Ratings and reviews

If you're using the homseer mobile app, this app is a must have accompanyment. Once you get your favorite devices selected, this will become your goto control app. The plugin on the controller side installs and runs without any issues, better than many other hs plugins that way. I'd live to see an Android widget added, but its pretty darn handy as-is.

If Dashboard could replace Imperihome this would be the best app... All the 'ingredients' are there, but Dashboard have not been improved in a long time. They are too difficult to create (need text edit in PC to make it fast) and missing required features like ImperiHome has.

This is the app to use with Homeseer. With the dashboard feature you can customize and when done it will even back the settings up to the server. It also adds device history, push messages and geolocation to Homeseer. It should not be free!
