One fix, and it matters if you have painted a lot of devices. - Homes with about twenty or more painted devices could crash the watch app on almost any action. The learned model had outgrown the space watchOS allows an app's settings, and the system stopped the app rather than let the write finish. The model now lives in regular files with no such limit, and your existing paint moves over on first launch. Thanks to Nick for the crash logs that pinned it. - If the app ever does go down, the next launch notes what it was doing, and that note rides along in a support export.
Three fixes that came straight from your support messages. Thanks for writing in. - Apple Home devices that were never assigned to a room now show up on the watch, under the home's default room. Before, they were filed under a room no list showed, and a full home could read as an empty paint list. - Fans and TVs in Apple Home take their on/off command in a different format than lights. Maestro now speaks it, alone or inside a Home-app group. If every snap at a ceiling fan failed, this is the one. - Home Assistant addresses that iOS refuses (plain http to a named host) now get the same clear explanation everywhere, not just at sign-in. - Demo mode grew to three rooms, with blinds, a fan and a scene to play with.
Launch week keeps teaching. Mostly fixes, two favors for scene users, and a proper front door for help. - Support moved into the app: describe the problem, attach a model export with one tap, and send. No more exporting, AirDropping, and filling a web form to reach us. - Restoring your trained model to a new watch (or after a reinstall) now works properly on Apple Home: devices are re-matched by name, so your paint survives the move. - You can import a saved backup file on the phone, and a stale or empty backup can never overwrite a good one. - Scenes now toggle like the Home app: snap an active scene again and it turns off. If Maestro can't tell whether it's active, it just runs it, same as before. - Home Assistant automations can now be painted and snapped. A snap triggers the automation - it never disables it. - New scenes and devices you add in the Home app now show up on your watch right away, no relaunch needed. - The orange "often contested" note on your phone is now a button: one tap starts fresh paint from wherever you're standing. - Blinds that refuse a snap while still moving from the last one now say so, instead of showing a generic error. - A snap that times out now says "may still land" - because it sometimes does, and a retry could undo it. - Disconnecting your backend now asks first, since it erases your painted devices. One stray tap should never cost you your paint. - Home Assistant URLs that iOS refuses to connect to (plain-http hosts) now get a clear explanation instead of a dead end. - The first-snap confetti got real physics. You only see it once, so we made it count.
You asked in the launch thread. This update is the answer. - Blinds, shades, and curtains can now be painted and snapped, on both Apple Home and Home Assistant. Garage doors and gates work too, with a safety step: the snap arms them, a tap on the watch confirms. - The free tier now includes Home Assistant: one device in one room, same as Apple Home. The full magic, small stage. - Smarter room detection: your phone and headphones no longer count as room evidence (they move with you), floor detection learns only from moments you confirm, and the whole thing recovers faster when it guesses wrong. - The "or ...?" suggestion can now name a device in another room, and when it is clearly what you are pointing at, Maestro just switches to it. Point, hold for a beat, snap. - The watch pages are reordered: rooms now sit right under the snap screen. - Painted devices can be removed by holding them, and the app now says so. - Fixed: denying HomeKit access no longer pretends to connect. - Fixed: watches without a compass (Series 4) now get an honest explanation instead of a blank stare. Also riding along, the 1.3.1 fixes: snaps moments after the screen goes dark now land, and a refused snap buzzes twice so it never feels like a confirmation.
Snaps that land, and refusals you can tell apart. - Fixed: on some watches, a snap moments after the screen went dark was refused as if you had closed the app. Pointing and snapping now keeps working for a few seconds of screen sleep on every watch. - When Maestro does refuse a snap, the buzz is now two quick thuds, so it never feels like a confirmation. The watch also tells you what happened and what to do: raise your wrist, then snap. - Model exports now record the app version that wrote them, which makes support conversations faster. - Small fixes under the hood.
Pause Maestro without touching the screen, and a fresh first-run. - New in Shortcuts: "Toggle scanning" pauses or resumes Maestro with Siri, a Shortcut, or an accessibility hand gesture like the double clench. Your wrist confirms with a three-tone chord. - Tip: when building the shortcut on iPhone, pick the WATCH app's Toggle scanning action so it runs instantly on your wrist. - New guided setup: connect, paint your first device, snap it, and Maestro celebrates with you. Install to first snap in about two minutes. - A simpler iPhone layout: actions up front, details on their own pages. Your watch, Tips and tricks, and About each have a home now. - Fresh model exports from the couch: the iPhone's "Your watch" page can ask the watch for one directly. - Small fixes, including smoother permissions and a faster pause.
Paint from your iPhone: tap a device there, then point at it on your wrist. Two-floor homes: your watch learns your home's elevations, so the upstairs lamp stops stealing snaps from the one below it. Home Assistant: put a "maestro" label on an entity, a device or a whole area and Maestro shows only what you labeled. Scenes now arrive in their area. Apple Home: accessories you grouped in the Home app now answer as one. A new look on the wrist, plus color schemes, snap effects and a pick-your-own app icon for Unlimited. Webhooks, so anything with a URL can answer a snap. Plus a long list of small repairs, most of them found by testers writing in. Thank you. Keep it coming.
