Did a search on the forum and couldn't find any usefull information.
Addinh al the buttons manually is a nightmare. One mistake and you have to start all over, as there is no possibility to edit your configuration.
I really hope this gets some attention from te developers.
I also noticed the IR stream visualization is gone, why is that? You used to be able to see the IR pattern that was recorded. This was really useful to determine whether a signal was proper recorded or not. It also helped with recognizing why some remotes where not picket us, as the first part of the stream alway's was the same pattern, and the new different parts where outside the record window.
It would be nice if Homey was able to turn them on before Christmas.
Are the IR leds visable through the holes in Homey?
Is there a list available for IR equipment which is already working with Homey?
Since the IR function of Homey was renewed 1 or 2 months ago I don't succeed anymore to learn a IR code. All I get after 15 - 20 times pressing a button: invalid_session.
So we've to wait for AtHom for adding all the codes for all the equipment we're asking for.
Logitech says their database contains like 27.000 pieces of equipment... building that seems a couple of years work....
And how you are doing this all? How do you obtain all these remote controls to programm these into your database? Or do we need to ship and lent our remote controls to you so you can programm these???
On screen I see that there is a reaction learning a button on the Dreambox IR remote, so I assumed Homey can handle this signal, but using this in a flow does not work at all. Is there anyone outthere with a Dreambox remote working on the Homey?
Thanks for a reply.
No app yet but somebody was working on one for some more topics just search for enigma on the forum.
It took me a couple of weeks and i do not use it for switching channels (its to slow using homey) I had to turn devices and place homey a bit more from the wall.
The strange part is moving homey from the wall away made the voice commands working a bit better now. Its 50/50 but this could be due to how i have set my flows (still a beginner) i use maybe to simple commands instead of a sentence.
We tryed it on a lot of devices as we are in different building and pressentation rooms (TV's, Tuners, Led lights, Airco's, Ventilators), but it never really works. All devices are often not in the Database, or it is a generic one that doesn't work. Also recording from available remotes seems to be getting recorded (in the past I could see what it recorded but since the IR update I can't see the signal anymore, really a downgrade) and I can name different buttons. But they never seem to work. Trying at different ranges from the device and different record ranges with the controller.
This is really to bad as often the homey isn't even included in the presentation anymore because there are not other devices to link up. I'm disappointed at the IR capability's as often a universal remote with record function can do this out of the box.
We had one time a working led strips, but it did not do what was expected from the pressed buttons, it just changed random to different colors.
In the meantime we have been working on improving the 433 MHz & IR receiving range by implementing a new decoding algorithm, and the results look very promising so far! We might write a blogpost about our magic in the future as well.
