Alpha = few times a week very early small updates
Beta = once 1 or 2 weeks a update with all previously alphas
Stable = once a month all betas
So every user can decide how often he wants to receive updates and what risk he/she wants to take.
Neh, asked for some more communication, you can forget the expectation management.
It seems to be a kickstarter must. As a startup it seems to be Oke to just stop telling your backers what you are doing.
Seriously I want this company and product to succeed, but advice form and commitment with their customers seems to be irrelevant.
Furthermore I find the question a bit weird.
Do other controllers have this functionality? Does your tv or hifi (that cost a lot more than Homey...)?
Maybe they can implement this in the future but for the moment, they have way more urgent things to address.
I understand you (and many ohers) are anctiously awaiting the 'first' update for the new owners and don't want it to be delayed by any new requests and I'm sorry for such a request at this time, though i find it leggit.
To answer your question about my TV and HiFi. Yes, my TV has an unique ID number which can be tracked. My HiFi is from an era that IR-remote control was the bomb, and there was no internet. But pardon me for asking. Your phone, tablet, computer aren't secured? So when stolen anyone can acces, use or sell them?
I'm just asking for somekind of safeguard to be implemented, and if there is a chance to implement it in firmware version 0.8.18 it would be apreciated.
To me, it seems very unrealistic to think they would be able to come up with such a security feature AND implement it right away in the next firmware.
Don't you think so too?
Sure, my phone and other stuff is 'protected' (with a pincode, if they wipe it they can still use/sell it...)
But I was able to set up that protection because the feature was already implemented.
The manufacturer probably didn't program those features in just a couple of days either.
That's why I said they might be able/willing to implement this in the future. If you want security, don't ask for them to do it quickly, ask to do it thoroughly
This question does not belong in this thread. I would post it in an thread in Ideas & suggestions.
We all want some feature because I have this device / problem / worries ....
Track and trace was never mentioned as a feature beside maybe the postal delivery. In the worst case yours is stolen and no one can use it without registering at my.athom.com, I guess they can check it at the MAC address and maybe serial number. So if you call the police they will maybe hand over the registered email adres or IP adres to the police.
I agree with @Fire69 and @Uranday pls dont hijack a thread because I want something badly.
Designing, developing and programming testing etc takes time.
We all wait patient and full of anticipation for the next release where a lot of bugs are smashed and again some new promised features work (and don't forget the new bugs we will discover!).
I guess we will have to do that several times the coming year.
So create a feature request and describe what feature you want, take the credits for this fabulous idea and wait...
And yes, I have a powerbank to feed homey and take it everywhere like my smartphone, tablet and notebook ;-)
O, and Emile told at Tweakers (Video) everything in data is encrypted, so no worries unless your enemy removes (solders) the memory chip from the pcb.
Sorry to come across as an annoyed 'customer/backer' but the fact that I wasted time with speech commands not working, zwave not working, IR not working, flow not working (at least my first attempt with a device to turn on/off at sunrise/sunset??'..
A decent heads up would have been nice, along with a heads up now as to what's happening with .18 and beyond!
I'm not asking for an overnight fix, I'm asking for better communication as to what's going on. Thanks!
Hope it speech hey homey detect ges better to.
Was watching Flikken Rotterdam and the orange ring and white search ring showed up at least 20 times during that hour. It usualy also response when my sons is talking and not saying snyting close to hey homey.

Is there already a release date picked for beta .18?
Hopefully there are now some improvement for me too since version 0.8.5.
Please report any bugs you found here: https://github.com/athombv/homey/issues
