  • OK I've found out why, I use the web version.. turns out the mobile app version of Alexa gives more options, I don't normally use that so didn't know this! Thanks for making me look
  • Of course it's possible! I'm talking about Athom offically adding the option rather than homey just giving out everything on the list.  I don't see an option to disable, just forget.. and then it comes back at some future point.
  • Since I changed to the new skill, Alexa seems to automatically discover all devices on homey. I've removed unwanted ones from the list but when I looked another day (no idea how long it takes, mins/hours/days) they have all been discovered again. Th…
  • Phuturist said: What is a proper skill in your own terms? The ask or tell Homey part is needed to identify that the voice command needs to be send to Homey instead of handled by Alexa itself. How else would Alexa know what to do with something…
  • I've been using the HA-Bridge for a good 4 months now. It works really well to bring through homey devices as something Alexa can detect. Homey voice recognition is still bad and time has moved on with Alexa and google home devices. At the least, w…
  • Just bought the Echo dot this week, mostly because homey still isn't recognising my commands most of the time and yet I'm English with no particular distorting accent. Already Alexa is working a treat with homey and recognises me practically all the…
  • Had issues here too for the past few days, seems homey doesn't recognise BST clock change and it took a location change to get it to sort the time. Even a restart didn't solve it.
  • Using 1.20 rc9 and speech recognition is dreadful still. Speaking English, no discernible accent that could be accepted as causing unrecognisable words or phrases. Simply testing to turn on heating and it thinks I'm saying various things other than …
  • Thanks, is this what you need? http://imgur.com/PVLzI53
  • Just tried adding my Greenwave powernode sockets, thought it was the powernode 6 but turns out to be a 5 socket version NP21x-G (UK). And as such is not detected and just gets added as a basic device. Any chance this could get supported? Was just i…
  • Nice! Just added and tested! I can finally now successfully turn on/off my heating again Hopefully at some point the status issue can be sorted but for now this was one of the main things stopping me migrating away from FIbaro HC2 to Homey, so man…
  • Haha.. great thanks! Been checking during the past couple of weeks and thought it was Athom being slow
  • I know this went a little off topic, but in the theme of Virtual Devices, Just noticed https://apps.athom.com/app/com.arjankranenburg.virtual on the app store. Find it odd this wasn't a default in homey, and potentially shot down as an idea by them…
  • Well that works! Thanks for getting me started with using Better Logic as a Virtual Device.
  • No UK, so had never heard of Klik... or see a way of making that work as a virtual device. Thanks, I'll see if I can make use of the Better Logic method.
  • Amelsfort said: On the other hand: is having to tell Homey what to do really 'smart'? I think it's smarter if those things work without any extra user actions. Like walking into a room to turn the lights on and turning them off when everybo…
  • I have no idea what klikAan... is??? This was mentioned before for adding virtual devices but when I tried it I just see a list of remote controls it wants me to try and add, no idea how that would work? I'll have another look at better logic then,…
  • With the lack of a good dashboard and no ability to add virtual devices so we can activate flows etc.. speech is the only thing to use to control. We need a better alternative method to use homey.
  • Thanks for what you've done so far!! Looking forward to testing the app, some functionality is better than none If anyone gets the status working I'm sorted
  • Also have a Heatit thermostat for my bathroom. Interested to know if anyone has it working yet?
  • awesome, any solution is a good one at this point
  • Also interested in this, Even if to start with simply to allow on/off control of the ASR-ZW from homey. That did work last year as a basic device but since recent updates that hasn't worked for me for a few months, slightly frustrating as its now wi…

  • Still can't seem to detect a Fibaro dimmer.. just adds as a basic device on/off. Can add everspring on/off socket as basic device and it now works. ASR-ZW adds as a basic switch but doesn't operate(did previously.. no rush as don't need heating ye…
  • ok homey has started working ish again, .24 caused that to stop and instead hey homey semi worked, but since .27 its triggered loads of times from the TV, especially not funny when it starts relaying stuff from wiki etc.. and you cant stop it. So o…
  • Had oops being triggered all weekend, wife swearing at it and me every time it happens... a fix couldn't come quick enough!!!
  • After it not working the other week I've ignored doing anything with flows. This week (after latest .24 install) I tried my first one again.. light on at sunset, light off at sunrise.. with a pushover message setup to track it. The first one worked…
  • Mine seems OK for speech input, other than the OK homey not being picked up compared to hey homey. Anything I say shows in the /speech-input/ page (well what it thinks I said, often wrong). The last time I saw this it was one or more flows that was …
  • Mine did the same with initially sat at installing but doing nothing. I did a restart and tried again.. then it installed and hung at rebooting.. needed a full power unplug/plug.
  • Training seemed to work (as in green light 4/5 first time goes). But now it doesn't respond to "ok homey" it managed it once out of well over 20 attempts. It does however respond to "hey homey" 4/5 times. It still cant tell "on" from "off" very w…
