All I can say is this is nuts, one day it works the next day it doesn't. It took me a few minuets to find the forum after they changed the links. I love this system but I sure would not recommend it to anyone who does have time for home security or automation. Just my thoughts.....

I have also tried my other usernames and none of them are working. Can someone confirm that remote acces via IP is working? Can some one also confirm what privilege settings are needed for HS3 on the network settings page. Note: I have been Connecting to HS3 remotely via IP for years; no issues whatsoever.HomeSeer Version: HS3 Pro Edition 3.0.0.368, Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 - Home, Number of Devices: 373, Number of Events: 666, Enabled Plug-Ins

I have a couple of devices where I created an animated GIF for the graphic to specifically highlight a function. HomeSeer mobile is not playing the animation and is only showing frame 1 - hopefully that can be fixed in a future release?
As well as a dark mode (the white glow from the iPad on my kitchen wall is really bright late at night) and more control over the sizing of dashboard items.

Thanks for releasing this, I've stayed away from the beta as I just didn't have time to tinker. Just installed the app today on my iPhone Xs Max. Connected to my local IP as I don't use MyHS. Went to device tab and a bunch of my devices were listed, but I quickly noticed a lot of devices are missing. I do have A LOT of devices, over 100, but woudl still expect it to show them all. Am I doing something wrong? Is there a setting in HS to control which devices show and which do not? I'm using HS build 507 by the way (saw it was available so skipped 500).

I am using the latest version of HomeSeer Mobile in iOS. It's not processing updates properly. For example:
1. Start HomeSeer Mobile from scratch (either after rebooting iPhone or force-terminating HomeSeer Mobile.
2. HomeSeer Mobile shows the correct status for all devices
3. If any devices change status while HomeSeer Mobile is running in the foreground, it processes updates correctly.
4. Bring up another app on the iPhone so HomeSeer Mobile is not running in foreground
5. Change status of devices (i.e. turn on or off lights)
6. Bring up HomeSeer Mobile. It does NOT have the status updates for devices changed in step #5 above.
7. When this happens, the solution is to force terminate HomeSeer Mobile (via swipe up) and bring it back up.
So, the fact that HomeSeer Mobile doesn't update (or refresh its view) when coming up from being in the background makes me not trust its state. Often, I swipe up to terminate it and then bring it back up, so I can be confident I'm looking at the correct states.
Note: I'm using myHS to connect (still waiting for the fix to allow DDNS domain name to be used for login).

Does disable and enable the refresh button not show the effect you want? It does it in my case.

Seems that the HomeSeer Mobile app needs a fix so that if it is brought up from the background to the foreground that it refresh its status automatically. HS3Touch, if brought from background to foreground does show the latest and greatest status. No refresh enabling/disabling needed. HomeSeer Mobile should do the same.

rjh Can you comment on whether native push notifications are planned for the app and if so, on what timeline? I know it's been mentioned in this thread as well as the pre-release feature requests thread and possibly elsewhere, but I've never seen any response from HST.
I've no interest in reopening the conversation about relative merits of using Pushover, YAMA, etc., for notifications, although I know it may be inevitable. Suffice to say that I'm aware of the alternatives for implementing push notifications but am curious whether there are plans to integrate into HS Mobile.
Thanks for any light you can put on this.-Wade

Yes, push notifications will be added, but I don't have a time frame.
