I can confirm that this url (on my install) returns a blank page with the level (0 off, 255 on) and this is how the app is communicating with PowerHome.
http://server:8080/ph-cgi/eval?formula=ph_getinsteonlevel("K ITCHEN")

Okay, that's my problem then. I started a new thread
since it appears my problem is not your app, but rather
it's a problem with my PH installation.

After using/playing with it a few days, I still love it and Kevin, you get nothing but props.
I have a couple of suggestions, too:
It would be great if there were a way to reorder the buttons... right now you are stuck with them in the order you created them, or else you have to recode all the formulas, etc.
I don't know if this is possible, but: in the same way that the on/off button type shows whether the device is on or off using shading, it would be helpful if that were somehow possible for the formula buttons, too. I'm replicating KPL buttons from my home, many of which are linked to macros but which stay on/off based on the button press, and if the buttons in the app could mimic that somehow, it would be cool (but I can see how that might be difficult or impossible to program).
Otherwise, great so far!

The code is actually in there to do this, but I couldn't figure out a logical GUI for it. I will revisit this one though.

I am working on separating the formula into 3 formulas (on, off, and status). This should help replicate the functionality of a KPL.
It shouldn't be to hard to make the formula buttons toggle like the KPL buttons can. I will add that to my list for the next update.

The GUI for moving the buttons could be similar to how you reorder apps on the iPhone itself, no? Just dragging and sliding them around on the 'edit' screen? (Like I know what I'm talking about!! ;)

Just bought the app. It works great. But as a noob, that has not followed this thread at at all, it did take some digging and guess work to get it working.
A bit of help text on how to set up devices (insteon and otherwise) would have shortened my setup time.
I echo the request to be able to move buttons around.
Great app, and thanks for developing it!

Just submitted a v1.1 update to Apple. It has the new
custom button type, the capitalization bug fix, and you can
move a button from its settings view.
I am still working on some bigger changes for v2.0, but I
wanted to get the new features that are finished out.
Also if you have the app and like please take the time to
rate or even write a review in iTunes.

Any idea how long it takes for the update to be posted?
I've checked the App Store for updates to my existing
programs and it still hasn't appeared.
Sheep Launcher, on the other hand, does show an update...

Apple has to approve updates so anywhere from a week to
2 months. It took 3 weeks to get it approved the first time.

iHome does work in the iPad simulator and I do plan on
making a version of the app for iPad. Not sure what all I will
do with the extra realestate but I am planning to buy one
and I will want to control my house from it.

Has anybody tried the update? I got it this aft.
After the update, I lost all my buttons and when I tried to Edit and setup new buttons the application crashes - returns me to Iphone screen.
I tried powering down my iphone and backup but that did not help.
So my iHome is toast - can't use it at all. Any suggestions on how to recover?

Sounds like a problem with the database. When you run the updated app the first time it upgrades the database to add space to store some extra information. It sounds like that update failed and left the database unusable. To recover from this you will need to delete the app and reinstall it.
I will look into the bug. Has anyone else had this problem?

I was able to delete the app and get it back and am now putting buttons back together and I found another issue.
Having the ability to change button locations by changeing its order number is not a good idea. As a test I tried putting a button in a location that already existed. This caused the app to crash. So a warning to all... Only move buttons to empty locations.

I also deleted the app and then reinstalled it. No longer crashes.
Lost all the buttons and settings of course and now trying to set it back up.
Did the handling of the server url change in this version? I can no longer get iHome to connect to the server. I am using an ip address and port.
If I enter "http://192.168.0.2:8000" in the server url I cannot connect via the Test Safari link or via iHome. The address in the safari session is "http://(null):(nul)@http://192.168.0.2:8000" which does not connect.
If I enter "192.168.0.2:8000" the Test in Safari works. The address in the safari session is "http://(null):(nul)@192.168.0.2:8000". This works in safari although looks weird. I remember early iHome version did something similar. So with this address given by iHome I can connect to my PH server correct.
But while this address works in Safari iHome does not connect. Nothing in PH log when attempt to connect from iHome.
Ideas?

The URL in Safari is made up of 3 parts (http://[username]:[password]@[server]). The "(null)" is because the fields were left blank. I have never tested the app without a username and password so that may be the issue. Try setting up a username and password in PowerHome and see if that fixes the problem. Once we figure it out I'll send another update out.
