MobiLinc X for Android

As a long time ISY user, I’m like most and have explored many tools to control the environment. I used the previous MobiLinc apps and they served the purpose but this new update has not only simplified the user interface but expanded the options and access to things that used to require access to the Admin Console directly. It’s a fantastic update well worth the subscription for any of us who have spent hours making the ISY automate our homes.

I have both MobiLinc hd and this app. The gain in the move to this app isn’t that great. I bought all the ad ons for this app and it’s ok. I really don’t think I gained anything from HD other than interface colors. My biggest complaint is speed with this app. I’m talking about on my home network. HD is instantaneous where this app is slow to refresh the status and slower to react than HD. I even bought a subscription because I was told that saving statuses on their server would speed things up. Nope. It is rare that I use this app away from home. It works with port forwarding just like HD does but even in this scenario HD is faster. I have a mesh network at my house that puts most to shame so that is not an issue. My impetus to write this review was just using the app 10 feet from a network node and I switched to HD after tiring waiting for the little dots to refresh the status of a switch.

Long time user of other MobiLinc apps (Orchestrated MobiLinc and MobiLinc HD) for control of my ISY 994i controller. The cloud performance of MobiLinc X is excellent compared to anything I’ve tried including direct connections. The support is quite amazing and was able to assist in some advanced Alexa configurations. The developer is also adding new functionality making the app even better!

Been using mobiLinc for quite a while. Has been a very stable dependable platform. Mostly control lights and AC with scenes, but the recently used tab and favorites make it easy to get to the devices I use most. It works great with alexa so I hardly open the app. Any time I have ever had a problem Wes gets back to me almost immediately. X is a very polished update over pro

I’ve been using MobiLinc HD with only zwave devices and ISY994 for about two years and although it’s quite dated I like the flexibility in the app. In this app I can see and control every device, program on my zwave network regardless of the manufacturer of the device. I had big hopes for the “X” version to give a new user experience and for a few limited devices it sure did. For example thermostat function is great and dimmers control, love that. The negative part is that I cannot find a way to see my door sensors. My garage door control also shows up as a door lock and no way to edit this or change icon. I like to shop around for specific zwave devices and ISY994 does a great job of integrating those but this app doesn’t..unless I miss something!? In the HD app I have set notifications when doors open and close but since this “X” app will not even display any of my door sensors I have no clue how to set status change notifications. I could go on but as I see it it’s not worth the cost yet for this app service as I see it’s far from ready to integrate fully with ISY994 regardless of tier level. Happy that I was refunded the cost for the app. Will stick to what I have for now and monitor the development of this one. Great start anyway in integrating with so many other platforms but now the UI needs some TLC. Thanks!
