Who created this? Is your view in hp way different and not in a good way? It looks like I lost my zone labels and hard to look for a hard pressure. Checks (doesn't complain) to make sure it's not just me.

I think letting HomeKit work with Android phones (at a lesser level at least) would be a great help in adopting and also incentive companies to make products for HomeKit.
