Understanding the new Activity types is the first step. With our unmatched support for RTSP, ONVIF, HomeKit cameras, NestCam, and now even Arlo, there is no other app even close to bringing together everything like we do.Īs with any major release, there are terminology changes and usage changes that may require tweaks to your configuration. Support for the ONVIF standard also now makes discovery and setup of new cameras much simpler.
Video cameras are again taken to a new level in 5.5 with the introduction of experimental Netgear Arlo Camera support. Migrate your usage of home devices to the Homebar and the new Homebar Scenes feature while your new customizations instead focus on refining your Action Panels to control the actual devices better. Moving buttons to the ideal location is one of the best reasons to customize an Action Panel. In one market, the Info button may be the most important button, and in another the same device will use Guide as the most important. For instance, particular devices treat different buttons as critical based on geographic market. There will always be legitimate reasons for customization. The Homebar now provides exactly that for most home devices without the need to spend any time on customization. The most common reason for building Remote Designs was to create a panel of controls for home devices like lights. A primary reason people customized Remote Designs in the past is obviated by changes in the architecture of the app. Anyone building new customizations should consider what you were doing prior to simply building it again.
Give yourself time to rebuild any Legacy Remote Designs as customized Action Panels. Legacy Remote Designs are finally gone and replaced by significantly better Action Panel customization. V5.5 represents the last major step of the V5 transition – all users should migrate to this release. V5 introduced HomeKit support, and V5.5 improves key parts of the app to make any home device including those from HomeKit easier to use and integrate. It brings much tighter integration of home devices. This release matures the new V5 interface focusing on customization and improvements based on user feedback. The journey to reimagine the user experience of Simple Control is nearly complete.
