I have the lifetime subscription and have just updated my Controller app to the latest release. I know what I will be doing most of tomorrow. Setting up my smart home rooms in the Controller app.
-
Can’t wait to try! Have used controller for a while but have never unlocked 1/3 of its great features maybe this will inspire me to use it more!! Thx
-
I definitely use Controller for HomeKit and have the lifetime license. One warning about the new update is you can't scan a room, save, go off and do something else, scan another room, scan a further room, scan the common hallway, and expect to stitch separate scans back together into one floor plan. You should also have everything in the house uncluttered and furniture where you want it before you start. Then you have to have the battery charged and the time to scan the whole house all at once.

That’s floor plan looks clean!
-
Like always, Shane. Great video I have been looking for something like this for a while and definitely will be making the purchase for Controller for HomeKit.
-
Love this update, have been waiting for this for a while. I was hoping Apple would update their Home app with something just like this. I have the annual Controller subscription, but I may be upgrading when my renewal comes up!
-
Thanks Shane! Appreciate your work!
-
Great video as always, Shane. I will be trying this soon.
-
This is going straight on my wall-mounted iPads. I love this look and hope it will make it easier for the family (read: wife. The kids have mastered it for a while) or guests. I might even use a second build for guest mode when we are hosting a party so that I can limit the easily accessible devices.
-
Darn I wish I could do this with my iPhone 12. Time to reach out to a friend. Haha. Thanks for the video.
-
Great Video Shane! I have also the lifetime version of Controller. It’s really worth it. Floor plan I will setup today, Notifications is really useful too, a bit complicated to setup though. I have planned to learn the workflow section also, it’s som kind of more complex automations I guess. I don’t see yet how to use it properly.
-
This is so cool. Added my floor plan and accessories. The scanning process was simple, but all my rooms are small. I kept getting a 'Move further away' message. It picked up the cat as a small table and missed a couple of small storage units. I'll try again tomorrow.
-
I was hoping you would do a video on this. It’s a game changer.
-
This is cool. May do a test of it if I can find time. Previously, I used the Lidar to scan the house within one of the UniFi Apps and wasn’t getting good results. Perhaps this is a better process. Your scans looked pretty decent. Good video. Thanks for the content.
-
Wow. That looks awesome. I like the fact that there’s a lifetime license too.
-
2:22 if this isn’t my life lol .. wife on the couch with phone as I’m messing with some tech
-
I like how you named your housed "Whatley Resort". I'ts cute but do you get a lot of guests?.
-
I'm going to have to try using the Lidar camera OUTDOORS because all of my devices are on the OUTSIDE of my home. I have a great many WILDLIFE CAMERAS and lights outdoors. Of course, there are switches also so I can turn on or off banks of cameras or lights.
-
Does one subscription covers multiple platforms? Thanks!
