Detailed Review

SmartLife - Smart Living by Volcano Technology Limited serves as a centralized management platform for smart home ecosystems, positioning itself as a versatile solution for consumers seeking to unify control of various IoT devices. The application distinguishes itself through HealthKit integration, allowing biometric data from compatible scales to automatically sync with Apple's health ecosystem, providing users with comprehensive health tracking alongside home automation capabilities. The application's core functionality spans device control, automation creation, and cross-platform integration. Users can manage smart lights, plugs, security cameras, and robotic vacuums through a unified interface, with particular strength in scheduling and scene creation. The HealthKit integration represents a notable advancement, automatically populating Apple Health with body measurements including BMI, weight, and fat percentage when using compatible smart scales. This dual-purpose approach bridges home automation with personal wellness tracking in ways few competitors offer. User experience demonstrates both sophistication and occasional complexity. The interface organizes devices by room and type, with quick-access controls and automation templates. Real-world usage patterns show heavy reliance on scheduling features for lighting and appliance control, while advanced users leverage the shortcut integration for WatchOS operations. The watch app functionality, as noted by users, provides tangible convenience for controlling devices without accessing the primary iPhone interface. User feedback trends indicate generally high satisfaction with specific feature requests. Reviewer Meow4B (2025-08-27) praised the watch app implementation, while gnologic (2025-08-22) successfully created iOS shortcuts for third-party garage door control. Several users, including Mr. Double Stuff (2025-08-22) and Camaro 45th (2025-08-06), reported intermittent connectivity issues with devices showing incorrect status, though recent updates appear to have improved reliability. The most consistent feature request involves enhanced mapping functionality for robotic vacuums, as tortucas (2025-08-17) suggested adding barrier walls and room-specific cleaning modes. The application demonstrates notable strengths in device compatibility and health integration but faces challenges with connectivity consistency. Its cross-platform functionality, particularly with Apple Watch and HealthKit, provides genuine utility for health-conscious smart home users. However, the occasional device status inaccuracies and limited mapping features for robotic vacuums represent areas for improvement. Ideal use cases involve households with multiple smart devices seeking centralized control with health tracking capabilities, particularly for users invested in the Apple ecosystem.

Took some experimenting, but I was able to create an iOS shortcut on my watch to open a 3rd party garage door opener. Nice! Working well Took some experimenting, but I was able to create an iOS shortcut on my watch to open a 3rd party garage door opener. Nice!

Would love to see a map layout of the home on the app. Helpful to also have barrier walls to add to the map for vacuuming. Or rooms I only need mopping instead of both Robot Vacuum Would love to see a map layout of the home on the app. Helpful to also have barrier walls to add to the map for vacuuming.

The app work so far as intended. I have connected the Kiroto Smart Shutter Exhaust Fan and it worked just fine. Unfortunately it advertising as an app purchase?! Actually mention it have some free limited use part of it. There for I was not sure if it work for my intended use. The fan manufacturer confirmed it is free for at list for they fan operation. So far I’m able to use the app to do all the available command for the fan. This review reflect my short testing. There for based on my initial testing I can recommend it at list for the Kiroto fan to operate with this app in the full extent. Thank you. The app work as intended but ..

I have been using this app for many years. For the most part, I have been pleased. The only issue I encountered was my devices, like smart plugs, and smart lightbulbs, would occasionally show offline in the app. This constant, but intermittent defect was annoying. I am happy to say for the last 2 to 3 months I have not encountered this issue. Thank you for fixing the app to mitigate these off-line antics.
