HomeScan for HomeKit App Reviews

It would be useful if I could set the output to be sorted by signal strength. That would let me get right next to a device so it appears at the top of the list, and then select it so I can monitor the signal as I move around the house. Also, instead of ‘Unknown’ it would be good to see a device’s MAC address (if it’s available) so I can tell one device from the next. The “Support” link off the App Store doesn’t take me to an actual support page.

Some of the unnamed accessories seem to remain a little bit obscure but it’s a neat app.

I was looking to better understand why some of my HomeKit devices didn’t respond all the time. This app lets you scan the signal strength of each device it can see from you location. Move around the house to see how signal improves or degrades between any device and your current location.

This is an awesome tool to help diagnose signal issues, not just for HomeKit. What a great tool!

It’s a useful app for those HomeKit tech tweakers, but it would be nice to have the established devices go to another page or stand still and have the other ones use average of max and min so they would keep jumping around. If you have a bunch of devices like I do you’ll see what I’m saying. It’s a challenge for sure.

I love this. it would be helpful to be able to turn on various attribute visibility... mac addr, type of packets, vendorID etc. it would also be helpful to be able to associate BT addresses with devices that are airplay/otherwise-home-related, as opposed to JUST sensors. but regardless... Nicely done!!!

The signal strength for every device just jumps around frantically, so this app isn’t useful in any way. All of my HomeKit Bluetooth devices do seem to show up, so that’s something.
