HomeLog for HomeKit App Reviews

HomeKit can sometimes be a black box. You have absolutely no idea why it’s doing what it’s doing. Things change state for seemingly no reason. Devices show no response. Figuring out what is actually going on is incredibly difficult in those instances. Luckily this app makes that process SO much easier. Having visibility into changes overtime to your HomeKit setup is incredibly useful. Did I mention the developer is also incredibly responsive and looks to be planning new features all the time?

I always found it frustrating that I didn't have any easy way to the various HomeKit events as they occurred throughout the day. This solves that problem in an easy and unubtrusive way. I just leave the helper app running on my Mac (which runs 24/7), and a complete log is stored away for when I need it. Bonus points to the developer for making this a "universal" purchase that also gets you the iOS version (though the Mac is a better fit since the app needs to be actively running to work). All in

This just allowed me to reset my homekit network (devices were saying no response). I’m not sure what called this to happen but if I can fix once in a full moon outage by opening this app, I’ll take it! Thank you!
