Made Things Right

Update: In October of 2026 they reversed course and now include all of the Plus features, including Hub Mode with lifetime licenses. Thanks for doing the right thing! It really is a great app, and I can once again recommend it. If you want to unlock more features of you Apple smart home but are intimidated by Home Assistant, the Controller app is a must-have. I bought a lifetime license for this app less than a year ago after they announced their new Hub Mode because I had a specific use case for it. It was expensive, but I felt okay about it because it was a one-time cost. But now they are putting that very feature behind a paywall, and I feel very much ripped off. It is a good app and unlocks a lot of hidden capabilities of HomeKit, but the Hub Mode was the selling point, and they totally pulled the rug out from under it. I get that they don’t sell hardware and need to make their money somehow, but if you think the feature is worth more, raise the price of the lifetime license moving forward, don’t go back and gouge the people who already paid for it.

Excellent

Now that the developer has reversed course on the lifetime license issue, this has once again found a place in my workflow. Well done.

Fantastic Update

Thanks for making Lifetime, lifetime again. So many features and always adding more!

Automations are not deleted when deleting from HomeKit

The Controller for HomeKit is a great app. I purchased the lifetime quite a while back because I am a power smart home user. That said, I am always having to delete this app and reinstall to clear no longer used automations. When I have to redo an automation, it is NOT deleted in this app. I see automations with numbers, like (lights on) 1, 2, 3, 4, etc) and no way to just clear the list. Not only that, the list of the same automations (not being deleted) adds to the number of automations for Apple Home and when you think you only have 35-40 automations, it stops you from creating more because it is using the numbers in the Controller app. This is the most frustrating thing of the app. If you have fixed it, then thank you. I really want to build on this app for my home but it is an ongoing tedious and time consuming chore to clear old automations no longer in use. PLEASE PLEASE fix this! Thanks

No way to try without purchase?

When launched, he app gives you the choice between two paid plans. Sorry,with no way to test and find out whether it does what I need, or is even any good at what it does, not going to just blindly pay and hope for the best. —— Update: the developer replied that there’s a 7-day trial, so I’ll look for that when I try again. I may have just missed it, but it wasn’t obvious how to do that.

I went all in on workflows and wish I had never heard of Controller

I have the expensive lifetime subscription to this. I was all in on the controller app… Until iOS26 came out and even with the 7.7 update to support iOS 26 the app stopped working for me. It would crash within seconds of opening. Problems on iPhone, iPad, and Mac. None of the hubs would stay up for more than a few seconds. This brought my smart home down. They did not respond to any of my many support requests. Nothing. So painful. I’d built all my automations out with workflows in this app and nothing was working. Today I finished recreating my last controller specific workflow in a new Home Assistant set up I’ve moved to. Home Assistant is HARD and annoying to set up and configure so I’m so mad I had to do this. Controller failed me in the worst way. I’ve give it minus stars if I could. Avoid avoid avoid. ****** Apparently they have changed their ways and have asked for new reviews… I DON’T CARE. This company treated me terribly and I DON”T care what they do know. Don’t trust them. Do not buy this product or subscribe. No. No. No. I have “lifetime” and I deleted the app from these LIARS. There are better options. Do not give them a penny.

Store description

Get more out of your smart home. Your HomeKit and Matter devices can do more than on and off: Controller for HomeKit gives you dashboards you build yourself, workflows that run over several steps, months of history, and a floor plan you control directly. YOUR OWN DASHBOARD Your devices sit where you need them, instead of in a list. - Views you compose yourself from tiles: per home, per person, and if you want, per device. One for the iPad on the wall, one for the iPhone in your pocket. - More than 25 tile variants: devices, scenes, workflows, time, weather, calendar, charts, battery warnings. - Five standard sizes, or drag your own size on the grid. - Visibility conditions: a tile or a whole section appears only when you need it. - Plus widgets for your Home Screen and a view of your own on Apple Watch. CONTROLLER AI Describe what you need in plain language: a dashboard, a scene, an automation or a workflow. Controller builds it, and you adjust it however you like afterwards. MORE THAN A SCHEDULE Two devices become a sequence that thinks along. - Workflows: multiple steps, conditions and branches for sequences a single automation cannot express. - Automations with advanced triggers and conditions. - States: virtual switches that capture how your home currently stands and drive your workflows accordingly. - Custom notifications for anything you want to know about. - NFC tags: one tap and the workflow runs. YOUR SENSORS ARE ALREADY MEASURING Controller remembers the values and makes them readable. - Charts: see how temperature, humidity or battery level develop over weeks and months, across every device and brand. - Maintenance: which battery is empty, which device is unreachable, which automation is broken. - Logs: every activity and every change, traceable. - Smart folders: devices and automations grouped by filters you define. - Floor Plan: scan your home with the LiDAR sensor of your iPhone or iPad and control your devices right on the plan. - Controller Hub: a dedicated iPhone, iPad, Apple TV or Mac runs your workflows automatically. Charts and States require Controller Hub. SHARE THE WORK, NOT JUST THE SWITCHES - Home Sharing: pass your entire setup to the people you live with. For each person you choose between the whole app or only the dashboards you share with them. - Setup codes: your HomeKit and Matter codes stay safe in the app and never get lost. - Backups: save your setup and restore it whenever you need to. Controller for HomeKit runs on iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch and Apple TV. You already own the devices. Controller for HomeKit brings out what is in them.
