edit: created the request
Zigbee (Wiki) is:
With a ton of specifications:
.Philips Hue uses the Light Link specs and Athom confirmed the will develop support for Zigbee Light Link (and in the future more specs)
thanks in advance.
If needed I'll hook Homey up to my power bank and give it a drive around the block
- Parrot flow power, not directly, able via IFTTT
- Harmony hub, there is an app
- Sensibo, not directly, able via IFTTT
The not directly apps should be able to have an app created if someone is willing to create one. (don't know if Bluetooth is a requirement for the Parrot, this is not implemented, yet)
I just pre-ordered the homey and I can't wait to get my hands on this device. I own a Fibaro HC2 right now with a lot of z-wave devices. I'm really fed up how Fibaro treats it's users and the closed source way they handle things. That's why I was looking for other solutions and found Homey. I really like how you're communicating and the way you approached/handle things. Just what I'm looking for!
So I'm planning to gradually migrate from the HC2 to Homey. In this process I will try to share as much knowledge and experience with all of you, if appreciated of course.
Some questions I have:
1 - Does it support the 'Thinking Cleaner' faceplate for Roomba?
2 - Is there a way to program things like Fibaro does with it's lua coding?
If so, does it has debugging options? Can global functions be used (for using them in local scripts)?
3 - Does Homey have a way to see the (z-wave/zigbee) device reception strength and node-routing info?
4 - Does Homey have a cross-reference ability to search devices or variables?
EDIT: 5 - Does Homey support other controllers as slave?
I know that are a lot of (strange and silly?) questions. but I experimented a lot on home domotica the last several years with different setups and would really have a system without waiting for months to get a workable answer or solution.
Thumbs up for what you achieved so far, it looks impressive! But don't make the same mistake a lot of manufactures do. Please promise what you preach, be fair. No is also an answer...
I'm looking forward to get involved!
2. The Z-wave implementation is getting a rewrite, it's not yet clear what it will look like, other than that there will be apps for devices/brands.
3. Not now, maybe in the rewrite, maybe not.
4. No.
5. Think so, but never really looked into that.
Thanks for answering the questions! It's appreciated.
Nice!
They are very popular in Belgium.
Thanks
(becaue I don't know if ist an popular or unpopular system/appliance but seems to me supperieur to Sonos & Heos because it also can support / can be extended through bluetooth devices from every Musiccast speaker. so you can choose of you listen through that wireless speaker or maybe connect/link a e.g. Bluetooth headphone(or mini speaker) to it (in that room). Sonos and Heos cant do that.
ATHOM : Any thoughts about adding support for Yamaha MusicCast after now you already support SONOS and HEOS ? http://nl.yamaha.com/nl/products/audio-visual/musiccast/ Thank you.
The company ubisys makes several ZigBee 3.0 Home Automation devices, e.g. dimmers, switches, shutter controls, etc... A description can be found here:
http://www.ubisys.de/en/smarthome/products.html
Would these (in particular the Universal Dimmer D1) be supported by Homey? I am looking for a ZigBee gateway/bridge that could support these products.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
I must say, that for Broadlink there is a kind of work around (not very user friendly though) to use their sensors on Homey.
Take Sonoff for example - this has been hacked to work without firmware flashing (see thread on here), they are dirt cheap (~£€5 per unit) and provide the functionality of TP Link plugs at 4 times that price.
Producing an app for this could save the community 1000's of £€$ cumulatively, but as yet they are relatively unknown...
I personally don't have the technical knowledge to make an app for this, but would be happy to buy someone who does a device to get this done as I believe it would help many people down the line, but how do we ensure these requests do not get lost - is there a 'request' area or is it just post and hope someone sees it?
https://github.com/athombv/ch.sonoff this is RF433

the later is mentioned in https://github.com/athombv/homey/issues/1857 requested by @vaderag (thanks)

(Please ignore if already answered, newbie and have searched but not found)
Tnx for a great product!
The reason I write is that I have a whole bunch of old Ikea koppla rf remote sockets. They don't make them anymore but I am guessing lots of people will have them, if they haven't thrown them away by now.
The koppla was originally supported on the rfxcom units as 'lighting3' protocol. Ive loaded the rfxcom app on the homey but there doesn't seem to be a way of pairing the Ikea units with it.
Any ideas anyone on the above things? Not sure why there isn't a function to clone simple rf hardware.
Thanks
Dan
Also, if you run by Jula you could pick up some of the Nexa Z-wave stuff, which can be used with the Everspring app.
So just a cloning app for RF signals would come in very handy, unfortunately I'm not smart enough to do it myself.
