    Again, this is awesome Niels! Job well done; and thanks a bunch. Now I just have to wait on my NEEO :blush:

    I looked at your app's description in the store and I'm not fully sure if I understand you correctly. So please bear with me :)

    You talk about "custom drivers" and "custom drivers with a selectable device type.". I tried searching NEEO's website to learn more about customer drivers yet I can't really find anything that explains this clearly. So you could help me out by explaining what this means?

    Lastly, did I correctly understand that I can set-up my NEEO in a way that it communicates with my already exsting (Z-wave) devices that are connected to Homey? Or do I connect the devices to NEEO's brain and use the devices in Homey through your app?

    Thanks for your help! I'm really psyched about this!

    I might need to change the text to something more clear, unfortunately this was the best i could come up with.

    The app lets you define device drivers with capabilities. i.e. you could add a new device driver and name it "len's KaKu 433 light" Add a switch (for on/off) and a slider (for brightness) to this device driver. This device driver that you have custom build in the app settings will now be available in NEEO. when you add a new device on the NEEO and search for the just created device you will find your device in the list. and you will be able to add the device to NEEO.

    When you change the switch or the slider of the device on the NEEO remote. it will activate the trigger card "when a switch is changed" or "when a slider is changed" With a flow you can use these cards to for instance power on/off a 433Mhz light. or any other device or app in neeo. this way its possible to control every homey connected device with some custom buttons on NEEO

    Also controlling any device that is connected to NEEO is possible. just with a flow on homey. hope this helps

    Yes and Yes ;-)

    Zwave is native to the NEEO so this is allready possible without my app but you can also control your z wave devices or anything else you might have connected to your homey. just make a flow and let either a custom build device driver, a recipe (NEEO name for what homey named a flow) or a specific button be your trigger to start the flow.

    Every recipe you have on NEEO can be started or turned off with a action card. you can make a flow where homey listens to (Ok homey, turn on the TV) and select the neeo card that activates a recipe and select the TV recipe.
  • JulianJulian Member
    Hi Niels, also here thumbs up for the work!

    I had the exact same question as above about the drivers, because that was also somewhat unclear for me, not anymore now. Would it be an idear to not name it custom device drivers but perhaps "(custom) virtual devices"? Because that is what I think you can do, you create a virtual device which can have different capabilities to control an actual device in Homey. 

    Just my 2ct.
  • nklerknklerk Member
    "virtual devices" is indeed a better naming from a Homey point of view. To NEEO these are delivered as device drivers  so that's the reason behind the name. I'll change it in one of the next updates. Maybe i can add some screenshots of examples so it's more clear. I'm happy to receive input on this.

    Hello,

    Am I mistaking or is NEEO another HOMEY (or Homey another Neeo) ??

    “Wireless.

    Connect Wifi, Bluetooth and Z-Wave and much more devices and let them interact with each other.

    360° infrared.

    Turn your living room into a smart one with NEEOs powerful built-in infrared blaster design.

    Everywhere.

    Connect an external 360° infrared extender (included) to control gear in and outside of cabinets.

    NEEO recipes make home automation simple

    Flows.

    Recipes (Flows) are simple and powerful. They allow you to automate everyday routines in your connected home and connect devices that usually wouldn't be able to interact with each other. Automation was never easier: we even create some of it automatically for you. You can modify recipes and create your own in minutes.”

    Or is there something else ??

  • nklerknklerk Member
    These products have a overlap in features but they also differ a lot. I'm happy to have both as they both have their strengths and weaknesses and together they form a perfect solution.

    Version 0.7.4 (submitted for approval.)

  • JulianJulian Member
    @nklerk; do you know if and/or when NEEO will support Dutch? Dunno, perhaps you are helping them already with the translations :wink:

    Must say, would be mainly for my kids but since NEEO is sooo delayed they now have had quite some English lessons so they would probably manage :smiley:
  • nklerknklerk Member
    @Julian You can name all your rooms and devices the way you like. I've made sure that most if not all channel logo's are available as well. my son (5 Years old) knows how to use the remote so i think you will be okay.
  • JulianJulian Member
    Ok, so no Dutch anytime soon I guess. Great that the channel logo's are available, only noticed lately that I think the kids would rather have direct Netflix buttons for their favourite shows there :smiley: 
  • nklerknklerk Member
    With Neeo and homey this would be an easy button.
  • JulianJulian Member
    I meant a button for the show itself, think that is still a bridge too far  B)

    Now they yell 'I want to watch Netflix' to Homey, then it starts via my Harmony. 
  • nklerknklerk Member
    lol. That's also a solution. my homey doesn't listen that well unfortunatly
  • lenonlinelenonline Member
    Hi @nklerk! A few months later, so just checking in if your still using the NEEO and Honey combo?

    I'm still eager about using your app however I'm also still waiting on my NEEO delivery. The final verdict on European delivery is still pending.. It has been a bit too silent to my liking. No updates whatsoever but the Americans seem to be happy :)

    Btw, just out of curiosity, are you using NEEO with the Ziggo Horizon box?
  • JerryvdvJerryvdv Member
    Mine just arrived  :D Very nice piece of gear!
    @nklerk any pointers for zwave devices? did you include the brain in the homey network or are you purely using the virtual devices in the neeo app?
  • PhaetonPhaeton Member
    It works well Niels. One question; I added a Lights virtual device. On Neeo I can make it appear (easy!). But if I open the recipe the first tab is empty and the second tab/screen has the short cuts. Do you know if I can either change the shortcuts to appear on the first tab or delete the first tab?

    Could you explain what you specifically want to know, I'm not sure what you are asking.

    You can create a virtual device in the NEEO app and expose it to NEEO. You can then use the Homey's Flow system to controll zwave devices. but NEEO also supports Zwave and can be secondary controller to homey.

    Could you please make a screenshot of picture to show what you mean?
    If you create a licht then it should be exposed as light with a slider just as it would with hue's for instance.

    Version 0.47.17 (Published)

  • xAPPOxAPPO Member
    Only had my Neeo a day, and Homey not much longer.  

    I would like to display a message on the Neeo screen that shows the number/name, maybe even a picture of an incoming telephone caller (displayed when I pickup/move the Neeo) .

    I already have the name/CID available in Homey and I can send that to a virtual device shortcut screen - but I would like somehow to get the Neeo to automatically switch to and display that screen when the phone rings based on something sent from Homey . Is this possible , perhaps via running a recipe or simulating a button press ?

    How did you got that working? I am testing and trying to send a textlabel to a shortcut screen in NEEO but after I add the text label capability to a NEEO virtual device in Homey it does not show up in NEEO when I try to select that capability in the 'add shortcut' part. 
  • xAPPOxAPPO Member
    Oh.. it just worked for me

     From memory I added the text label capability to the virtual device and then having selected that device on the Neeo , went to the shortcuts menu and pressed the 'Add a shortcut'  '+' button .  You then get a screen that says 'Add a shortcut from a specific device' and I selected my virtual device and all my capabilities were listed including the 'TEXTLABEL' .
    I don't think it actually displayed anything until I then added in the 'then' column of a flow a Neeo  'update textlabel image or image'' card and the text to display.  It then displayed both the name of the label and the content (after a swipe right).

    You need to re add the driver in NEEO when you make changes to the virtual device.
