| 2019-11-06 |  | | I have been using this program 15-20 years now. It is the best home automation program. |
| 2019-07-31 | | | It works, but the UI is awful. Hasn't been refreshed in years. There is still no setting to automatically connect to your server when launched. At least the previous version had a large "Connect" button easily located, centered, near the bottom of the screen. Then, for some reason, they decided to make it tiny, and place it in the uppermost right corner - perfect for our large screen phones, right? C'mon, HCA, show this app some love. |
| 2017-11-28 | | | What they DON'T tell you (at least at the time of this writing) is that you have to pay a monthly fee to use the latest HCA with Google Assistant or Alexa... Which of course is the only reason we needed it. The app appears very similar to the UPB software from PCS and we have little need for cross protocol integration (upb with insteon, etc) so basically it is $160 for software that is supposed to provide Alexa support... which it apparently does IF you pay their monthly "cloud account" fee which, at the time of my purchase (and of this writing), is not specified anywhere on their website or in the description here in the play store. This was originally a 1 star review but I updated it to 3 stars because they made it right financially due to the misleading nature of the Alexa support advertising. Still not excited about a monthly subscription requirement for any of my customers that want us to integrate their solution for voice control though. |

| 2016-11-07 | | | Nice app for control of your hca smart home. Internet access to your server is really sweet. |
