Depends on the devices you wish to control via hubiVue - if you wanted to send a command (as shown in the Hubitat device page) then you can copy the command name (example below could use the setVolume command to set the volume on your HE controlled media amp).
Why hubiVue? No CSS to learn for one thing. Handles variable connectors responsively/live (not just display only). Offers custom commands and not just tap but double-tap and tap-hold (3 actions per tile). Super easy live edits of dashboard on phone as well as desktop. No having to assign devices on a per-dash basis. Tiles can have Aliases. Guests are supported. Multiple pages of dashboards / rooms. Proper native modals. Beautiful styling. Plus heaps more?
I've used actiontiles on ST, and recently started playing with it on hubitat. I really don't like it. To many quirks, and steps. Just felt very chunky. Hubivue I find much more dynamic, easier and intuitive to work with, not to mention aesthetically far superior! @gslender is very active and engaging, both in this community as well as the hubivue community. I have seen him take input, listen to what people are looking for and work with then to implement requests, or explain the logic and why something can't or won't be done.
Hubivue? Yes. It auto switches between local and cloud.
Yes I'm not a big fan of actiontiles either and also started on ST. Finally made the jump to HE, once I found out actiontiles had an open Beta (maybe never get's beyond beta...), so I could minimize screeching from wife and kids by keeping them on the same interface that I exposed subset of devices for them on ST.
Not ready to pay $27/year for what I would likely need depending on dashboard and guest limits for free version. I'd probably be willing to pay one time like I did for A/T.
Thanks. That was my main concern before I invested more time in setting it up, after I saw something on purchase tab implying limits on dashboards/tiles/guests.
Being able to use HubiVue on Android, all Apple devices including Macs, and Windows makes it worth the price to me. I would also rather do the one time fee rather than subscription.
Pricing with details on the difference from Free vs Subscribers has been updated on the website, and whilst it won't please everyone, it is what is needed to keep the Free offering free.
Hosting and AppStore costs unfortunately have a real expenses to be recovered. I trust everyone will understand how reasonable this is compared to what a cup of coffee or beer a standard Ikea Smart Bulb costs.
