It avoids the built-in keywords and still does what he want; turn lights off!
I think a lot of people think;
Lets make a test flow, hmmmm what can i easily do???
I see Light!!
Oh yeah lets make a lights on/off flow!!
Few simple clicker the clicks with the awesome easy Flow Manager and the flow is done AND all light commands are broke
Same for Radio/TV on/off etc.
So my idea is that the possibility to make this flows create a big negative side effect; breaking homey's voice/flows.
(OK its not breaking voice, but if somebody says; "OK Homey, turn light off" and nothing happens, then a lot of people will think; Making the flow was that easy, that can't be wrong, so voice is not recognizing me and is broke....)

but also about 50% of my voice commands work and some are not. and I have to say them more than once..
Its quite random, so i'm looking foreward to the next update
Would it be possible to (individually) disable certain build-in voice commands? For example, as far as I know, everything I say with 'music' or 'play' in it (or something along those lines), homey tries to start something in it's build-in media app. I have no music in there, as I do all my music via Kodi. Because these triggers are build in, I cannot use them for triggers at Kodi (and, honestly, it's annoying to hear homey say 'There are no media apps installed').
Individual disabling of build-in voice commands would, in my eyes, fix this and similar cases.
A reboot / restart helps getting things better but still, it is bad at the moment. Hoping for better results in the future.
In a completely silent room, I move a chair and Homey starts listening!
No response to the TV, no response to OK, Henkie and no response to loud talking of the kids or of us.
The only thing it responds to is OK, homo. But that's not that far off the actual name
When I'm watching a movie it starts listening all the time!
Interesting thing is that a friend of me @carelpeer has almost no false positives.
Difference between his homey and mine is that I used the 'Improve OK Homey detection' setting and he did not.
Could it be that using the: Improve OK Homey detection actually makes it worse?
Is there a way to reset it to it's default value?
Allright just did a full reset and guess what, OK Homey detection works a LOT better now!
So the improve OK Homey detection actually seems to make it a lot worse...
Issue can be found here:

Only when it does not process a speech input correctly (so Orange > White > Nothing) you have to wait a about 2 seconds before the next OK Homey. I think there is some sort of delay before Homey is ready for listening again.
A full reset meaning removal of all data.
I didn't test keeping the data.
Thnx Athom, for making my life excited again
- What are you?
- How are you doing?
- What is the meaning of life?
I tried completing the training for months, didn't work.
As a test, I logged on with my daughter's login and she could complete the training in 1 go!
But I regret having done that now
I made a flow to improve de KAF (Kid Acceptance Factor). When the trigger was 'Elsa', it didn't work. Homey didn't understand it. But with the trigger 'Frozen' it works almost every time.
Now we are tree days later, and i'm gonna like it/get used to it.
I've expected a more Siri look a like. I'm understand that not everything is correctly parsed by Homey. This is also where is see the potential of homey in a couple of months.
If Siri doesn't understand me, he gives me feedback. "I don't know what that means. If you like, I can search the web for 'Input speech'."
This is a very handy feedback. But i'm als see the downside of it. Because Homey also listening when I'm watching the news of the TV. I'm not want hearing every 10 seconds: "I don't know what that means.".
So this could be a useful addition to Homey, but not right now if the Homey triggers when your not want to.
Overall i'm very happy with this nice piece of my life.
I made a flow with KAKU that when I say Lights off the flow will start to turn the lights off.
Curios thing is that the flow works, and when it runs, Homey states that he can't find any light to turn of, while the lights go off.
At this place I like to share the change from negative into positive while trying to let Homey listen and answer.
Until today sometimes it seemed to listen but was not able to understand and/or to answer on my standard commands like "what is the time". At other moments it was completely "east-Indian" (for the Dutch readers). I tried again and again in English and Dutch. And then suddenly, and partly because of I was triggered by some remarks I read at this forum, I took Homey from my living into my study and placed it close (less than 1 meter) to me and my Mac. I started the voice training, which I did not do before, and walked very fast through the five steps (just 7 attempts for 5 steps). From that moment Homey listened and gave the right answers, both in Dutch and even better in English. I took the beloved pet back to its original place and also there it behaved itself in a very proper way.
So my advise for Homeyans with the same experiences: do not ask why, but try!
Homey sees it like this:
(thanks Marvin)
I had the same issue and I fixed it by placing a comma after each word that Homey should say. This way you are forcing Homey to pause after each word spoken.
