Security App Widget broken on iOS 18 - Update planned?

[KeltieD]

The widget for arming and disarming the security system and opening the garage door stopped working after updating to iOS 18. This feature was very convenient for quick actions on my iPhone.

Questions:

1. Are other users experiencing this issue?
2. Is this a known problem with iOS 18?
3. Is an app update planned to restore widget functionality?
4. If an update is coming, what's the expected timeline?

Any information or workarounds would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

I updated to ios 18 and don't have any issues using the app. Have you uninstalled and reinstalled the app?

I sure have. I have no problems with the SmartHome app itself.   My issue is that I am no longer able to add a widget to my home screen that allows me to arm, disarm, lock, unlock etc. from my phone.  Prior to the upgrade to ios18, I had the widget on my home screen.

Experiencing same issue - no widget in iOS 18. The widget is super handy as navigating the app requires more taps.

I hope they take the opportunity of a rebuild to expand the functionality to include the ability to pause cameras from the widget. This  is another common function that is still too onerous via the app.
