Not helpful. Apple Home/HomeKit is a hot mess and everyone knows it, but… Save your money, this app only logs some actions if the app is open, and not in the background. Pretty useless if the iPhone is all you’re using. Time better spent would be to put more pressure on Apple to make sure “it just works”, because it doesn’t sometimes.

Allowed me to reset my homekit network. This just allowed me to reset my homekit network (devices were saying no response). I’m not sure what called this to happen but if I can fix once in a full moon outage by opening this app, I’ll take it! Thank you!

Does what it says on the tin. I always found it frustrating that I didn't have any easy way to the various HomeKit events as they occurred throughout the day. This solves that problem in an easy and unubtrusive way. I just leave the helper app running on my Mac (which runs 24/7), and a complete log is stored away for when I need it. Bonus points to the developer for making this a "universal" purchase that also gets you the iOS version (though the Mac is a better fit since the app needs to be actively running to work). All in all, it's a handy tool to my HomeKit setup.

Does not log events on M1 mac. It does not log `Programmable switch` or `outlot` events on my M1 Mac Studio. Only scene events are logged.

Log doesn't capture many actions; fills quickly on large setup. I have a fairly sizable HomeKit setup, with many accessories, hubs, and scenes. Even when running on a Mac on the same network, only about half of the changes seem to appear in the log. Worse, after a day or so, the app starts to freeze on opening, and the developer indicates that it is likely because the log file is 'full.' The developer is planning a fix for this condition, but so far, it is basically unusable for me. It's a shame, really. It's a great design, and I love the menubar option, sorting categories, etc. I love the other 'Home' apps in the Pearce Media family, but given its inability to log consistently, this one isn't worth the price for me. I am hopeful for improvements in the future.

Extremely Helpful. HomeKit can sometimes be a black box. You have absolutely no idea why it’s doing what it’s doing. Things change state for seemingly no reason. Devices show no response. Figuring out what is actually going on is incredibly difficult in those instances. Luckily this app makes that process SO much easier. Having visibility into changes overtime to your HomeKit setup is incredibly useful. Did I mention the developer is also incredibly responsive and looks to be planning new features all the time?

Doesnt log anything meaningful. Forget figuring out any gremlins. All this does show you an event with the time/date. No indicator of what user or device triggered the event so no way to figure out anything more than the notification bubble you get on the phone for free.

Useless because you need the app to open all the time on screen to get log. To run this app to work, you need to keep this app open on screen. If you leave from this app and leave it on background, it won’t work. You won’t get any log. How can you keep open the app on screen all the time to get your home log? This app should not sell anyone like this and steal your money. Yes, there is writing in description. You will over look it because you will think that you can leave it running in background. No, you need to keep on screen all the time. You can not use your phone anymore to get log. This app should not be here at all. Can’t understand why they still even sell this when it shouldn’t be here at all. If it only work on mac, please sell it to mac os only.

Simply does not work. Contacted support; was advised to reinstall. Still does not work on iPhone 12 with latest OS.

High hopes - dashed. I had high hopes for this app but have been increasingly disappointed. The app simply does not log events that are triggered by automations, Siri access and other standard methods of changing the state of HomeKit devices. I have tested it under multiple scenarios, with my computer awake, not in any focus mode and HomeLog open and running. It just doesn't log what it is supposed to log. I'm giving it more than one star because the UI is nicely built. But the functionality is lacking. Disappointing.

Does what it says. It's a little thin around the edges (filtering could be much imprived) and occasionally it seems load up multiple instances of itself, but when it comes to simple diagnosing of homekit issues, it works, and that's enough.

Nice looking app, does what it claims. This app will run and log all the HomeKit events that happen on your network. The logger needs to be running for this to work. It would be nice if the app could show which device issues a command.

Works well.. Logs what’s going on in my HomeKit setup. Great to be able to run on my phone and see what’s happening in HomeKit when devices/automations/scenes are triggered. You do have to have it open to keep the log going but the price includes a Mac app so I run it on that if I need to run it for a longer period.

App doesn't work - PERIOD. Installed app, allowed permission, yet all tabs are empty. App has no guide or support FAQ. Pretty much a joke fora paid app that does nothing except show empty tables

Useless without subscriptions. Don’t bother. I never mind paying for an app - but this is misleading. You get very little without adding on additional costs for the “Pro” version. When you mislead me you won’t get another penny.
