HansieNL · May 2016

Check Node.js version on Homey:
Settings - System - Show Stuff for geeks - node_version

Install Node.js:
Download Node.js (Homey's version) from https://nodejs.org/en/ and install it on your PC.

Download App.ZIP from GitHub (https://github.com/...) to your PC:
Click "Download ZIP"

Unpack ZIP:
Unpack App.ZIP on your PC

Open Node.js command prompt, and install the athom-cli tools:
npm install -g athom-cli

On the command prompt, log in to your Homey:
athom login

Navigate to the 'root' folder of the App on your PC

For running project:
athom project --run

For installing project:

athom homey --unselect

Or even better. Install git

I'm a Linux (x)Ubuntu user, and I used these commands:

sudo apt-get install nodejs
sudo apt-get install npm
nvm install 4.5.0
nvm use 4.5.0
npm install -g athom-cli
athom login

Using my Homey email account and password, I'm logged in.

What commands can be used to control/check the Homey?

Nevermind... Using athom --help did the trick.

Anyone else get timeouts?

As a sidenote, with the Win10 update 1703 you can now also sideload Homey apps from the Windows 10 Linux development subsystem (which is Ubuntu running natively under windows) which can be convenient/useful.

sudo apt-get install nodejs
sudo apt-get install npm
# install nvm
curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/v0.33.0/install.sh | bash
nvm install 4.5.0
nvm use 4.5.0
npm install -g athom-cli
athom login

Refer to https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/commandline/wsl/install_guide for details on the Windows subsystem for Linux.

ETIMEDOUT incidates that there was a (WiFi) connection problem during upload to Homey...
normally a retry should fix the issue

on a side note, most likely also addressing @kperssson ’s question; the Xiaomi Zigbee app is not working yet, due to an issue that needs to be solved within Homey’s core.

Please address any further questions on Xiaomi Zigbee in above mentioned topic; not this topic...

yes. Isn't that right?

HansieNL · October 2017

@koeniebert : you are using the node.js command prompt?

Yannick · November 2017

is there a guide for doing this from OSX?

TedTolboom · November 2017

@Yannick almost the same steps, except for “Open Node.js command prompt” you need to open the terminal..
