Simply place your device on your HomeKit Hub, choose the accessory you wish to diagnose then watch the signal strength shown on the display.

• Take it on the go with the Apple Watch app
Take the signal strength meter on the go with the included Apple Watch app to find the best location to put that door sensor.

Not what you want

You can stand right next to the device and still have poor signal strength reported. I don’t believe the readings at all. As other have noted it just shows every BLE device you have, which is probably way more then you know. Sorting out the HK devices is difficult, but doable. But again, I don’t trust the meter readings at all!

Garbage

This app is absolute garbage! If I could get my $0.99 I would. Every HomeKit device says unknown except for two, my smoke alarms. It would be helpful if it would tell you the MAC address, Bluetooth address or something to help identify the object and properly label them. Do waste your time or your money on this app.

very excited to have some more tooling available

I love this. it would be helpful to be able to turn on various attribute visibility... mac addr, type of packets, vendorID etc. it would also be helpful to be able to associate BT addresses with devices that are airplay/otherwise-home-related, as opposed to JUST sensors. but regardless... Nicely done!!!

Very useful BUT!

It’s a useful app for those HomeKit tech tweakers, but it would be nice to have the established devices go to another page or stand still and have the other ones use average of max and min so they would keep jumping around. If you have a bunch of devices like I do you’ll see what I’m saying. It’s a challenge for sure.

Good concept (?) useless execution

What use is it when there’s no way to identify nearly any device; nor does it limit it to my devices - and my network is *definitely* secured against anything that isn’t mine connecting. Make this app make sense; be user friendly; have some use… I really do like some of your apps a lot, so clearly you know what your doing. I’m also IT-literate, but the app description & the actual app —> absolutely unrelated. I actually purchased the 4 app bundle (which this app is contained in); of the 4 apps: 2 I find actually innovative, user friendly (ish), and super-useful (as I’ve yet to find anything analogous that’s as well designed - aesthetically and practically - and has cross-device comparability (iPad, iPhone, Apple Watch); the 3rd app in the bundle I’m fairly indifferent to (as, how many “replacements” for Apple’s native Home app are really needed). And I don’t regret purchasing the bundle, as even with only 2 of the apps being to my standards it’s still worth it price wise. So, thank you, for actually following a good-business pricing practice and not doing monthly subscriptions b/c that’s just evil. But please, please: whatever you were attempting to do with *this* particular app —— [“if you don’t have something constructive to say, don’t” which I’m following here] —— but please bring whatever this is supposed to be to your usual good-standards. It promises so much, and delivers only bafflement, confusion, and (inaccurate) doubt in my linguistic comprehension skills… (and that’s a mean thing to do to actual linguists ^_^*) —> description should match the product. Also, it confuses me why some of your apps are amazing and some are … well ___ [not].

Can’t really tell which are mine

This app reports several dozen (currently 49) devices (I’m in a condo complex with many neighbors) and it’s really tough to figure out which are the ones that are A) Mine, and B) Of interest. Every device that uses Bluetooth seems to be reported: There’s probably at least several for each person who lives in my building (phones, headphones, laptops, tablets,smart locks window sensors. ) The list doesn’t seem to be sorted by signal strength so the device you are standing right next to likely won’t be at the top of the list. The signal strength numbers fluctuate so rapidly that it’s tough to get a sense of what is going on. The devices often don’t have any names that describe them. Out of 49 devices, 37 of them say “No Name”. The ones that do show names are my iPad, and HomePods, and Apple TV’s. Sometimes they show an unrecognizable alphanumeric which is probably the serial number of some neighbor’s laptop. This might be more useful in a location where there are not many extraneous signals. But for me it’s just a waste of time.
