Fantastic app. I use it in conjunction with Global Cache to relay serial messages to my antiquated home automation system. It just works flawlessly. App startup is fast. The learning curve is, as others mentioned, a bit steep but well worth the time. The only thing I'd like to see is the ability to allow a swipe left or right to change pages instead of having to use the menu every time. Oh, and a larger assortment of third party graphics buttons (either free or paid) would be awesome for thos of us who are a bit, shall we say, artistically challenged.

Unlike Harmony, this app actually has a robust theater system remote UI. It would be awesome if you could add functionality to reorder the tabs -- groups -- or at least choose a default startup tab. I linked my lights second, but would rather them show at app startup. With the current code, I'd have to relink all of my services to change the tab order. Thank you.

Hi Paul, Everything in the app can be reordered; tiles, groups, tabs, etc. To reorder tabs, go to the Settings page & click your tab group (typically Home). The items in the Groups list are your tabs. Long press them to drag & reorder. When finished, click the Save button. Finally close the app & reopen it. Thanks for the review!

the app is just what I needed easy to set up and straight forward, and can be customized if required details on the website. One reviewer stated its just an on off switch but surely that is what a wall mount smart screen is at its heart which is how I am using this app. Bear in mind this is a free download and if you want to add to its functions the option is available but takes a bit of hard work and understanding.
