Play Simple Home Controller on PC

Supported controller: Universal Devices ISY994i. It does not work with any other controller. I am willing to consider supporting any controller that has a REST API interface. Manufacturers can contact me via email.

Supported Android versions: Ice Cream Sandwich through Pie.
Recommended screen size: 4" or larger. Works on tablets too.

If you have a problem getting Simple Home Controller working, please don't give it a bad review! Please contact me so I can fix the problem. I am not a big company - I'm just a guy in his basement and this is my first Android app.

I am adding enhancements periodically, especially to support more Insteon and Z-Wave devices. If you have a device that is not yet supported or not working as expected, please contact me.

Please see the web site for complete setup instructions:

Welcome to Simple Home Controller, the simple mobile and tablet interface to your Insteon and Z-Wave devices with an ISY994i controller. Simple Home Controller allows you to turn on/off and dim/brighten your devices and scenes. It also allows you to run programs and change thermostat settings. It is not intended as a replacement for more advanced programs. Simple Home Controller is not configurable beyond the connection settings and font size - it relies on the configuration of your hardware. Folders, devices, and scenes will appear exactly as listed in your hardware configuration, except that the folder structure will be "flattened" to reduce the number of clicks to get to your devices. This means if you have nested folders on your controller, only the folders containing modules/scenes will be listed. The otherwise empty parent folders will not appear. By default I have left out the ISY group (which contains every module) and the Auto DR group (which is reserved by Universal Devices for meter interfacing). Simple Home Controller does not write to your controller hardware. It cannot mess-up your programming.
