  • For the techies amongst us... You can use node-red on a Raspberry and install the contrib-alexa-local node. Give it a name in a flow and Alexa will find it as a device. Multiple devices are possible. You can put it on or of and dim it. You can then …
  • Not using it at the moment. Waiting for more flow editor functionality. I guess it is very difficult to add some basic functionality since I am waiting for it since day 1. I was not planning to create 100+ flows and certainly not when there is a ris…
  • Compatible again with current Homey version.
  • Ah I missed the dev preview part.  I'm sorry. When did they introduce that? So now they built the software, test it themselves, move it to dev preview, then to experimental and finally to stable. That's how we do it, except that we do the module and…
  • Rocodamelshe said: Ur developer also? Then u would know that the dev preview channel is for a select group of peeps for testing the next release aye? So why u wanna ask on the forum about this, don't get it realy. That's they way it has…
  • mruiter said: Sorry to ask. It's probably just me. But what's the use of this topic or the question?  According to you 6 (and counting) likes there are people who do not care ;-)
  • mruiter said: Sorry to ask. It's probably just me. But what's the use of this topic or the question?  The question is to the Homey organisation, they promised V1.2 this week.  Missed it or is it forbidden to remind them?
  • Waiting for approval...
  • YvesGeffens said: +1 It would be greatly appreciated if someone can update it. Maybe it's only a limitation of the version-number in the installer (just hoping ) ? @JohanKuster Yves,  I will do my best and start working on it. Somebo…
  • techniman said: Basically it's a salespitch, but there are some interesting things in there, the one we are discussing here was the mention that they are looking into the Amazon dot integration...  Which could be a great solution to some of the…
  • so where is the....? The long-awaited Media update has taken a lot longer than we had hoped, but we're still on schedule to release it to the experimental channel in January. From the start, Sonos and Heos will be supported as speakers, and SoundCl…
  • Echo dot works with Samsung SmartThings hub. So, you will have support for Zwave, zigbee, bluetooth, ip controlled devices and last but not least a great voice control.  Combined, they cost half the price of a Homey...
  • MrDutchfighter said: JohanKuster said: JohanKuster said: At least make this a optional system setting. On: it tells you it doesn't understand the question and Off: current behaviour. Here is why I am lost. I made a few …
  • OpenMind_NL said: It's not so difficult to create a few flows to make Homey say that it didn't understand the question. - When Homey stops listening set a variable  like 'waitForHomey' to true. - When Homey says something, set the variable 'wa…

  • jeroenbos22 said: You can return all you want, you wont find a better product then Homey When it comes to domotics. And dont come up with Alexa / Google home because they can only control a very limited set of devices, those dont come close to …

  • Rocodamelshe said: When u check http://Homey-IP/manager/speech-input/ u can see if he actualy DOES something. Open that page in ur Chrome browser and try: Tell me the time What time is it What is the time And whatever u feel like to ask. Be sur…
  • MarcelTimmermans said: OpenMind_NL said:  Hmmm... That Morgan Freeman voice is great, but it also makes me wonder... What is Homey thinking about while it seems to do nothing?! I have no faith anymore in homey voice. I had a ch…
  • I guess you only need a password now to have access to one's Homey? I wonder if this is such a smart idea. I tested my connect again today and the session is still active, no need to re-logon... I prefer to be able to set this functionality off, for…
  • ArnoudDeJong said: Just saw this topic, interesting as I have been working on my own dashboard these last couple of days. Because I stopped working with my homey since a couple of months, this dashboard is listening to a mqtt bus and the data i…
  • caseda said: @JohanKuster ;; Really..? Who says they aren't working on zwave and the enhanced flow manager at the same time.  Do you even understand how complex homey really is?  With reactions like "I can't make flows because it is just not …
  • hnijveen said: caseda said: When they start adding the "or" ability to the flow manager will need a practically full rewrite, the way it is working now it is not possible at all.  So it could be called 2.0 (probably won't because it i…
  • Ronneman said: Sommo said: the only better things infact it's only the flow management I like the "Block" concept too. It provides a lot of functionality and is relatively easy.  I use something similar for Android Apps, …
  • rdomingo said: I got 2 x "fibaro dimer 2" z-wave device Stick to Fibaro so you can always buy a Fibaro Home Center if Homey fails to deliver.
  • I wonder how the average Joe who is supposed to buy Homey is going to create these 'basic' flows? I don't know when homey is ready to be bought by the public but they need to change the flow editor fast. Move in a blockly type of interface!
  • Panda said: Keep in mind that Athom is a startup, not a full-fledged company like Apple, so no they aren't working on a Homey 2 and why would they. The current Homey is able to support almost every protocol out there. As other have said, opens…
