Pulsar said: I just realized we will probably get our homey (depending on when we ordered) like a week before they appear on the store shelves. I feel like that's "unfair" after all the waiting we went through to get an exclusive device (no tim…

Sounds like something that should be possible, in the flow editor... but you will most likely have to set it up yourself. So don't expect this to work straight out of the box when your Homey arrives.
-
You will not want to fully replace the Harmony remote with the Homey (changing the volume or browsing the channels by voice would be way too slow), but Homey should definitely be able (with the right app) to start up the Activities in your Harmony h…

- Voice control. I've seen quite a few hit-and-miss videos, or videos where the person speaking to Homey was basically next to it. I'd love to see a video with Homey responding to a variety of voice commands given from different places around the ro…

Fire69 said: The thing you are forgetting here is that kickstarter backers (like myself) where 'expecting' a delivery in April or May 2015. So I can understand the complaining a little bit (although I'm not complaining here, just making a poi…

Emile said: @Bumblez I haven't really personally used IFTTT. Everything they can do that I want, Homey can do as well That's both good to know, and a bit scary. While it's good to know that Homey's flow editor has its own version of t…

theohesse said: "Homey does not only speak with you, but also with all your (wireless) devices. Those of 10 years ago, your newest ones, and the ones you buy in the next few years." This statement is still true. The Homey hardware can s…

RobValk said: Good topic. It's mostly seems there are only complaints everywhere, but in reality I think the majority is eagerly and patiently awaiting (news about) their homey. But that's not something to make a topic or post about Keep the…

Oy1974 said: I always gonna be using my remote (harmony) or other brand. The only thing i want to know. Why you switch the tv for examble on with the homey and after that you cant use your remote (harmony) it just dont make sense to me. Guess…

theohesse said: @Bumblez: You can just google about IFTTT and you will see that people came to the conclusion that it is a great idea and a nice thing to play around with but it is just not stable or quick enough for certain use cases (like AV …

Emile said: That's not true. I said that voice control isn't suites for browsing channels (zapping). I use Homey definitely to turn on my TV, put on the news automatically at eight, switch to my Xbox hdmi input etc. And from what I ca…

@MarcoF A domotica controller... well, I'm not sure I would call it that. I have a Harmony hub for my (mostly) audio/video components (and a few other things), a Raspberry Pi that is able to control some other stuff, and a couple of separate Androi…
-
Note that both Homey and Harmony support IFTTT. So even without a dedicated Harmony app, there should already be quite a lot you can do... although you need to create activities in the Harmony hub for all of it. Then the flow that Fire69 describes a…

I think what a lot of people here are suffering from, is the "almost there" syndrome. The maker of the product sets an expected delivery date, and people have no problem at all waiting (even years) for that date to come. But once the date has arrive…

This may also be of interest: http://co.uk.webdisclosure.com/finance/stocks/qube/news/468223.html Reading that, it looks fairly legit...

Wow Jasper, that looks awesome! Once you're ready for taking orders, let us know!

ericjanvanputten said: no sorry, i wrote aboute something about NEEO (see last comment there) but wasnt sure if it was true or something so tried to delete my comment but dont know how... Yeah, as far as I can tell, the comment yo…

MarcoF said: I'm not whining about the delay, i'm a bit disappointed in the communication. If the don't know when it will be delivered, don't sell pre-order with the promise to deliver on month X in year X. And about; Just deliver it as is. "H…

Well, you said "but would an App for Android TV be a better idea?", which more or less suggests that you would want to replace the existing Trello cards with one for Android TV. And that would definitely NOT be a good idea. So... support for Androi…
-
Not all Smart TVs support Android TV. LG, for example, has its own WebOS, Samsung has its own Smart TV (and apparently a horrible API; see also the Public Timeline topic ( https://forum.athom.com/discussion/488/athoms-public-timeline-for-homey ) ). …

DieterKoblenz said: It was probably on here before, but what TTS engine will you use for Homey? Back in May, Emile said it was Ivona (ivona.com). Don't know if they've managed to switch to a better one by now...

honey said: Then you have to wait a few more months. How many? 2 months or 22 months? You dont know without a development roadmap. As I said, I don't think that option would work, and at the stage we are at now, I d…

Athomey said: As far as hardware, yes. But also software and perception/ux is a relatively big risk. Software not working properly is manageable for 50 clients. Not for 500. Especially if the waiting for a solution takes weeks, or months. …

ReneBoeije said: It is a matter of numbers. 40 next week or so is managable. Even if mass production is ready/on stock, hold them based on feedback, ship next 100-500 or so, at leest the geeks and a couple of 'standard' backers, if that is sound …

RobinVanKekem said: Maybe I didn't get it but are variables reachable across different flows? Yes, that's what he said. Flow 1 can set a variable, flow 2 can check on it (see also the OP).
-
@Fire69 Okay, that would make sense.
-
ReneBoeije said: As Emile stated before, ther is no launch date... Homey is available when hardware is ready. And to emphasize what I initially wrote, it is not a good idea to ship Homey at the speed it can be produced. Backers, yes, pre-orders, …
-
Well, if you want to keep it fairly cheap, you could make a Webcam + OpenCV combo, and hook that up to a Raspberry Pi, and connect the Pi to z-wave to send a signal. It probably wouldn't be very fast due to the computational power needed, but it's …
-
I agree with Robin. Issues come up and priorities can change all the time, and it's a pain in the ass if you have a roadmap that you either are forced to stick to so you can't address those issues/priorities, or that you have to update all the time,…
