It could be good on an iPad mini... But there are of course less expensive apps that are a lot more customisable and have two way capability for iPad / iPhone
Exact. URC app seems to be very expensive for what is does.
AppStore is already literally flooded with cheaper home automation apps and
some of them have respectable database of supported equipment.
Moreover, it seems to require internet connection from MRX-1 for normal operation and does not support MSC-400/MRF-350 control, which defeats its purpose (that's because MRX-1 RF output was designed for lighting only).
That said, if you want to "control" something from Ipad it is currently better to use some other app via Global Cache or iTach controller and you will get even 2-way.
The situation may change though if URC makes updated MRX-1 which allows to control other "legacy" base stations. I think URC simply MUST do it - this will also have additional advantage of being able to control all CCP equipment from new Total Control line and have the best of 2 worlds!
