App used to have a keyboard for command entry. It no longer does. I'm hearing impaired, so voice commands are problematic. I really would appreciate having the ability to type commands again. Also, because only voice commands, and my hearing issues, it rarely understands what I'm saying. *a year later and this is still an issue. seriously, a keyboard option for us with hearing issues. come on. 7-25-25

you've made it extremely hard to switch homes. it was a nice pull down menu. sorry, but without location based features, I'm having to switch homes even more frequently. extremely poor decision (I'm going to have to switch to "home assistant". ) no!!! I can't use nest occupancy status as a way to control things that worked perfectly with location based triggers.

This app doesn't allow even basic features that are available in other home automation apps. For example, you can't group like items together. I have a lamp that has 3 different smart bulbs in it but there is no way to group them together unless they are the only smart bulbs in the room. Even if they are, you get a generic name based on the room they are in that you can't change.
