    @superice, does the app use the language settings defined in Homey, or only English?

    @superice, any comments on this? 
    I'd have to look it up, but I think the 1.x branch uses the language of the phone, 2.x has no localization yet, so english only. Would you prefer localization by phone or by Homey?

    I guess by Homey would be the most logical? 
    If your Homey is set to dutch, and through the app you send it 'lights on', Homey won't understand what you've said, right?

    I'd say phone because the voice language on the phone, in the app, shouldn't matter because my guess is that's handled by homey and not by the phone?

    @superice: Well done. What's next?

    My Homey is in Dutch, my phone in English. 
    The app now only uses English, and that's what is being sent to Homey. 
    Result is that Homey doesn't understand me... 

    I think the app should check what your Homey is set to.

    Thanks. I'm working on push notifications on Android in a separate branch, so work on that continues, although I'd have to wait for a open source library to update to deploy "Athom Notifications 2.0", so that may have to wait.

    Next up are probably geofencing for home detection and speech-output through the app, and of course some small things like localization.

    Yes, I think you are right. Thanks for your input!

    I think I'm going to ask a silly question. But how works speech recognition in the app? The line doesn't change to orange when I trying to say 'OK Homey'

    Well, it should! Does the speech wave go up and down with your voice when talking, because that would indicate the recording is running, but the trigger phrase ('OK Homey') doesn't get recognized.

    Are you running the 1.x-branch, or the 2.x beta version? You can check that in the bottom right corner of the navigation drawer on the left side.

    Hello,

    Thank you for your response!
    I'm running the 1.x version. And yes I see the speech wave go up and down.

    @superice:
    Sometimes I switch off the microphone, but it's hard to switch the mic on with a phone. Will you add an on/off button in the app?
    Thx in advance.

    Can't install the Official app on my tablet. Perhaps it's a bit too 'exotic' since it's not sold in Europe. Any change of getting it installed on my Nokia N1?
  • MarcoFMarcoF Member
    Perhaps you could add some more information about your tablet? 
  • RobinVanKekemRobinVanKekem Member
    @MarcoF The Nokia N1 is a tablet  ;)

    Ah ok, I thought is was a smartphone.... 

    It's easy to just say: 
    Can't install the Official app 

    Maybe he can provide some more information about this exotic table such as which OS version it's running, screen resolution(tablets are officially not supported because of res.) and everything that also could be important. 

    This way @superice just can concentrate on developing and not gathering info.

    Hey @superice I have a crashing app as well. I'm on version 1.1.6. When do you think a version is available in Google Play that fixes this crash issue? 
  • pascalpascal Member
    I would like to see that I can trigger a flow using the app on my phone without using speech. I noticed that the speech recognition is far from fullproof and it would be nice just to start a trigger using the app. For now I have way to many faults using the speech recognition.
  • PeaoPeao Member
    Feature request:
    If possible it would be awesome if you implement that if you scan an NFC-Tag on your phone while the Homey-App is open, it triggers all related flows, like homey would do.

    You could create a dummy "action" or "kaku" wallplug. If you choose the option to generate a new signal you don't need a remote or plug to create a device. Then you can control this actions with the main screen of the android-app.

    Could someone give an ETA on the iOS app?

    It's a work in progress. We're trying to get it through the App Store reviewing process, and in the meantime we're still fixing bugs. We're hoping to release it somewhere next week. (But that's not a hard promise!)

    Nice workaround! Works like a charm.

    Yesterday I was testing Z-wave reach and routing through my house. At our attic (4th floor) WiFi reach is very poor but sometimes the Smartphone picks it up. While the phone is switching between WiFi and 4G the app is unresponsive and controlling devices is not possible.

    O I'm using the latest Android Beta app( 2.0-beta.3 - build 37)

    Don't no where to put "issue" like this, so I post it here....

    When the phone is switching connections there is no active connection to use, so controlling devices is not possible until you get a solid connection again. Had the same problem with Domoticz and my attic, I installed a wifi access point there and now connection also rocks at the 2nd floor, which was a bit shady sometimes before (concrete floor..).
  • MarcoFMarcoF Member
    I'm fully aware of the fact a network connection is needed to control devices and maybe the "controlling devices" was not the best example.
    While switching networks the whole app became unresponsive. Sliding through devices, switching zones, all became slow/stuttering/etc.

    Is this the 1.x versions or the 2.x beta variants you're talking about?

    Sorry, missed that sentence. I'll see if I can fix it, the app should ofcourse never become unresponsive! Thanks for the report.
