Nature Home

I use this app on iPhone and iPad to control our AC and some cheap string lights. Because of the way Apple Home works, only on/off is possible. For every other button/setting, integration with Apple Shortcuts is possible, and in turn Siri commands. What I’d like to see is the possibility to use this app on macOS, so I can run shortcuts from there. The shortcuts depend on the app being locally installed.

It’s the first Nature Remo device to support HomeKit via Matter. The app recognized my Samsung TV remote when I pressed the power button on it during setup. Then I added it to HomeKit but it only recognized as a power switch. Which is fine for now because all I really need is the ability to turn on/off an outdoor, TV that has a broken physical power button, without going inside to grab the remote. The Nano is currently not sold in the US. Had to order it off Amazon Japan. I’m going to keep playing with it to see if I can get it to add to HomeKit as a TV and not just a power switch. It might require an update from Nature though.

This all worked seamlessly for the most part. Areas of improvement are automation prioritization and being able to move icons and such. My only complaint is I want it to turn on the dehumidifier if humidity is above a certain percent and cooling if the temperature is above a certain temp but with only one trigger and no prioritization I don’t know which will take effect when both triggers are met.
