Description

Specifically designed to be a Control Panel for the end-user, HomeGenie Plus is a feature-rich client for HomeGenie (open source home automation server with support for X10, Z-Wave, Philips Hue, Insteon, RFXCom, KNX, UPnP/DLNA and more...).

HG Plus requires latest HomeGenie server release:
http://www.homegenie.it

MAIN FEATURES

- Adaptive layout: automatically arranges widgets to best fit both on phone and tablet.

- Voice control

- UPnP/DLNA both browser and renderer control

- IP camera widget with full screen view

- "Keep Screen On" option: prevent the screen from turning off. Useful for wall-mounted panel installations.

- Parameter statistics and activity log: displays statistics and parameter logs of any configured modules.

- Module preferences: each client device can have its own settings and preference for configured modules.

- "Mini" view: some widgets, as the ones for lights and appliances, can be minified and hide extra options so that they just appear as a quick toggle button.

- Configurable groups: allows choosing modules and groups that will be available to the client device. If HomeGenie server has password protection enabled, only the administrator can change the configuration in order to limit the access from the client.

Definitely worth the money! Never mind the good feeling you get by supporting the author... This app is SO MUCH BETTER than the free version that it's worth the price all by itself. My decades old X10 system has a totally modern feel and features thanks to HomeGenie!

Overall like the app, felt 10 bux was steep but since HG is free and I've never donated I felt here is a good way to give to the cause. There is only one thing I wish could be updated. My motion detector sends sensor.alarm 255 with every trigger (according to the motion detector manual this is by design). But this app shows TAMPERED in big red letters for sensor alarm in the Security Alarm log, and in the motion detector widget. I wish I could choose what to toggle off and and in my case only display status.lever and sensor.tampered. Doesn't affect use, just annoying. In homegenie I just edited the widget to hid it, apparently this app doesn't look at the widget html.

Perfect add on for the homegenie server Worth the money to support development

I really like HG and this is a nice interface. My problem is the lack of normal functions like add remove nodes. The ability to restart HG service would be nice. So i still end up opening the older FREE version for the admin link. If you have alot of devices like i do, when i scroll the screen up or down, it turn devices off and on. Making just the circle active would be a better option than the whole line item. Dont get me wrong, i think HG is the best software out there i would purchase app again.

Good start Looks much better than the fee app. Only giving it 4 stars as the background is black on the top portion on a qhd screen and it makes seperator titles unreadable.

Worth the money! Great app. Looks and functions beautifully. The only thing that it's missing is widgets.

Can you please send a screenshot to the support email? I tried both 1440x2560@560dpi and 1536x2048@xhdpi, but everything looks fine.

Great start Very impressed with the quality of this beta. UI is very well designed and responsive. Developer is very active in this growing community.

Good Start But need more work, like notifications need to work when phone is asleep

GenieLabs March 18, 2016

Agree, notifications will be improved. I was also thinking of a widget for the lock screen and the notification bar, where to show hg status and also a couple of action shortcuts (to quickly control recent switched devices without opening the whole app).

Very useful. Easy to learn.
