  • MarcelKuijper good for you! But what does this really say? This means buying a homey is a 300 Euro gamble. If you are lucky it works, if you are out of luck you have bought an expensive led ring for 300 Euro. The whole problem is stated within your…
  • Update: All is running fine on the Raspberry PI with domoticz for a week now. I wanted to write a review to compare the two systems, but to be honest; with every day the RPI/Domoticz running fine and reading about the possibilities, I rather spent …
  • @bvdbos There were certainly no loops in the flows or strange settings. In fact, as I will also explain in the review, I had just a minimum of devices, flows and apps. The memory usage and CPU usage were low. I had the (extra) apps: Philips Hue, Fib…
  • JaapPelt said: underground. It sounds like an good test and interesting comparison. I'm curious what the results are and how the user experience compares between the two. Keep us updated!   I will certainly keep you updated. I might eve…
  • swttt said: It doesn't help you, but just giving you the idea whats the cause and that it is working for most people. Since you are/were promoting open-source alternatives you should inform a bit more imho. Interesting. What idea are y…
  • swttt said: ... I only reboot on firmware updates, other then that (and since the z-wave rewrite) i never had issues. But that doesn't help me at all, does it? I still have the issues I mentioned before. To your statement about the com…
  • I finally have found the solution. The statement that phones are more popular than PCs/laptops and that therefore in the future only phones are supported whas the final push for me. I bought a Rasberry Pi with a z-wave gen5 usb stick. I am running d…

  • Bumblez said: 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 bill…
  • lubbertkramer said: ...Better write ideas, how could Athom do this and how does it need to look, what is needed in a new UI. Just my 2 cents that when helping forming the vision is more productive then just standing at the sideline onl…
  • MarkVanWinden said: Pro/cons I honestly dont know whats best for us users, the biggest point for me is that I dont have a private android of IOS device... If windows 10 isnt supported,, I need to buy another device just to operate homey. That …
  • Michael said: underground said: The phone can never beat a PC in user friendlyness. Haha. That is EXACTLY why people are replacing pc's with tablets or phones. So that's really nonsens. I have MacBooks, iPads, iPhone, etc. The reason…
  • But claiming "I don't know if I am pissed and/or very disappointed (again)" is a bit early, isn't it? We first have to see what Athom comes up with... I'm sure we'll be suprised... True, it is early and yes, maybe a bit too early. I am …
  • I am flabbergasted after reading Athom's plan to discontinue the PC app (web interface) and only support Android and iOS phone. Homey is not only reading temperature or controlling lights. Homey also means programming (creating and maintaining flows…
  • Update on the 'manual restore' from a backup that was only in my memory. I know I brought this hastle on myself, because I did something stupid which caused the homey to be bricked. I did sent it on a Saterday to Athom and I received it back on the…
  • Emile said: We are looking into backups, but it's a little bit more difficult because some chips on Homey (Z-Wave, ZigBee) store data as well, which have to be backuped and restored as well. So it's on our list, but hasn't got the highest prio…

  • Something went wrong here. After the update 1.3.2 I got a purple ring (what I have read this means it is dead) I unplugged the power and plugged the power back in. After a few seconds of orange flashing, it stops. The Homey stays offline. Any sugge…
  • lubbertkramer said: @underground @jorden @rtna Here on the forum only everybody's case can be shared, if you want to report a problem / issue that needs to be at Github, the forum is more a community forum.  Athom can't track all bugs/problems/…
  • rtna said: System 332Mb, Swap 430Mb, Homey 134Mb and 42 apps installed. No problems at all with speed and stable as never before. I don't think @jorden is helped with your reaction. I see it a lot. Someone is reporting a problem and othe…
  • jjtbsomhorst said: I consider 20km to be near. If it would be possible to come over to Arnhem we can try to make an app for it. Or maybe we can arrange that I come over to Didam/Wehl You are welcome to test it here. This way you can chec…
  • jjtbsomhorst said: Is anyone living near Arnhem and has such system? Depends what you define as 'near' ;-) But I am living about 20 minutes from Arnhem (near Didam/Wehl) I have two different SoundTouch systems
  • bvb said: I think it will be enough to Switch it on/off (If ON turn it OFF, and vice versa) and controll the Preset Buttons to Play Music. Multiroom would be cool in Flows too. I am sorry to say, but the SoundTouch API V1.1.0 does not …
  • bvb said: I'm also wondering if there is no one using the Bose ST. In other Forums there are a lot of sample scripts and apps for this device. Isn't here someone using Bose Soudtough? I'm not a coder :-(, but it seems simple to write an app for…

  • Slofware said: Is het probleem met de WiFi algemeen of omdat jou situatie thuis niet goed is? Het is een specifiek homey probleem. Geen enkel apparaat in huis heeft een probleem, inclusief de Philips Hue Bridge niet (werken allemaal feil…
