i got 3 move units working on my vertical blinds with BT
when will homey be able to controle the move units by BT ?
with other words when will BT be working on homey ?
thx
We are unfortunately a bit delayed to mid Aug. Thank you!
The latest update of 11 july states that there is additional 1-2 months delay.
I have a few few of the Teptron move curtain Bluetooth motors. Someone has already revere engineered the Bluetooth mesh protocol. It is already working on a Raspberry 3 with ble built in. When can Homey do this ble mesh native? At this moment ble is not enabled I guess?

If I do order these and want it to work with Homey, should I order the regular BLE version or the zwave version? Or is it best not to order them at all ?
And is Athom indeed making an app as stated by @Emile already in March 2016....? Or anyone else ?
Thanks in advance for helping me decide what to do
Also: i have read some rumours (perhaps from the Movez people themselves) that they will make Movez homey compatible out of the box.
Also they promised lots of stuff for their phone app but as of date these promises are not realized and can be considered broken. And on top of all this they just don't respond very well on support calls. If they respond at all..
After 4 months the (plastic) chainwheels broke. I sent an email to Teptron about it. Within 24 hours I got a reply telling that they would send me new steel wheels. Five days later I got them, sent from Sweden, for free ofcourse. The Moves are much more reliable now. One remark, and in that point I agree with @jjtbsomhorst, the connection with the androidapp through BLE is far from stable. After a few hours the Moves are loosing connection which only can be solved by switching off and on the BLE at the smartphone.
All together, a smart idea but not (yet) completely engineered for daily reliable use.
Flame me if you want.. but the MOVE is total rubbish and the developers are doing nothing.. I have mine since last year.. Its now in a box for the same reasons stated
For Android user we are going to publish an OTA (over the air) app in Oct/Nov. Through the OTA app you will be able to update the firmware in your units. We will publish a step by step guide once the OTA app is released.
But it would be a nice feature. Is there anyone who has knowledge about the BLE specifics of these devices and is willing to make an app?

So I decided to remove them at all. And ofcourse the total lack of communication. And last but not least I asked them for new cog wheels so I received them by mail with a handwritten letter. In that letter they kindly asked if i would write some positive reviews in return for these new cogs.. I'm sorry but but i'm not an idiot. If a device sucks it sucks and I'm not gonna play good weather man.
