    From last Friday's update:
    The last five days have been very productive for us! We've made a lot of progress on the tasks we were working on. Next week a large update, Homey 0.9.0, is planned which will make Homey a lot more stable. Some freezes have been found and solved, others were most likely caused by a problem in Node.js, our programming language, runs on. So that's deep stuff! To ensure a better user experience, a patch has been applied in Homey 0.9.0 that if Homey crashes, it automatically restarts.
    So yeah, I would expect an software update today! Athom usually delivers these at the end of the day.

    That's kind of sad... you were deleted due to the lack of Homey updates? Poor you!
    Good thing that you can still post, even though you don't exist!

    Lol, I'm blame SwiftKey for that stupid typo!  :p

    Hope they don't wait untill next vriday! 
  • mglatmglat Member
    I did already did count on this, so it's fine. Next week will be more exiting hopefully.
    Homey is just consuming energy right now. (...ok...and gloing very nice...)
  • ThijsDeJongThijsDeJong Member
    Was hoping for an update, so I could install a Holliday flow
  • ThijsDeJongThijsDeJong Member
    But no. So now I just have to pull the plug and just be disappointed that homey doesn't work. A pity. Have a good weekend in the sun @emi
  • aloftaloft Member
    After a full month of no z-wave triggering functionality, I was more than ready to get the update. They seem to have it stable internally, so hopefully it will be released sooner than next Friday on the experimental channel, so Homey's fun:frustration ratio will be better. And z-wave is as stable as promised.

    This is a big update which needs to be tested real thorough!
    After this the updates won't be as large and more frequent updates are possible
  • tim1990tim1990 Member
    Yes till 1.0.0 i think! But that will take som time i think.
    Also, i think the best testing will still be to get it out "there". The Kaku app update took 2 weeks because of the "testing" with small groups by updating the other 433mhz first but there are still problems.

    1. Until 1.0.0 we (users) should expect thing go terribly wrong, so testing ok, but not to much. Better more frequent updates which fix things, then having a sitting duck for 5 weeks

    2. Do you have a source for the faster and smaller updates? Thought I read that Athom learned there lessons with the small weekly not really good tested releases.

    So a 2-3 weekly release with OK testing is more likely.

    Agree. The issue is, Athom cannot test every situation. That is why there is an experimental channel, for people who are willing to help them in testing the various situations they encounter. When they first launched, Z-wave was also expected to be stable. In 'field-testing', it became clear it wasn't, forcing a complete rewrite. 

    So while I believe the rewrite will increase Z-wave's stability, it will probably still have bugs and issues. Especially with radio signals, there are a lot of factors that can influence. 

    Given that statement, I am still a bit baffled, that they knowingly 'disabled' Z-wave triggering, and didn't provide a quick update to roll that back. Or, if rollback wasn't possible (which I read somewhere between the lines), at least provide quicker updates to the experimental channel.

    Now many Homey users had an unusable device for more than a month. That is too long, even for an "beta" product. I still believe in the product, but I sometimes cannot understand all decisions that Athom makes. On their website it states that they are focused on the community, but sometimes it is a bit of a one-way-communication relationship.

    I don't think it was intentionally, it was just something that broke because of an update. And I understand that it is probably too much work to go back to the previous version, fix the broken code, release an update while they are probably already much further with a new firmware version that will 'solve all'.
  • ReemsterReemster Member
    @Emile, Maybe we can do for a change, a update release Wednesday?  :/
  • MarcoFMarcoF Member
    @Reemster ;
    Relax :) 

    After 1008 hours no updates, we can wait let's say another 1-1,5 week! Better late than never and better a good tested release then one with tons of bugs (we getting closer to 1.0.0 so we may expect a much higher level of firmware releases)

    Most WiFi problems will be solved by a reboot of the router.

    My thoughts exactly, not because I want to rush things, but do this every (other) Wednesday to give the developers a weekend off, Instead of monitoring and fixing bug(s) during the weekend after each release....
  • MarcoFMarcoF Member
    I think the developers of athom don't know the words "weekend off" 
  • keverjeroenkeverjeroen Member
    I read on Slack that possibly this thursday is the new friday! ;)
  • RocodamelsheRocodamelshe Member
    I read on slack that devs maybe get an email today about the changes. Maybe tomorrow.
