Fibaro APP design


Viljam

Question

Hi,

 

does any one knows when Fibaro re-design their very UGLY app ? Its like 5-6 years they use same layout and design which from product and UX design is very poor compared with whats out today from other companies. Personally i like the system but the UX and design is soo bad that i dont want to put such app on the wall at home :D  

 

Thanks

V

Still not available in Apple store. The GUI is quite nice, let's hope is fully working.

Where do you see this beta/option to try? I don’t see that option on Google Play Store detail page. Could that be region-based?(I live in NL, you live in Slovakia?)

It looks like a new app and not an update.

I'm in the beta testing program, I think a few months ago I asked Fibaro to include me in it in some occasion.

OK, so far it seems to be huge step back for more complex installations. No heating settings, no camera support yet and the way how to navigate to specific device is little bit  more complicated than before.

I can connect with my Fibaro ID, but the controller is not configured. I think I have to update to the newest firmware?

I saw it too. I think this is the very first version that they'll complete until all functions are transferred from old app. New design is a huge improvement though, can't wait for desktop client to have this layout too. Design/layout was only major issue of Fibaro for me, glad that they're working on it.

OK, you got it working, can you please disclose how?, we "others" are stuck on the not-configured page.
Are you running the Beta?
OK got it, RTFM!, the manual WAS for the new app :-)

No nothing special, I just had to update my Home Center 2 to version 4.530, which was a regular update.

No widgets for iOS + WatchOS either. I assume it will take a few months before we get all functionality that old app has. For me the absence of Virtual Device functions is the reason for not using this new app yet, I'll start using it as soon as Virtual Device support is ready.

I prefer functionality before design and Im not sure whether this new layout will provide same comfort as the old one. Too much scrolling is needed, missing overview page where you can see consumption and status of all rooms etc...

downloaded the app.. was happy at first but all my custom icons are not showing. I just see names and a bunch of questionmarks. The old app shows all the icons i created (128x128 PNG's) Anyone else with this problem?
