  • I'm on only 13 Zigbee devices but it's rock stable, never have any problem.
  • I'm happy to help if you tell me how to make the logs you need.
  • Martin_vd_Aart said: Great work Ted, I will order the Aqara Curtain controller now it's supported. Does anybody know if you can buy the curtain rails that will fit the Aqara Curtain controller in a (web)shop here in the Netherlands or do you ha…
  • Awesome! Thanks for adding the curtain controller. Now I can ditch the Chinese talking Xiaomi wallplug again TedTolboom said: [..] But let me know if I missed some features on the curtain implementation, which the Xiaomi controller does …
  • PetervdK said: Hi, I tried to find my problem in the 14 pages, but either it isn't there or I overlooked it. I have bought some of the Xiaomi Temp/Hum sensors and am not able to connect one single one of them. They start to negotiate (sometimes…
  • Aaron said: Hi @TedTolboom Not to rush or anything, just for information. How is it going with the smoke detector? My wife wants some in the house so I am looking at different ones. My experiences with xiaomi are good thus far so I would like …
  • I've also just received a curtain motor today and I'm willing to lend it to anyone that wants to borrow it to further development of the app. I live in the The Hague area and can deliver it if it's not too far.
  • rtna said: Are the Aqara devices working directly on the Homey though Zigbee or is the Xiaomi gateway still needed? (Note, I'm not running the alpha preview so I'm going on the information in the posts) The screenshot you see is made wit…
  • Sevift said: At least with the use of the gateway)  Without the support of xiaomi, buying Homey does not make sense to me. On all popular systems for a long time already implemented support through the gateway. Tried that some time ago …
  • Phuturist said: Anyway, a much more elegant solution would be to support the sensors directly over Zigbee without the gateway as Ted already mentioned. Zigbee should become available with firmware 1.4. Athom has no plans to look into this integ…
  • Don't expect direct direct Zigbee connections any time soon. I have looked into using the API for the gateway but that had some issues to. Still want to test if I experience the same issues when running the script on my PC rather then Homey. Can ot…
  • Rocodamelshe said: Fun to see u compaire Athom with Apple and Google. In my opinion U have 3 options: 1. Give up and buy something else. 2. Put Homey in the closet and wait for Athom to make Homey better then the rest. 3. Stop complaining and m…
  • I described here how to create the env.json: https://github.com/Joolee/nl.joolee.homey.neato/issues/8 I'll try to get the app as-is on the store some time this week if @MarkSwift is fine with. It won't be pretty but at least you'll be able to click…
  • I've created a basic test script to make Homey listen to the UDP API of the Xiaomi gateway. Unfortunately, it seems to be very unstable. When I instruct the gateway to change it's LED colour on every button click from a wireless switch, the gateway …
  • RobinVanKekem said: Cant we send the speech-to-text output of Echo to Homey? :P
  • Pils said: But how can you make a flow without an IF?  I mean; can you make a flow just to turn on the TV? And use that flow in another flow? There is now an 'when this flow is triggered' card :P
  • Hey Robert, Now that someone from Athom is actually responding to these questions; At the very start, Athom communicated that the signal processing chip is currently unused. A bit later (I can't find that any more) they also told us that an external…
  • tunf said: can someone post a screen shot, i'm not able to get this to work. Can this workaround also be used to start/ stop something using an nfc card? So first times it is used turn on lamp, second time turn off/ dimm and if possible third t…
  • The OK Homey works reasonably well now. Better than the online voice recognition if I may say so. It would be nice to have some emergency commands available offline. Turning on the light is definitely one of those. Another could be to ask Homey for …
  • Joolee said: 9. Usage of normal clickable links to app pages instead of JavaScript. The a tag exists, use it! 10. Remember scroll location of the app listing page when using the back button of the browser (could be solved by implementing 9) …

  • Athom promised to release an Arduino lib for those exact modules. The Geek versions were suposed to ship with the NRF24L01+ sensors but they switched to the NRF905 type. Probably because of the improved range of using <1 Ghz communication compare…
  • Emile said: Ah, like that. I don't think that's an open standard. Maybe you could contact Philips for us if they would support such a thing? I think this would require Homey to register itself on the Hue bridge as a 3th part led light or…
  • Rocodamelshe said: DaneeDeKruyff said: @joolee idealy a radiator valve like this is mounted horizontally, when mounted upright it is placed in the hot air from the tubes. For a 'regular' thermostat this doesn't matter much because it's…
  • Would Athom share their algorithms for recognising the "Ok Homey" command, it should be quite trivial to create a fan-supported raspberry pi image (or just a simple daemon) that accepts commands and relays response audio back. Homey already has API …
  • As soon as I get my Homey, I would like to create apps to control Mopidy, MPD and MusicBee audio players. I can of course expose the controls as action cards but does Homey offer any api to integrate a new device as separate audio player? The last i…
  • These displays point up Are there any (cheap?) radiator valves that display the temperature at the side? I know the Honeywell valves have their display on the side but afaik, those things can't communicate directly with Homey but need their own (ex…
  • Will Homey be able to function as a receiver? I don't have any Hue hardware but I do have an ambilight tv that is able to control Hue lamps. I would like to use that signal to let Homey controll the colour of my led strings
