Learn commands via wifi possible??

is it possible to learn Homey commands that are sent via wifi? See this posting of mine to read why I ask: https://forum.athom.com/discussion/280/siemens-bosch-home-connect-in-europe-available#latest

It's becoming possible to control kitchen appliances via wifi, so....after seeing the video where Homey is pre-hearing the oven, I'd like to know how to learn Homey such commands. Can Homey capture the commands when I send them via an APP from my Iphone to the oven?

    Unfortunately, no, this is not possible. You really need an app made by a developer to add support for Wi-Fi devices.

    Then how do you account for your video where an oven is controlled by homey?

  • EmileEmile Administrator, Athom

    It is still possible to connect to an oven, but the app has to be handmade.

  • TallguyTallguy Member

    With 'app' you mean an app that's already in the AppleStore? Because as far as I understand it, Siemens has an app to control the oven.
    Or is it an App that has to run on Homey?

    Just trying to get this a bit more clear :)

  • EmileEmile Administrator, Athom

    Homey has an 'App Store' as well. An app for Homey adds support for a device, and runs on Homey itself. :)

    Ok. So if there's someone out there with the skills to create an app for Homey to these appliances, it would be possible.

    Not only the skills to write an app would be required; also an API or reverse engineering would have to be done.
