General Discussion / Re: Free functionality removed?

I could work around the subscription by logging them into my iTunes Store account but I’d rather not.

As a developer, I tend to lean more towards building apps that I want or need and then just giving them back as open source. You seem like you might be an Omni Pro user and probably wanted a replacement for Haiku anyway. I’ve actually been tinkering on a better client for OpenHAB for my personal needs and will likely just give it back to the openHAB community if it’s any good.

You made a nice product and certainly have a right to monetize but given the small community and the need to charge a fair amount, I think the door is wide open for someone to just make a free app that does most of what’s needed and gobble up a lot of the base.

In fact, it might be worth considering building or porting Myro Home to the openHAB API since it probably has a larger potential user base.

Hi! Thanks for the support -- free version provides security only.  The thermostats (Climate) are only available in the paid version.   For the first 14-days of release, I had thermostats and aux sensors in the Status screen so I could test out with a wider group -- particularly because I didn't have any Celsius beta testers.  The "Climate" tab was never in the free version... hope that makes sense.

I'm hoping Apple provides/enabled "family" subscription support this year because you're right, it makes sense for other subscription apps, but maybe not Myro:Home -- I heard of some folks with a workaround -- you can probably google it to see if it works.

Unfortunately, I need a sustainable monetization model to keep development going and subscription seems to be the only way possible.  If you have suggestions, I'd love to hear a better way business/monetization model.

Thanks!

Tried out the app and loved it, so I subscribed on my phone. Not really something you can help, but it really bugs me that Family Sharing doesn't work for subscriptions so my wife and kids (who both used Haiku and then Space) can't share my subscription. I'm sure not paying $5 per month x 4 for this app.

So I grab the Free version for my wife and kids. She's happy b/c all she really wants to is arm and disarm security and adjust the thermostat without my permission .

Fast forward to a few days ago, she doesn't seem to have any climate controls now.

Am I crazy or did the free version originally have climate controls and now it doesn't?

I used the double-tap method on everything except the security zones...where I don't get a "full control screen", just the bypass popup on the right.  Should I be seeing a full control screen for security zones?

Hi Mike, correct, there is no full control screen for security zones.

Hi!  You can also double tap on the name in the full control screen to rename...in addition to the swipe action.

You're correct, swipe-left works for renaming security zones...thanks for the help.

Many of the list items have a swipe-left gesture that reveals a Rename and Favorites * icon. I think the security zones have this as well (along with Bypass).

Can security zones be renamed?  Most everywhere I can click an item to bring up a dialog box where I can double-click the existing name and update, but I can't find a way to do that with zones.
