  • Problem solved! Seems it just needed time. Today i came home and Homey was doing a nice rainbow ring Also it seems to have MASSIVELY improved over the last months: it used to catch "okay homey" about 1 in 20 times, now it cought 5/5   Happy!!
  • Plugged and unplugged a few times, both upright and inverted. Did not seem to help. Maybe i should leave it alone for a very long time, since it could just be doing lots and lots of updates? Could i have broken things pulling the plug during updates?
  • I can confirm this is fixed in 8.32. My homey just responded correctly to this command.
  • My English version triggers on just "okay" as well. 
  • I realised there were a number of posts like this one. Most of those seem to report that they got at least 50+% reliability. As i demonstrated, i get about 7%. Meanwhile there are a lot more posts of people developing apps, building flows, connecti…
  • Nope. But that accidental activate is not the problem. The 98% ignore/misunderstand rate when asking for time/date/loveyou/hateyou is the problem. I'll try changing language to dutch tomorrow, hopefully it will understand me then.
  • It's really bad. Girlfriend and me just sat down and tried. We fired at least 100 commands, probably 150. We got exactly 2 responses. Half the time the okay homey isn't even registered. Speech page shows tons of nonsense, often not even close to wha…
  • I had the same problem with 8.29. Out of 50 tries, homey replied exactly once. I was nearly convinced Homey was broken, untill i got that one reply. That's when i realised Homey must not be understanding me. After visiting the forums, visiting that…
  • Failed here too, about five times, and then suddenly it connected. Did not do anything different, was completely random. I aso noticed that the timeouts on the failed attempts varied wildly. One time i got the "failed" audio message within 30 second…
  • Mine just arrived too! Can't wait to go home and try it!
  • I'm looking at it this way: the day after the last preordered unit is shipped, Athom will still be producing dozens (or whatever the number is) Homeys that don't have a buyer yet. The next day, the same will happen, as the day after, and so on.  If …
  • Meh, MediaMarkt is still at the "Available soon" phase. Us backers and preorders have been in the "delivered in 6 weeks or less" stage for at least 8 months now. That probably means MM will get to sell these by Christmas 2017. By that time the bugs …
  • Feedback: the apps login screen does not say how or where to create an account. That should probably be added as link or as a built in registration screen. Positive note is that it said my username does not exist. At least i know not to keep trying…
  • @Emile: i noticed nearly all your estimates in this thread are based on the assumption that stuff goes right. That does not work You should plan by thinking about how many steps are needed to get there, then assuming each one will go wrong. It soun…
