Homey version 1.2 experimental!

Comments

  • Note: as of Homey v1.2.0, a much requested feature was feedback when Homey did not understand what you said.

    Is there a way to disable this? Voice recognition is still as bad as it was before, but over the past couple of days, I have had 8 times when Homey was triggered at random times (for example when watching TV), and responded with the "I'm sorry..." speech. Very irritating when you're in the middle of a TV program!

    @Bumblez
    perhaps its even possaible to make a flow wich put out the micrphone for an our or so..
  • After the update of rc10 again the 433 mhz range is very bad again. My doorbells are about 6 meters away and do not work anymore. With rc9 al worked very well.
     Bug again?

    @Kritjuu That's very strange. For me is my doorbell working for the first time since last year.  I dont think its a bug, else it cant work here. Which doorbell do you have? Do you have a problem with your sender or receiver?

    I have the Action doorbell. It worked flawles on rc9 with te Alecto app. 
    I made a complete restart of the Homey. The bell was back again for a short time.
    But now connection lost again.

    I'm experiencing the same thing.

    For the first time homey was able to turn on and off the lights in the backyard. 100% of the time. It was incredible. 

    Now 0% of the time.

    Not to cross-post, but this seems a bug and it seems related to the latests firmware, as I have never (and other, it seems) experienced this before.

    Double post...

    @Kritjuu yesterday I had the same. The distance between homey and a sender was to great. I had to move the sender next to Homey in stead of 10 meter.
    After a reset, it works again.
    Please, when it happens again. Send a log to athom, and give a command on the following issue:https://github.com/athombv/homey/issues/1457
  • @quakerix

    Indeed, and motivated as well in the cross post. 

    Thanks for your contribution. Extremely helpful and well appreciated. Continue the good work, Sir!

    I'm still not able to get the Hue lights running properly... if I turn three lights of in the Kirchen, only one is reacting. If I tell Alexa to turn the lights of, it is working. Even if I Switch one light in Homey on/off it does nothing... any ideas?

    I've now even that Homey says it but, actually understands since it is performing the correct flows :neutral:

    The WAF is dropping quickly with these kind of "options" you can't turn off. Athom, why not, if you implement something new, directly also add the option to disable it :)
    Having it enabled by default with new firmware is ok (in my opinion) but please, add the option to disable a new feature.
  • in fact for me the rc10 brokes down completely the voice recognition,not a single word he understands

    I'm having serious issues with voice recognition in rc10 as well. One very specific example:

    I have a flow for "turn on the TV". This worked reasonably well (~60% of the time) up until rc9. In rc10, Homey consistenly recognizes "Turn on the" and gives me the new and very irritating "I'm sorry..." speech.
    Strangely, when I manually type in "turn on the TV" on the speech-input page, two things happen:
    1. The text that is repeated on that page, is "turn on the" !!! (so even there, the "TV" part is cut off), and I get the "I'm sorry" speech
    2. Despite this, my flow is activated anyway!

    This gives me the impression that they changed something in the speech (post-)processing in rc10, so that it now actually maims texts and cuts off perfectly valid parts.
  • I'm curious what will happen if you use Television instead of TV.
  • Just installed RC12 and was happy to find out that the KAKU range seems to have improved. I can finally use my "KlikAanKlikUit (KAKU) schakelaar" from inside the bathroom. Previously it only worked in my living room. Yay! Going to use it to control the Sonos in the bathroom.
  • Hi,
    Soundcloud is playing over the internal speaker, not over the jack to an external speaker.
    I cant find the option to activate this.
    Is this alraedy functional?
    THX!
  • I had hoped that Athom had fixed the 434 mhz range, but also in the stable 1.2 firmware the range is very, very bad.
    Doorbell only works a few meters. Very disappointing again.
  • 1.2 isn't stable yet.

    Please show me then, because this still says experimental. ;)

    What doorbell are you using, I'm using a KAKU doorbell which works great! The doorbell isn't that far from Homey though, probably 5 meters with 2 walls in between.

    Also I am using KAKU wall sockets, probably  15 to 20 meters away from Homey (through 2 big walls), without any problem... Are you sure this is a Homey issue?

    I have 2 doorbells from the Action who are supported. Maybe it is a bug in the app.
    What I noticed is that with firmware 1.2.0 RC9 they worked very well to almost 10 meters.


  • That's strange! I started with an Action doorbell too, but it had problems this winter (it stopped working when the temperature was lower than 2 or 3 degrees Celsius...).
    Its a shame that so many people have such different results with 434 mhz devices, I can imagine that this makes development quite hard.

    The 1.3 release party: https://whatsnew.athom.com/
    I would be very happy: https://github.com/athombv/homey/issues/658
  • Really nice update.. However, I was really hoping for an 'or/else' function for the 'trigger/if' part! :(

    Do you guys think that this will also come soon?? 

    Also, some cards can be used only in the if part and not in the and part.. Really stupid in my opinion.
