    I really can't get it to work with Homey. As an alternative I can buy the Harmony Hub, they support the receiver.

    How can you select the "NET" input, to start TuneIn radio?

    On Chrome on my macbook I can't scroll down with the trackpad. If you type "net" within the card, nothing appears

    Try 'Net', it is case sensitive (might come up with a fix for that).

    yep, works as well.. :smile: 

  • BasPostBasPost Member
    Arrow and case sensitive typing does the trick! Thanks!
    scrolling in te card with a macbook trackpad (2 fingers swiping) doesn't work, which I automatically do

    I have tried different remotes and different angles, my Homey recognizes my KPN remote but doesn't send the signal to turn the KPN receiver on. I have no idea what I'm doing wrong.
    Perhaps you are doing nothing wrong, but the distance between Homey and your KPN receiver is too big, see https://forum.athom.com/discussion/1204/infrared-range#latest

    Try it with your Homey next to the receiver, that way I was able to check that IR worked, but only from up close.

    Thanks, I'm going to try that!

    @jorden could you please implement powertoggle as a card option, because when i set my onkyo 626 to standby (with remote) and try to turn it on via homey with the power card option nothing is happening. Homey and my receiver are very close to each other and i've already disable the led ring. ;-(

    This app uses wifi so they don't have to be close together and you don't need to dim the led ring. 

    However, there is no 'powertoggle'  possibility I think.  You can turn it on or off,  I guess your onkyo goes to 'complete off' instead of still listening to wifi commands. Perhaps that is a power saving setting that you can change in 'setup'?

    Haven't had the time to remove them, my wife is paralyzed since 2014 and lives in a nursing home where I have to be to help her and next to a demanding job there is little time for myself and in the time I have I can't be bothered by stickers

    Version 0.8.0 just got published.
    NEW: Discovery will fill in the IP-address and type as name of the device. Ofcourse, it is still possible to change the IP-address (for example, if you have more devices than 1).

    Next version (0.9.0) will enable the ability to set audio listen modes. Probably released/published in a week!

    For the 626 you can enable network standby in the hardware settings and then it works! Hmm, only once for me.

    Version 0.9.0 has been published in the app store a few seconds ago:
    • Set listenmode (NEW)
  • Fire69Fire69 Member
    Would it be possible to integrate some voice commands in the app?  :)
    Set volume to 'xx' for example? 
    I switch my input with the Harmony app, would be great if volume could be done with your app  :#
  • jordenjorden Member
    I could look into that, shouldn't be too hard, although I don't know how well Homey understands spoken numbers. Does it show them as numbers, for example 16, or as words, for example sixteen?

    (Not that that really matters, since I can also just make an array for 1 to 50 or so)

    If I remember correctly from a comment on Slack, the numbers are translated to words for the moment.
    But they're working on changing that.

    Would be a great addition!  Looked at the cards already available, but with the +1/-1 cards, it's a little limited right now.
  • jordenjorden Member
    You can also set a specific volume level, but ofcourse, then you'd have to make your own voice triggers for it.
  • Fire69Fire69 Member
    Or i'd have to make a flow 'increase volume' that increases the volume by for example 5 and consists of:
    when <you said <increase volume>> then 5 cards <increase volume by 1>

    Maybe you can come up with a more practical solution? :smiley:

    @all i've got a question, i rebooted my homey last night and cleared all settings to start fresh (0.8.32) installed the onkyo app, kodi, wol and a couple of other apps. Created some flows and everything worked oke the first couple of times but after a couple of minutes my receiver (626) isn't reacting anymore on the flows. I've already updated to the latest firmware on my onkyo and set network settings to prevent going in standby/sleep. 

    My question is has anyone else used this app with a 626 and seen the same behaviour or keeps it functioning also after a while? (it feels to me (can't check logging) that the app is crashing/losing information after a while it has been running) 
  • jordenjorden Member
    I sometimes experience that the receiver either doesn't respond or responds with different messages than normal. After I completely unplug the receiver and then plug it in again, it works as expected again. 
  • wingiewingie Member
    @jorden thanks for this tip, i've just pulled the plug  :D and restarted homey because suddenly my english sentences aren't recognised anymore so i switched to dutch. (it seems that in the evening speech recognition is getting worse) 
  • bvdbosbvdbos Member
    @Wingie: if every Homey sends 250 sounds an hour (with trained voice) I can imagine servers are having difficulties as compared to 2-4 sounds every hour (or how much do you talk to it) with an untrained voice.

    Sadly enough result is no different after complete turning off the receiver by unplugging en replugin. Is there any way i can see some debug logging so that i can provide this to you? 
  • wingiewingie Member
    After i've removed the app and installed it again it works again (for now don't know for how long)
