  • many of the topics that were on this forum, with instructions, have been deleted from here and were moved to the support section on their new website: https://www.athom.com/en/support/
  • JohanKuster said: You will have to test this for internal commands. I wonder. Good point... I hadn't thought about the fact that internal commands don't have a separate Flow entry, thus you can't add the [variable to 0] there... we'd need s…
  • Ok, so this should already be possible: Flow1 : when [Homey starts listening] then [set 'stillListening' global variable to 1] + [start Countdown1 5 sec] Flow2 : when [Countdown1] and ['stillListening' variable = 1] then ["I'm sorry, I don't unders…
  • @JohanKuster  ;; you're right, there's too many things in that flow that are not supported yet. That's why I was trying an alternative approach (until Athom actually adds a 'Homey did not recognize a text' trigger), not as much focused on the concep…
  • Ok, makes sense that they would provide a faster shipping option with that service, then. For me shipping costs are included (0), so I guess that means they'll use the cheapest option possible...
  • Hmm... don't have my Homey yet, so I can't test this, but is it possible to create a time-based flow that triggers when the current time > (value of a variable + 5 seconds)? So: - when Homey starts listening, set a variable to the current time - …
  • honey said: Just got a message from DPD that it will be delivered this morning (United Kingdom). That is a very quick international shipping (2 days).  Wow! That's very fast indeed. I live in the Netherlands, and I haven't even received …
  • If you go through the purchase steps on the website, it tells you that your Homey will be delivered in Q2... that would mean that they should have it before the end of June.
  • Ziglar said: They delivered a product to the neigbours ?? dont @athom know that they are responsible until the package is delivered to the rightfull owner, and that if a neigbour accepts the package but claims not to have revieved it , it is …
  • spoelly said: hahah lol, i am hoping for the Girlfriend Acceptance Factor (GAF)   Then you'll have to wait for the retail experience. The GAF module is not included in the current beta version.
  • You can decide for yourself which one you like best. As the voice is only for text to speech output, it's all about your personal preference... https://www.athom.com/en/support/KB000030/ https://www.ivona.com/us/about-us/voice-portfolio/
  • DaneeDeKruyff said: Opening that page crashes Internet Explorer (11 on Windows 8.1)..... Just tried it with IE11 on Windows 7, and it doesn't crash, but it also doesn't show the graphic/animation.
  • @AcE_Krystal The email that you received when you signed up, contained the URL to the login page: https://athomcommunity.slack.com/ But I agree, it would be good to have a button on the website that forwards you there.
  • Get an Android device instead On a sidenote: an attempt to go to "support.athom.com" (from PC) results in an error "Cannot GET / "
  • Note that Emile's mail only said that the Homeys (for those who signed up for this batch) are on their way... he never said they would all arrive today! If a lot of Homeys were sent out, it is very well possible that part of the batch will arrive to…
  • @Emile  out of curiosity... How many Homeys were sent out in this batch?
  • I agree, thanks a lot for taking the time to write all this down. Very informative!
  • Emile said: That's pretty hard. What if the user changed it's password in the meantime, for example? How about: 1. If you have an active internet connection and are able to log in, then update the cookie with the bearer_token. That way,…
  • Lol... it's funny to see that, inside, people always remain kids. They just can't wait for their gifts to arrive...  does this remind anyone else of this...  
  • would be nice if Homey could cache/use this URL automatically...
  • RoelofRos said: i like the page with 'this is my Homey'   great closeup of the Homey and Power connector  ;-) I prefer the close-ups in the 'technology' section 
  • FrankBastiaens said: Emily???? I think it was Emile who answered   shhh, don't tell anyone... it's a secret... but some days Emile is Emily 
  • And according to the FAQ, it can only learn/recognize 5 faces... even less (max 2) if they're together. Not very much at all.

  • DaneeDeKruyff said: If you go through the order process it's stated that shipping takes place in Q2. Ah ok, I didn't go that far.
  • Looks really nice. My only critique is, that the section "What a day with Homey is like" uses the same devices a bit too often. Imho a bit more variety (or just less examples) would have been better. Oh, and no more mention how long people who orde…
  • Looks interesting. And yeah, there definitely is some overlap in functionality... I have my doubts about that AI part, though... a device that thinks/acts for itself based on what it thinks it has learned? I can definitely foresee problems there... …

  • MarcoF said: @Bumblez ; All kickstarter badges are send (expect a few foreign "orders"), so i expect the are done with Kickstarter. I think a move/post to there http://blog.athom.com would be great! A valid point, but I would expect them …
  • "free" is always relative, as imho the Hue sets are still pretty expensive... Philips may need to lower their prices soon to stay competitive, as more and more competitors appear on the market, that are offering their products quite a bit cheaper (t…
  • It's actually good to know that so many people have so much faith in Athom (and yeah, I signed up for the geek pre-order as well). And I do agree with @Weatherlight (I don't expect any changes to the hardware) and @jorden ("If Athom squashes 2-3 bug…
  • So all of you guys signed up to receive a 'not yet fully functional' Homey? Nobody decided to wait for the 'retail experience'?
