This discussion has been closed.
Comments
While Homey v1.5.6 still is in the experimental channel, we regard this update as more stable than the current stable version (v1.5.3). Existing users will receive a stable version of Homey v1.5.7 as soon as the update is cleared by our Quality Assurance team and no new problems arise during testing.
excited to get my xiaomi zigbee stuff installed and #$%#$%#
it needs version 1.5.7 or higher ?!?!
and not able to get anything beyond 1.5.6
First user experience: - 5 pts

You'll need the experimental firmware for now...
Hovever the MAIN reason I bought homey was to enable it as a platform for different devices. As I am not a pro I spend endless hours researching and I am aware of its limitations (and proud of its dutch heritage and achievements). But... if the first thing that I encounter is that (a) the version needed to run apps is not installed, and (b) is not even available in experimental modus then this is not the greatest initial user experience. In general one doesn't scroll through forums in order to determine if the product has changed overnight.
I don't want to offset anyone on this forum because I appreciate the effort everyone is putting in the product. But as a consumer I assume I can express some sort of disappointment (at this moment no possibility for arming a zigbee alarm (xiaomi) on by doors, using the sockets to control smart lighting or enable the motion sensors. Would have loved to experiment with the cube and not to mention, use the xiaomi gateways as a siren and nightlight (not at the same time though).
And off course I tried fixing it first before my sigh of desperation. But I cannot access 1.5.7 (Homey advises to download this manualy, but to no avail). Neither did I find a way to access the experimental mode (or at least I didn't find a way how to enable it). In my release 4.14.15-gcba2ae51ba-dirty there is no option (in the update screen) to choose the experimental modus.
p.s.
(the -5 pts is not even influenced by the fact that I cannot edit my home... The new rooms and names are not stored. My home consists of 5 'nieuwe zone' ...)
thanks @Fire69; managed to access developer mode.
guess this is going to be a steep learning curve. From consumer to developer mode.
Lets see if I can get the chinese (Aqare/Xiaomi) to listen to a dutch product
Since 1.5.7 added the required fix to enable Cube rotation angle, I updated the App dependency to “>=1.5.7”
Previous app dependency was already based on an experimental version (“>=1.5.4), so once 1.5.7 was released to experimental, I updated the app.
@Ezdada please be aware that the Xiaomi Gateway is not supported (yet) by both the Xiaomi mi Zigbee (aka my) app as well as the Xiaomi mi Home app (of @Phuturist).
Propose to continue the discussion to https://forum.athom.com/discussion/4120 if needed
I do see firmware 1.5.7. is no longer there, 1.5.8 is not marked as experimental, but like 1.5.6 that does not mean it is released as stable, isn't it?
The topic about the stable 1.5.x had its latest update in February.
Just curious......
1.5.8 has been released to stable channel yesterday...
But nice! Hope I get the update soon!
