Please post any feedback related to Android App 7.63 here.

A feature missing from the app is a passcode to open the app.
If someone steals or finds your phone, then they have access to your home network.
Then they can make all kinds of changes and create a mess.
I dont want someone to find my phone and then have fun turning my lights on and off.

Please add an option to have a highly secure passcode to open the app.

Thanks.

@ Twomoon,

I will forward the feedback to our respective team and meanwhile, believe there are some third party apps which allow you to set a passcode for the apps.

Oh, I just updated Android 7.63 today, it's pretty good

@Twomoon: Rather than a 3rd party app, a pin lock, pattern, or other method for your phone entirely would probably be a better fit. The Almond app may allows them to change your network and lights/etc but only until you reset the router (worst case). If you had your email or other accounts on phone, you could be in much worse shape in general.

I just noticed the Android widgets in 7.63.

Great news as it makes Securifi dropping IFTT support less painful. I now use the widgets to change scenes without having to open the Almond app.  Cool, but...

The widgets only work when the Almond app is in "Cloud" connection mode. If it is is "Local" connection mode (and I have no Internet connection), I get an "Almond Offline" error.

The current behavior seems wrong. It would be more intuitive, more useful, and feel less broke if the widgets followed the actual connection mode.
