My Vera3 is just to rock solid to ditch it directly after receiving Homey.
In the mean time I need to keep 2 domotica systems up and running with all the problems around that.
@Bumblez ;;
I also stopped reading this forum for 2 times the last 2 years..... but the situation didn't got better and in fact it got worse
On this forum its almost impossible to talk about bugs/shortcomings/problems/etc of Homey because if you do, your head is almost instantly smashed by people how say that you are whining, people need to stop reading here and all sort of other "positive" "feedback".
That's totally not helping and forums are definitely there for helping people with problems and not only for spreading the so called "positive" message.
And if you guys want to Bitch; please exchange phonenumbers and meet each other on a local playground and start pull each other heads bald
Better for me to wait and have a rocksolid working product in my home than whining prior to that and have lots of dicussions with the boss (my wife)as well when having an early beta product..
Everyone's entitled to make their own decisions and no need to bash them if they decide differently.
keep up the work @Athom !
Good to see you haven't lost your sense of humour..
I do respect your decision and really hope we will see you again in the future.
I'm never going to lose MY sense of humor
I'll be back, but for now I done and lost the faith in the whole proces.
I really hoped and expected to receive my Homey this week and after the last update i gave myself the weekend to make a decision.
@Athom;
Please stick to your plan, make it a beautiful product, be honest, don't stop communicate, inform people as early as possible and also see the human side of your clients.
@all;
please be kind to each others!
Before you even realized it yourself you are of this planet, money isn't important and be good for our(!) beautiful planet!

Complaining about bugs/shortcomings/etc is also totally not helpful if you're one of the people who doesn't even have his Homey yet... which is the majority of the people complaining.
And yes, I know there's 2 or 3 people here who actually have their Homeys and for whom the majority of the functionality they need doesn't work yet... imho those are the only ones who, at this stage, have a right to complain about those bugs/shortcomings/problems/etc of Homey.
But even in those cases I would say... try to be patient for a few more months, then check and see how far we are and what still isn't working. Complaining doesn't make the bugs go away any faster, and it won't really make you feel better either...
Glad to be of service..
im in!
The thing that outside of EU other Z-wave frequency is being used. So it is not a logistical thing but manufacturing. Since the not even the EU version (Beta, KS, Preorder) has been finished the non-eu is further away.
On everything you say you'll get: "They are doing their best!" or "why are you not helping?"
And mistakes keep repeating.
For god sakes:
They are not some geeks putting randomly stuff together in a backyard, hoping to sell it some times.
They decided to start a business out of an idea and they got a lot of money from other people supporting that idea.
And because of that I think one can expect some professionality (sorry for repeating myself) and that they now what they are doing, or better have a plan how thinks should be handled.
With your state of development and the problems you are facing right now AND the experience you gained during the last years, you should be able to put a reliable timeline out.
And even if you can't (because you are putting your whole energy in fixing, I know guys) YOU NEED PLANING.
NOW there are only a hand full devices out there causing you exorbitant problems.
GET someone consulting you or giving you at least an idea how your business planing should work, if you don't have the time do it yourself.
And I also know that this will cause "smashing" again, but I'm trying to show some deficits others than my homey is not here yet.
It's a business after all and that should be going on further then delivering the kickstarter and pre-orders, I guess.
I'm not saying I don't agree with what you're saying. I'm just saying you can't expect them to listen to whatever people tell them to do in this topic. I remember in the beginning everybody was really friendly and postive on the forum. But when a community grows larger, you will get people with different opinions. You can't avoid that. So I have accepted Athom will do what they think is right and wait.
Kids are training ok, homey now so when it arrives it will be up and running in seconds
@athom perhaps a great thing to start is collection who from the customers that did a pre order would like to receive a not 100% stable one. Then we all have time to overthink and react and you all know what will happen so you can take messures. For the record, i'm ready to receive.
The baby room is ready, all accessories are washed multiple times and we are ready for our delivery free days.
I think the folks on the forum are helpful since the 400pcs have been delivered, everyone try to help the others who have issues. And if an issue surfaces they are constructive.
The others who haven`t received their homey they are not frustrated without reason. But every new batch and firmware update will ease that pain.
any bad or good news ?
