Good Afternoon,

 

I just released a new IOS app in the Apple App Store called HomeTap (its icon is blue). Current features include:

 

- Local and remote access

- Insteon On/Off & Dimmer devices

- Insteon Thermostats

- Z-Wave Deadbolts

- Elk M1 Alarm Panel

 

Welcome any and all feedback - especially those of you with lots of device types (might have you send me a node dump via PM).

 

Thanks,

Cameron

Good to see it in the app store!  Would you consider it to be compatible with the 5.0.x firmware?  When I beta tested this earlier, I think you were still running 4.x and some things were a bit wonky with 5.0.x.

One quick question... Does it support ISY Portal?

 

I get no results searching the AppStore on my iPad for ‘hometap’

It looks like it's an iPhone app (change the filter to see it) and runs in portrait mode if installed on the iPad.

The filter is grayed out. I’ve searched for other iPhone only apps and can find those, so I’m not sure that’s the issue...

Hmmm, it works for me on my iPad Pro running 11.2.1. You don’t see/get this?

I ran into lots of medical and family issues so the app development halted for 7-8 months... but I had several folks try it recently who were running on 5.0.x and it worked fine (except for the devices I don’t yet support but plan to add as soon as possible) so I believe it should work with 5.x.

 

If you have any issues or have devices that I don’t support pls PM me (if you haven’t already) and send me a node dump.

 

Working with Apple on my Siri integration now too but it’s been a real PITA.

 

Thx!

I’ve been working with Universal Devices on the ISY Portal integration... as soon as they release a version of their Portal that supports real-time/socket connections then my app will work. It’s on their 2018 roadmap.

 

Establishing a real-time connection is critical to my app’s design/architecture... I suppose I could build a refresh layer inside the UI and/or ping the API’s every x seconds but it would be a hack and I’d rather let Universal Device get socket connections working via the Portal.

Without the ability to control ZWave lights, fans, curtains, etc, I see no reason to switch from Mobilinc.

I was able to download the App on my Iphone but no devices show up (logically as I have no Insteon devices, nor the other mentioned above).

Nope...

 

And if you tap Filters at the top left?

Nothing. It’s greed out when there are no search results.

Bizarre. Mine’s not grayed out.

 

 

I got nothin’.

Nothing. It’s greed out when there are no search results.

 

I have an ipad pro running IOS 11...  When open the app store and click search the filters is greyed out too...  But, if I type in hometap and click search the filters dropdown becomes active and I can switch the supports section from iPad Only -> iPhone Only.

On my iPad mini, filter does not show until I type something.

 

After typing something, it is grayed out until the search matches something. Odd.

You’re not the only one: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/8090828. Are you using 11.2.1?

What happens after the 7-day full access trial? I didn’t see any pricing, but maybe I missed it.

For those of you with lots of Z-Wave devices (other than the deadbolt the app already supports), I'm actively working to incorporate more Z-Wave devices but I could use some beta testers and/or node dumps because I have limited devices to work with.

Do you see the future development continuing to be device type specific, or will you move to device type agnostic support from nodedefs once ISY 5.0.X is supported?

If I knew the 5.x production release was weeks away I'd focus all my energy there...  but, I'd like to support as many device types as possible with the production release all-the-while continuing to advance the app (e.g. Siri).  I'm also working on some cloud-based offerings/integrations too (e.g. I have a beta SMS -> ISY offering which allows you to send text commands to your ISY - similar to Alexa but using text messages).

I would be interested in switching from MobiLinc if I could get support for all my devices in one app. But that would mean rather a lengthy list of devices to accommodate me and everybody else. I suggested to Michel and Chris that a generic list of "Device Types" would be useful, that could be used, along with the nodedefs for the natively supported devices and those for the ones supported through node servers, to allow for user interface developers to develop for the the defined list of device types instead of individual devices. Device types such as:

 

COLOR_LIGHT,

DIMMER,

APPLIANCE,

THERMOSTAT,

GARAGE_DOOR,

LOCK,

ALARM_ZONE,

ALARM_PETITION,

etc.

 

I don't know if it will get rolled into the 5.0 architecture, but the ISY would be the right place to do the translation, keeping the UI as device agnostic as possible.

Having a generic list of "device types" would simplify things a lot.  I use some of the ISY metadata to determine what type of device it is but it's clearly not perfect, which is why I'm getting my v1 out in the wild and requesting feedback via PM.

This touches on my request / suggestion for the Mimo-lites that control my curtains. Instead of ON or OFF, I would like to see OPEN or CLOSED in the AC. As I have noted elsewhere in the ISY forum, it is not a big issue as I was able to create a shortcut in Google Home, allowing me to use Open and Close.

Thank you for the APP... It's working well here.. Very good for fast tasks, super easy to enable and disable programs. Cool!
