@superice I've created a second user in Homey for my wife. She can log in on the my.athom website but in the app she keeps getting invalid credentials

No issues here! Works great @superice ;

Edit Whoops. Issue: I get confirmation cards but no options on my huawei honor 6 with recent android.

If I'm right superice said the device loading issue should be fixed with .35 and app crashes not.

My homey is updating to .35 so I can  test within a few minutes if crashes are gone with . 35

Also with .35 app crashes and send a few crash reports. 

Notifications still not working with .35 and 2.1-45

I have no clue what is wrong with your devices... I have tested this extensively, and just can't reproduce it. Anyway, I'll look into the crash reports begin next week and I'll try to improve stuff for you. Very odd.

.35 and latest android build, samsung s7 edge, no notifications and app crashing also

Samsung S4, notifications works, morse code works

The notifications works here only on my wife´s phone. If I select a mobile device in the card, there is text by the owner `android device` by my wife´s phone there stands the type of her phone. We have the same phones with the same android version. Has anybody else seen this problem?

Yes, remove app settings of the Homey app and login again. My name is twice in the list but I can send push notifications again, jeej

Here a similar problem;
My phone is noted as "android device", my wifes phone is noted as "Just me  " and only my wifes phone receives notifications......

Looks like a reproducible thingie.

Ditto. Crash on first attempt to start then it loads but no notifications on my N5X with 6.0.1

I removed all my z-wave devices from Homey.
Finally the app started showing my other devices... Unfortunately, it's pretty useless to me this way.

@Fire69 ;
Did you have any Z-Wave Wall Plug(s) as a device?
If so leave these ones out, they give a lot of trouble (atleast for me) at the moment.

I would start adding devices and see what happens. I have one zwave-sensor and that's showing up... Perhaps it's a specific device? Or a max number of devices?

MathijsFrencken

I have one light controllable via the (Homey) android app on s6 edge, works fine, thanks Athom!

Is it possible to make the app compatible for tablet

i have a tablet on the first floor now in use for the fibaro but i want to use it for homey so i can use the always listen function and control the lights upstairs

caseda

The app is compatible for tablets?
The cards do get a little bit big though, but it works.

Nope, just Fibaro motion sensors and relays.

Lost hours yesterday trying to remove those devices in a clean way and adding them back to my other controller...
I'm fed up with Homey for now, don't have the courage to put any more hours in it.
I'm unplugging it and we'll see in a couple of weeks/months...

Any news?  

O and please help the others to, reading the post I'm not the only one with troubles......

[edit]
So, just send another ~10 crash reports.

@superice  is this a known problem? She has te latest update and cannot login into the app. It all works for my.athom.com

Tim_Brass

Will the app be compatible with the Android TV? Would be nice to operate homey from my TV!

Same here with latest versions on homey/app using s7 edge.

MathijsFrencken

S6 edge is having some stability issues with the Homey app aswell. Crashed 7 times this week. But it could be due to some energy-saving setting preventing Homey from doing something.

Is Geofencing already working? This evening I tried with both household Android phone to set a fake GPS location at 5 km from the house and none of the presence flows reacted.

[edit]
After more playing around and multiple app crashes on both Android phones I throw the towel.....
Also very strange(and a bit annoying) that the last almost 10 days there were no news and/or release of the Android app or better said a reaction of @Athom on the crash matter.

That is because we're busy actually implementing stuff and trying to improve the situation

To answer your questions regarding home detection:
No, geofencing is not implemented yet in the 2.1 version. However, the implementation is almost done, and it'll work a lot better than on the 1.x app versions, because it'll work based on wifi primarily, with a fallback to location if the wifi drops.

Those app crashes are caused by the audio driver of Android not cleaning up resources properly. It sucks balls, and I wish I could solve it easily, but it has proven to be a very hard problem to solve. Because this is a very low-level crash, I can't really catch the error in the app and continue. I'll look into it some further as soon as home detection has shipped, but I don't want to get your hopes up too much.

MarcoF

Thanx for your post/information! 

Hope we can use/test geofencing in the near future! It can/wil make much more nice stuff work/possible with Homey.

App crashes:
Worst case scenario; We have to live with several app crashes a day or .... ?
[edit]The current situation, for a lot of users, also sucks balls. In our household we have 2 relatively new/up2date Android phones (S5mini, Nexus5) and both are crashing very often....

maybe the voice feature can be disabled for now?

Great suggestion and most ideal would be the user can decide to use Voice (and accept crashes) or not use it.

Fire69

There's the tap-to-talk function. 
Can't you enable the audio when the screen was tapped and disable it once the app starts processing the speech?
