I use both skills. Whenever I can I use the simple skill to turn things on and off or set a level. But the “ask homey” skill is needed to enable getting answers back. For example I can say “Alexa, ask Homey about the Security Status” and Homey brill…

I have raised a bug report on github https://github.com/athombv/homey/issues/2711 I had hoped for some dialog first. It is good that @JochemBroersen raised the Me-To post. It gave me the push to believe this is indeed a bug. And this forum is not…

I have created a patch for the app that supports the sensor. It turned out to be quite easy because the ZW120 was 95% the same as ZW112. I have created a fork so you can download it here and install using the developer CLI tools. Note my posting ju…

I got help on slack from very nice developers. The way to install an SDK 1 App on Homey is 1. Downgrade the CLI with the command: npm i athom-cli@1 -g 2. Login again with: athom login 3. Install the app using command: athom project --install The…

The ESPs that I have working right now NFC reader - this is so far the only one that I added Homey support for Fan driver in bath room (Sonos based but modified) - autonomous humidity control - Wemo emulation for remote on off so I can control it w…

I have searched for hours. There must obviously be a way for the SDK based Apps to be installed. The existing App gets installed via the App store and it is SDK v.1. And I can see that most apps made by Athom are still SDK 1. I found an old posting…

I had same problem and reported it. You can turn off the microphone in the settings. This does not disable the interface via the Alexa skill. Us Amazon Echo owners will never really miss the Homey speech recognition. You buy an Echo. Few weeks late…

I just built the ESP8266 based NFC reader. I saw the blog post and thought to myself - I have an ESP8266 Wemo board (example code works on Wemo the same as with NodeMCU with exact same PIN defs) and an NFC reader with same chip that I bought on eBa…

I did not even know there was two SDK versions. I am a total beginner here. Do you have a link to where it is described how to use older CLI tools that do work?
-
I understand your concern. Thanks for showing me a work around. In parallel I am trying to see if I can learn enough Javascript to add the missing sensor support to the Aeotec App but I am stuck and get even get the existing App loaded via CLI. (h…

Hi. I am trying (without knowing anything about nodejs and very little about JS - but one has to learn) to install the current master of this app using the CLI. I have installed node.js in Windows 10. And I can login and issue commands. I have downl…

I can see that this app would do all the work that I will otherwise need to create with 20+ flows. BUT. I cannot use it. I have two window sensors that are not yet supported by an app. They work just fine but as generic Z-wave devices. I use them n…
-
I think this thread is turning into a flow thread so I will moderate myself. I think it is not possible to make a single flow solution unless the device has a change feature. When I got something hooked up that looked at a value changing it started …
-
Hi Remember, my need was resolved! I am just learning alternative ways now. I was never able to get a flow to work using the tags. The device presents a tag called Contact Alarm but - If I use it in an action Logic A Variable Changed and put the Co…
-
Thanks, Just for the learning experience I want to try that. Just watched the video about tags. On my device, which is a generic Z-wave sensor, there is no little green tag. So it does not look like a simple thing unless there are default tags ass…

Lurendrejer You are a genius Yes. That was the hint I needed. I am not sure if I did it the perfect way but here is the description of what works 1. Installed the Virtual App 2. Added a new device which is a Virtual Device 3. Chose Device > Name…

But I still have no answer to my question And I have searched the forum and found no answer to my question. I searched for hours. The question is still open and unanswered How would you use a device which is not a door lock as a door lock sensor?…
-
The generic answer that you can go and program it yourself. It appears (at least to me) as very rude to assume everyone can program in Javascript or program at all. You should never give that reply to any question unless you are communicating progr…

I decided to ignore the warning. And the flows work. I use start and pause and stop. But it seems to give Alexa problems for a person speaking with an accent. Too often Alexa gets pause to post. But then I noticed a thing. It seems that the API th…

Hi. First I really appreciate your positive attention and I am deeply thankful. I went and did exactly as you suggest. But then I run into issue that has nothing to do with your App. But I hope you or others can help anyway. Anything I try to a…
-
That was not a very nice reply My question was "How do I setup a generic Z-wave device to appear as a lock?" And then you answer - make an app = program it yourself. I do not know how to program Javascript. Is it only programmers that are welcome…

I got it installed. I had not understood the step about configuration. I explained how my brain read the instruction in the github report. Now my next question is. How do I use it? I can see in the discussion that I can start and stop music. I a…

Follow up. I tried to rename the Banana to Bolt. Front door bolt - not too bad. It does not work. Alexa says that Homey did not provide an answer. Then I changed it to "Kiwi". Does not work. Back to "Banana". That works. Lock, Bolt, Kiwi does not w…

I just tried to add a Squeezebox. I just get a spinning wheel and then after a few minutes it crashes. I never get the chance to setup anything. It just crashes

I can for an answer to the same question. The 3 seconds search led me to this topic. And this topic led me to the link you gave with your grumpy message. And now I wasted an hour of my life plowing though all the pages of that long nightmare thread…
