Mod break: merged old Thermosmart App topic into new main discussion topic to keep history Okay, just got my Homey, installed this app, and now I'm trying to figure out how it works. According to the app description in the app store, the app shoul…

@Robebar thanks, I just had a look, and that indeed doesn't look very promising. It's sad, just plain sad, that they're in the process of alienating an (imho) fairly large group of users, because they feel that they've made something wonderful, and…

Homey v2.0 Backup & Restore will be introduced in this release. This will also be the release where all desktop interfaces will be removed and the new Homey Smartphone App will be available to everyone. (from Friday's software status upd…

No, I wasn't on stable, that's why I haven't made a big deal of this here on the forums (although it is my opinion that even on experimental, a deadlock situation such as the one I was in shouldn't be possible). And no, I wasn't the only one who suf…

I too am seriously considering switching to a different solution. I recently lost my entire setup due to a faulty firmware update (1.31), and after receiving it back from Athom (factory reset), I haven't bothered to start adding any of my flows agai…

Different question... this time actually for the community as well! Maybe someone can explain this to me: Microsoft claims 1.5 billion active Windows users worldwide (total for all versions of the OS) Google claims around 1.4 billion active Android …

We don't need Athom to RESPOND here on the forum. We just need them to READ this, and take it into account. A response in their next software status update or blog post is perfectly fine. If they're not even reading the popular threads on their own …

You're still ignoring what I said, even in my previous post... Windows 10 only, and "maybe one day" just isn't good enough, as they're planning to actually REMOVE a much used feature from Homey, ie. PC/Mac support. If they would announce completely …

@lubbertkramer I feel that I need to keep repeating myself... so please, please also read my previous posts before replying, as it's all in there already. I'm not shouting NO to the new app, to whatever the user interface will look like, etc... I'm…

@lubbertkramer @emile clearly stated that "the Homey Desktop App (and all web-interfaces) will eventually be removed as of Homey v2.0." There's no IF or MAYBE in there, it's stated as fact. You're right, 2.0 will not be released tomorrow, but anyone…

@caseda If emulation is so easy to set up, then maybe Athom can provide an installer for Windows that sets up/updates the entire environment, so that every single PC user does not have to figure it out for himself. I *have* tried a variety of Andro…

Sure, for people who use their smartphone all the time, I can absolutely imagine that the user experience on their smartphone can be better (or at least equally good) to that on a PC. But that is not the case with everyone. For me personally, on ave…

@swttt actually, the setup/configuration for all the officially supported bluetooth devices (those present in their own database) can be downloaded from the Harmony database to the hub through the desktop software (as well as changed there)... you'd…
-
Okay, let's try this... can everyone please answer this poll, to give Athom an impression of the number/percentage of users still interested in the desktop app? Because apparently Athom believes that this is only a very small minority, so that maint…

swttt said: Try to setup a Harmony remote or a Smartthings hub using a PC Or try to use Bunq bank on your desktop They all don't have desktop apps. They do provide apps that are killing it tho, and easy to use. The Logitech Harmony *does…

I have nothing against improved tablet support. But not instead of Windows Desktop support. I don't own a tablet, and I definitely won't go out and buy one just for this. And as others have said as well, I don't see myself using my phone for Homey s…

Just a small demographic that may be relevant to this discussion: The number of smartphone users worldwide is currently around 2.3 billion, out of a roughly 7 billion population. That's less than 33%. The Netherlands may be an exception here, with 8…

Emile said: Windows Phone or Windows Desktop isn't planned to be supported as of Homey v2.0.0, because the amount of users with a Windows Phone is almost non-existent anymore and diminishing. But the amount of Windows Desktop users defi…

Ok, will do. Thanks for the info.

Ever since I updated to 1.3.0.rc11 a couple of days ago, Homey continuously tells me that he is "Not connected to Athom Cloud". I already tried a reboot and a full power down/power up, but that hasn't solved it. Am I the only one having this issue?

Waggie said: Hi All Guess I can count myself as lucky as Homey does recognise what i am saying, however he's very confused. When I ask him to turn on the lounge light, he responds with "I do not know what you want me to do" and then turns the l…

It's kind of sad that you still need so many other Home Automation devices/hubs to get an environment where Homey is useful. Wasn't Homey supposed to be the one go-to device for all connectivity? Mission failed, I guess...

Homey uses external speech recognition engines to convert speech to text. Those work specifically for english or dutch, depending on what language you chose in Homey's settings (and, to be honest, often this is quite unreliable even for those two la…

I'm having serious issues with voice recognition in rc10 as well. One very specific example: I have a flow for "turn on the TV". This worked reasonably well (~60% of the time) up until rc9. In rc10, Homey consistenly recognizes "Turn on the" and gi…
-
Note: as of Homey v1.2.0, a much requested feature was feedback when Homey did not understand what you said. Is there a way to disable this? Voice recognition is still as bad as it was before, but over the past couple of days, I have had 8 times…
-
To keep it clear... those who say speech is improved, are you using English or Dutch? And those who say speech isn't improved (or even got worse), are you using English or Dutch? My Homey is on English, and as I said, at close range recognition is …
-
One thing I did notice with 1.2 (rc 8, I just updated to 9), is that the range of voice recognition appears to have improved quite a bit. At close range (<2m), the voice recognition quality hasn't changed a lot, but now I get the same recognition…
-
There are a lot of us having problems with speech recognition, so I believe a warning to potential customers is entirely warranted. Yes, there are also people for which speech recognition works. The sad thing is, those people kind of have the attitu…

@ZperX is correct. I am comparing the quality of their voice recognition services, as caseda said that it was too difficult to filter background noise. The fact that those companies can do it considerably better than Athom does now, means that it CA…
