IMHO it would be a massive mistake
Don´t understand what is the relation with SDK2.
Don't understand what @swttt app you mean.
Everyone is free to comment of course, but the question was asked to @Bram
I'm also very disappointed to hear that Homey is not accessible soon with a desktop app.
For I bought my Homey I was a user of ICS2000 and was also only accessible on with android or IOS devices. One of the reasons that I changed to Homey was the desktop app. I think it’s still the best way to create Flows.
And also the message I read about the disability from some people I can tell you that a family friend of us is also disabled and the only way to communicate is with a desktop pc because you have more devices to get control, it’s impossible for him to use a tablet or smart phone.
Please explain me the reason for this change that Homey only will be accessible on an android or IOS platform? I think that a lot of users will be happy that the desktop app will stay be available.
But. Doesnt the browser pages do exactly the same as the Desktop app? In my case even better, because the Appstore button does not work for me in the Desktop app, but does work in the browser.
So wouldn't the browser version be sufficient?
It’s really helpful to actually see the current status of your home (like sleeping) and switching between those.
I know that the app is still in beta, but what about super for Android wear (2.0)? And support for widgets? Those are things I have Always missed about the Homey app(s) Is this allready on the roadmap?
Cheers,
Marcel
Really like the solution for the control of the LIFX ligths (wish it would respond a little but faster). Looking forward to the addition of starting LIFX scenes.
Offtopic but answer to your question, zones have been made in the new LIFX app, just take a look at the LIFX topic
I think that our disabled fellows may be the best example for that. They might need bigger screens with user-definable contrast and character-size for their eyes... and how about people that need external hardware to operate their PC, such as people with missing limbs or disturbances in their nervous system? And... it is not entirely coincidental that this group of people could benefit greatly, if not the most from accessable home automation.
That said the new app seems to be almost as functional as the website for my use cases, the only downside that it doesn't look as nice (imo) as the webinterface / old app, but I guess that may change in the future.
