User Reviews

Users praise Home Remote for centralizing control of many smart devices and ecosystems with a clean UI and easy setup, including exportable settings and broad device compatibility. However, recurring issues include outdated development and compatibility gaps with newer services (Kasa/Tapo, Smart Life), login/authentication problems, unreliable device status and occasional disconnects for TVs, and incomplete ecosystem support (Alexa, Ezlo). Security concerns are also raised. Overall it’s a powerful, value-driven hub for power users, but reliability and ongoing development need attention.

Pros

Centralized control across many ecosystems and devices (SmartThings, Home Assistant, Tuya, Wemo, Kasa, etc.), reducing the need for multiple apps and enabling easy setup across devices (export settings).
Intuitive UI/UX and ease of use; everything in one secure app with strong device support.
Highly customizable with robust home automation options and the ability to export settings for quick replication across devices.
Positive user sentiment and willingness to pay for pro features, indicating perceived value.

Cons

Outdated app and lack of active development, leading to bugs and compatibility issues with newer devices/services.
Smart Life login/authentication issues (invalid credentials/token errors).
Reliability issues with device control/status, including no status refresh and occasional TV disconnects or non-responsive buttons.
Limited/incomplete ecosystem support (Alexa integration issues; Ezlo hub support missing; host resolution errors).
Security concerns noted by users.

Please update the app, it doesn't work with TP-Link Kasa Home (which is now folded into TP-Link Tapo), giving the error "app version is too old". Additionally, no matter what I do, I cannot sign into "Smart Life", I've reset my password with Smart Life and instead of typing it, I've copy/pasted both my username and passwords into each field to avoid any typographical errors and no matter what, it always returns with the same error, "get accesstoken failed, invalid username or password error!"
