Is the mobile app required? If I'm already at home, why would I want to try to awkwardly navigate some 3D space with gestures on a tiny phone screen instead of using my desktop computer?
Required app installs make the world less accessible for us non-smartphone owners. At the very least, I'd want a IoT device to be optionally controllable via some kind of network API. That way I can unify its scheduling, programming, or whatever with the rest of my network computing resources, instead of having each device require a specific UI (or worse, its own app).
Yes. The Mobile app allows you to see the 3D Map. You can install the mobile app on the new Macs directly too now so can do it on a desktop or iPad as well.
We added voice commands and gestures also so it's easier to tell it what to do when at home.
