@MarcoF I definitely do recall a post from Emile where he stated that they would raise the retail price after launch, but I can't seem to find that post right now. All I can find is the info behind the "Get your Homey" button on the main website, …

KyrosNL said: Why regret, when the product has "matured" and actually works, you can buy it at the retailshops or order from athom ? O_O At some point in the past they have stated that the retail price for which it will be available a…

As you made a normal pre-order, not a Kickstarter commitment, it's entirely your right to make this decision. For your sake I just hope you won't regret it in the future, once the product has matured.
-
Well, there are quite a few options for this available for the Rpi (fairly inexpensive), and with a device like Homey, I'd expect the developers to see the need for something like that themselves... after all, you don't want to lose everything that'…

Doesn't Homey have some kind of 'safe shutdown' (battery?) built in, to ensure that it always powers off safely when the power is interrupted? As the user may not always be in control of when that happens...

Panda said: "you come home from a cold fair" For those not as familiar with the Dutch language... that's the Louis van Gaal version of "you're in for a rude awakening"

If you REALLY want to buy a Homey (Geek edition) right away, while the software is still in the current buggy state, then marktplaats.nl is definitely your best option. Try google translate to convert the Dutch language into whatever you prefer... …

I assume that, next to fixing the issues, they also have some kind of internal test procedure in place to let somebody (other than the person who made the fix) test them all, and to ensure that it doesn't break anything else. Maybe the bottleneck fo…

As I said... Bumblez said: I never said there was anything simple about their design...

Vincent said: Great and solves the cable problem lol... looks like Homey was made with this setup in mind

I have the utmost respect for the guys at Athom, and for what they have been able to achieve. And I never said there was anything simple about their design, and the way in which they managed to integrate all these parts and make them work together s…

MarcoF said: Here's the whole board, not so straightforward if you ask me and its not just a simple extension board. Big Kudo/+1's/applause/etc for Athom!!! Yeah, my comment may have oversimplified it. Even though, at its most basic level,…

The description of that github page does indeed say: "Arduino library to communicate with Homey, using nRF905 transceivers", so I think your expectations are correct.
-
Well sure, there's a whole computer in there that the software has to run on. It's good that they used the basics of an existing (proven) system there... no use reinventing the wheel. Or are you suggesting that there are indications that there are h…

@MarcoF Not from day 1... I completely missed the Kickstarter campaign (otherwise I probably would have signed up as geek backer as well), but I've been following it for quite a few months now. Why?
-
So far I have seen nothing that I believe would have to be a hardware issue. Keep in mind that, at its core, the hardware is actually pretty straightforward... all Homey has to do is receive and send signals. Everything else (including the interpret…

@latscht Advance happy birthday to you. But next week? Highly unlikely (and probably very unwise as well) that they can send you a Homey in time for your birthday. Just give them the time to improve the software and deal with the current flood of te…

DaneeDeKruyff said: Although the P/N are different, they share the same FCC ID, I wonder how different they can be under that same ID... Yeah, I feel the same. It more or less confirms that they are all just different builds of the same …

DaneeDeKruyff said: The wise thing for Athom to do is communicate! Say what's beeing done about the current problems and give an estimate on when the next batches are delivered. I agree that communication could be (a lot) better, but …
-
Agreed, asking so much more than you paid for it yourself, is ridiculous... especially when you consider that, by the time the Homeys become more useful (ie by the time more apps become available), they will also be for sale at MediaMarkt... maybe e…

MarcoF said: @Bumblez ;;;;;; Do you have a Homey yourself ? Patiently waiting for mine, while looking into the options to start programming apps for it. I don't expect mine to work fine the moment it arrives, I know the software will take …

HubertHBergmans said: Beste lezers, Geen fraude of wat dan ook! Ik heb - gemakshalve - een verkooptekst gekopieerd maar ken de andere verkoper(s) niet. Ik woon in België en ben ondanks leeftijd (59) geïnteresseerd in domotica en andere nieuwe…

@HubertHBergmans Weet je zeker dat je niet gewoon nog een maandje of zo wilt wachten totdat de software wat beter ontwikkeld/stabieler is? Je hebt tenslotte al een paar jaar gewacht op de hardware... (in english): Are you sure you don't simply w…

Bumblez said: The green (Ultimate) one should definitely be okay for the Wii. All I can say about the Hue part, is that according to some posts by users on the Logitech forum, this functionality should be available with the latest firmware ve…
-
Agreed. I too believe that one app should be able to cover all of them. It might even be that some of these models are exactly the same, hardware wise, and that the only difference is that they are delivered with the (at that time) latest version of…

Jon said: @Fire69 The hub that comes in the Smart Control package, is that the 'red' or the 'green' one in this comparing page: http://www.logitech.com/nl-nl/harmony-remotes/&view=498&compProducts=11688,10737 ? Oops... just r…

Fire69 said: It's very confusing. Where did you check? At Amazon.de the non-ultimate is cheaper. At .fr it's the other way around... Even at Amazon.de the ultimate version is cheaper: http://www.amazon.de/Logitech-Ultimate-Harmony-Hub-s…

Jon said: Okay, but how can you tell the difference then? How do you know it's the red one? Well, the red one is the one that's included with the Harmony Elite. At the time of release, the checkboxes in those columns (Home Automation,…

Jon said: Fire69 said: I bought the Smart Control at amazon.de for 65€. If you don't need an advanced remote, that's a real catch. Don't know if you can buy just the hub for that price! @Fire69 The hub that comes in the Smart …
