easy to fix but hard to find.
Controller allows you to identify, understand and solve the most common issues in your setup.
You need it to add the Accessory to your Home, and you need it again if you want to reconnect the Accessory later.
It’s really annoying when you require the code but can’t find it. Or if it’s printed on the Accessory, but the Accessory is in a hard-to-reach place in your Home.
Controller can store all your codes for you so that they are always at hand when you need them.
Well, except when they don’t.
Sometimes automations don’t work as you expect, or something behaves weirdly.
Logs help you deal with that.
They are a sequence of steps that will be executed consecutively.
Each step is an action in your home, like reading or writing a value.
In comparison to automations, you must start Workflows manually, but they give you much more flexibility.
You get a new accessory, create a new scene here and add a few automations there.
Suddenly you have 30+ automations, and every time you’re looking for one, it takes you some time to find it.
With Smart Folders you can keep track of all the parts in your setup.
