FIBARO for Android

After a year of my review, there were no fixes made. THE APP IS NOT WORKING. When you are trying to get history for any period and touch any date control, the app miserably fails and gets unloaded. The last update was made 2 years ago. Obviously, FIbar group or whatever it’s called doesn’t feel any responsibility to support the sensor they sell. Remove the app from the store!

I might four FibaroHome buttons to integrate with HomeKit. All of them had batteries that were dead or close to dead. I bought all new batteries and everyone I paired them with the app it crashed on the final step in setting up automation every single time. I really wanted this to work because it would have been cool.

The App itself is working fine, however the Firmware update (1.20) they have pushed out for the the HomeKit Door/Window Sensors has destroyed battery life readings in the Google Home App and in this App as well. Each 3.6V Eve battery was removed from each Door/Window Sensor and tested with a Multimeter. They are all reading 100% but when placing them back in the Door/Window Sensors they will read 65% and the next day ready 85%. Absolutely rediculos, as Firmware 1.10 worked beautifully. They need to fix this. Updated Review: 3/20/19 To answer the Developers question as to “is it better with the version 1.9.2 version?” The answer is a resounding NO! Did you even read my initial review? It’s been well over a year since your team had updated the FIRMWARE of the Door/Window Sensor, and NO the battery life readings are STILL all over the place and never are correct, and your Door/Window sensors completely kill battery life with little to no time at all with Firmware 1.20. Luckily I only use them for Open/Close sensors, and could care less about the temperature readings..temperature readings are accurate at times for the Door/Window Sensors, but after reading other users issues with the built in temperature sensor, this probably needs addressed as well in a Firmware update too. So no, I will not change my rating of the App, because Fibaro needs to address all of its users initial concerns, including this one. Updated Review: 3/22/19 In response to contacting your support team, I have already done that, and spoke to a Fibaro Engineer over a year ago now. That definately didn’t resolve anything as he just thought he was correct and I was wrong and wouldn’t really listen to what I was saying. I have a Fibaro Door/Window Sensor on every door and window in my home and they all respond this way on Firmware 1.20, so no I’m not going to contact support again because logically thinking if the issue is effecting all of my devices, not just one, it’s 100% firmware related. it’s definately not worth the trouble of taking them all down and exchanging. I’ll just wait until you finally discover it’s actually an issue and push a firmware update. Thanks. Updated Review: 4/1/20 Today, The Home App now shows that there is an update(s) to all of my Fibaro HomeKit enabled devices and to download the Fibaro Home App to update. Downloaded the Fibaro Home App, and as it turns out all of my Fibaro devices are up to date with current Firmware according to your App? Are you in the process of pushing our new Firmware to your HomeKit devices? Please advise?

The temperature is always wrong. The only way to see the actual temperature. Is to open the app settings in HomeKit to manually wake the sensor. To update the reading to the current temperature. They claim it updates every 10 minutes, but it will show the wrong temperature all day unless long press the tile in HomeKit.

I have well over 50 devices controlled via HomeKit. I like Fibaro’s products and app, they work seamlessly together. I have the door switch that controls my outside lights. I also have the motion detector outside under my eves that flips on lights and sends a notification when I’m away from the home when it senses movement.
