Indigo Touch App Recensioni

It’s the best tool for working with the “revived” Insteon. The ability to import would be nice.

This version of Touch works as well for me as the 2.xx versions with one exception: when the app connects via Bonjour something happens to the png files. It can’t find some and others are the wrong sizes. The web page version displays normally. I resolved this by manually entering the database file via https. Is Touch finding a previous version of the database via Bonjour? I looked on both my iPad and the Mac mini server without finding one. I tossed all previous versions of Indigo and their app support files. I also tossed all affected png files from the device folder and reentered.

With the upgrade to the latest version, voice controls do not work with the companion app, Indigo Touch. Supposidly there's a workaround but I haven't been able to get that working. In my opinion, that should be built in to the app and not require other solutions.

I have been using Indigo for more than 10 years to control every system in my house, including lighting, alarm, HVAC, AV, irrigation, security, etc. It is very well-designed, incredibly powerful and completely reliable. It is by far the best home automation system control I’ve ever used, including the old corporate standbys of Crestron and Control4. Indigo is far more flexible and intuitive to program. The devs are continually growing and updating Indigo’s capabilities and there is a formidable community of users who also contribute greatly to the system by way of professionally functional plugin-ins that address many broad and niche uses for a wide variety of devices, the most I’ve ever seen. All the major control systems are compatible and fully integrated into Indigo. Can’t recommend highly enough.

my whole home is automated using indigo and indigo touch. The applications have enough depth to do just about anything you would want but I still easy to get started with.

Excellent program, like the interface and the great support. There are usually quick fixes and updates, although there are some issues that take time like the fix to get it working with iTunes 11. Overall this is a great program and I choose this over the smarthome java application for the isy99.

It’s reliable and integrates a lot of devices, thermostats, alarm systems, ceiling fans, motion/temp sensors, watering systems, security cameras, etc. into one easy to use interface. We completely depend on it, it’s amazing. Just buy whatever devices you need from Amazon and plug them into Indigo, which can run on a Mac Mini (suggested 2018 or newer) from anywhere in your house. No wiring or miss and fuss. Although, you might want a licensed electrician to install outlets and switches. Many devices plug into existing outlets or are battery powered. We’ve been using it since version 1 in 2003 or 2004. Indigo forever!

This app hasn’t been updated for many years. Not sure it’s still supported.

This is a really well-written app that works smoothly and reliably. I just wish they’d give it a small update because its UI doesn’t fill the screen on modern iPhones.

I used to use this app all the time starting 10 years ago when there wasn’t much competition in the Home Automation space for iOS. Unfortunately, the developers have more or less abandoned this app and have not updated it since before the iPhone X. So it looks old and doesn’t even fill the screen properly. It’s a real bummer, because as I said, it was once very useful, but as it is right now, it’s hopelessly out of date. I hope the developers read this review and realize that the clock is ticking. They are going to be out of business soon if they don’t get their act together, because other offerings in the automation space are simply far superior.

Look at the version history. This app was updated 5 years ago. Meanwhile Indigo began a subscription model years ago. So now you’re locked into paying yearly for Indigo and this app which literally still doesn’t fill any iPhone screen larger than an 8. Indigo is a small operation which does what it does well and the developers are smart, helpful and responsive. But I really think it’s shameful how little attention this app has gotten. They say they users would rather they focus on voice control through Alexa/Siri etc but, even all these years later, the interface for smart assistants is both tricky and rudimentary. And in the meantime this app is woefully outdated. It works but there are no widgets, no Siri or Shortcuts hooks, nothing worthy of a modern home automation system. It’s a total drag.

We have relied on this app ever since it became available. From our phones we run lights, alarms, irrigation, and more. It is nicely designed and is well-supported.

I have been using Indigo with Insteon devices for almost 10 years. It’s always been fantastic. I love the community providing plug-ins for many different sources. I’m not much of a programmer but this tool has allowed me to be so creative in setting scenes and scenarios to act upon. I have to say I am shocked that some bigger company has not swallowed them up.

This App will not work with Apple’s latest software release.

Indigo remains one of the most capable home automation systems available. I hope it can have a rebirth to expand capability to Matter compatible products of the future. This system can easily be configured to work 100% locally. Allowing only its owner to know who does what when.

I’m a long-time user of the indigo Home automation system. This app allows me to securely control all devices in my smart home whether at home or away. We have a number of older iPads hanging on walls throughout the house running this app. It’s a great way to give you a futuristic type house. Visitors are amazed at what we can control.

No major updates in the 5+ years I’ve used it.

Use the app daily. Good control and connection from anywhere.

Works well. Pretty remarkable all that can be done with this app.

Apple Watch is no longer supported. Actually it hasn’t been supported for some time and I was waiting patiently for an update. My patience is running out. Come on Home Remote.

I use the app in conjunction with a complex home system with 50 or so switches, a dozen controllers, and 50 or so conditional schedules (evening lights on etc). The initial hardware (17 years ago) was X10 based, but about 50% has now been replaced by Insteon dimmer switches. Indigo perfectly supports this mixed technology allowing me a smooth and inexpensive transition. The app is very simple to use and works extremely well. The technical support team is fantastic. Both in their expertise and the responsiveness. The one thing I would recommend them to add is the Home Pod, Alexa, and Google voice interface for the app. Perhaps initially just HomePod as it is in the same echo system. Special kudos to Matt from the tech team who expertly debugged en error caused by another Mac that ran in the background an old and long forgotten Indigo server.

Because I have Macs I bought into this system quite a few years ago. I kept hoping it would get better but it has only gotten worse. Let’s start with the fact that your Mac has to be running all the time for any of the functions ( lights off/on; lights dim, sprinkler on etc) to work. More than 90% of the time not all commands are executed. I’m never surprised anymore to see that my outdoor lights failed to turn on or off, that the lights don’t dim to the desired amount set in preferences and on and on. I completely switched from X10 to Z wave hoping that would resolve some of the command issues all to no avail. And should your Mac crash while I’ve out-nothing will turn off or on. I am slowly switching over to the Kasa system that doesn’t require a computer to run it as I am only doing simple on off and dim sequences. So far that system has performed flawlessly. Don’t waste your money or time with Indigo as it is not worth it

This app has become an indispensable part of my Home Automation system. I need to be able to see the values of a number of variables when I am away from the house, and this app allows me to do that. Now if the developer would just add geofencing capability, it would be perfect.

My Indigo, aside from automating house lights and such, also automates the play of music through the house using Airfoil. My main use of Touch is to select a second source of music if I don’t like what the present chosen schedule. A simple hit of a button will switch me to a playlist, internet radio station, or connect to the radio that feeds the in-line input of the Mac Mini that runs Indigo.

I’ve been using their software for years to control my house, and it rocks. This is the mobile version of their software, but it’s just for controlling things. Think of it as a remote control for your house. You set up all the devices from their Mac software.

Easy to use, simple interface. How about a watch app next :)

Great app for the best Mac home automation software. Now 64bit & iOS 11 compatible.

This app works will with Indigo home automation and I depend on it. It's a 5 star app.. With iOS 10.3 I'm getting warnings that the app will no longer be compatible with the next upgrade to iOS. I just received (6/29/17) an e-mail from the developer and they are working on a 64 bit version to be released soon! Makes me very happy, especially that they took the time to search me out and let me know. Awesome.

Good app for the best home automation platform on the market.

We desperately need an update. It's been well over a year with no update(s) and Apple keeps sending alerts about future compatibility with Indigo Itouch. Apple has warned developers about there change to their new file system for 2 years and its time for Perception Automation to finally make it happen. Thanks,

Great app for home automation. Overdue for an update but still very useful and beneficial.

It works like a charm. The only sad part is that it doesn't work over Cellular data. But that's probably a safety measure so whatever.

Has worked flawlessly. Easy to use.

Good for monitoring and turning lights on and off. Needs location services, automation options.

Almost 2 years old. I get a notice each time that it will show my phone down. Now it won't connect to remote server anymore.

This app was somewhat helpful prior to the most recent release of iOS. However now that iOS 10 is available this app has become incredibly slow and unstable. It is been over a year since the last update and I hope Nguyen is coming shortly. Until then I suppose I will just need to use the web interface to my indigo server.

I have used Indigo since version 2. When mobile devices became ubiquitous, I anticipated a mobile app. The Indigo app has become indispensable and replaced most of my use of X10 and INSTEON controllers. I can't imagine my iPhone without thisapp.

Love it, top to bottom. Great interface, loads of power. Would love to see and  Watch App at some point!

I hate it! People could die if dependent on the this. It says the light is on but is not. Other lights work but where I need it most it has shut down without any warning.

Perfect app that is flexible and works seamlessly with Indigo. An essential edition to Indigo.

I've been using Indigo for years and it just keeps getting better. I use indigo touch from anywhere to control my HVAC when I'm away.

I recently switched from Vera to Indigo and have made more progress with this tool in 1 month than I did in a year of work with Vera. I upgraded my Vera to version 7 and started having issues - that was the last straw. Vera only handles my door locks now.

Indigo is the best by far. Wasted to much money and time on "other" home automation platforms. Thanks Inidgo!!!

I have been using this app for many years. It reminds me every several months to write a review so I finally got around to it. This app has done everything I've asked it to do with flying colors. It has remained stable over multiple updates and the updates have always arrived in a timely manner. I wish all apps were this competent. One outstanding feature is the reflection integration. This allows the app to connect via Wi-Fi or cellular and it sets itself up automatically without any configuration needed on the app.

I have been using Indigo for a decade and touch since it launched. The development team continue to keep Touch up-to-date and have achieved a product that is useful and stable with a great and easy to use interface. Like others have already confirmed Touch is the most useful App on my iPhone.

A useful app when it can find (over wifi) the local Indigo server. Often, it can't. If it could it would make a lot of remotes redundant.

While this app is free, the companion desktop app costs $200. And for that price, I have very high expectations, bug-free software. But this app can’t stay in-sync with my lights, making it simply not worth the price. When I manually turn a light on or off, I want the app to correctly display the state of the light, and for $200, I don’t think I’m asking for too much.

App is very convenient and easy to use. I love being able to shut off all the lights my kids have left on at night with a few simple taps on my phone.

By far the best MAC home automation software available today. Lots of 3rd party extensions available and the ability to do very complex automation tasks.
