Your lable says member. Acces is only with the geek edition.
Did you buy the geek edition?
Okay
why do I have to pay to get homey to work?
and what does it cost me?
What is the geek edition?
I would like my homey development kit goes to work for me
Out of the box Homey does support some devices. Those devices can be uses and controlled by Homey. In the flow editor you can program Homey, like (If sunvalue = high then close curtains). Also there are apps available for several devices and functionalities.
Only if you want to create your own apps or get other devices to work with Homey, as those who are already created, it is useful to get the geek edition. This is the package more for de programmers around us. These programmers can create their own apps and post them in the "HomeyStore" so that everyone can use their apps.
In a weird way, the programmers pay some extra money to help other users :P
Okay. This I want to how do I need to sign in and pay
I thought that eventually we all can develop.
Only Geek editions get the SDK earlier?
Moreover, I find it weird but it may just be me. I too have been december 2014 a homey purchased. There was then only you'll be asked or possibly a 433 mhz communication module or something with ass. but nothing at all about the need to install any apps you have to possibly you homey with my arduino to talk. now I'd like to talk with my homey arduino that I know nothing of developing applications. but want to make use of here as in the introductory movie was/is. so I want to go now playing around how I want to let talk possibly virtual what do I do now?

It took me 5 min. to translate your last post (ok, my English is also not so good )
First; The Virtual Homey is only accessible by Backers that backed the >=Geek edition
Second; When (?) Homey is released, everyone can develop apps/drives and other things
Third; Arduino may work with the Virtual homey, but i would wait until your homey arrived and play with it when its on your living room table.
Fourth; you can contact Stefan to upgrade your Homey purchase to >=Geek edition (https://forum.athom.com/discussion/22/upgrade-to-geek-edition#latest)
