  • @caseda   I never said it was easy. But in all advertisements for Homey, voice recognition is the first feature they promote, so it should be somewhere at the top of their priority list. Apparently companies like Google, Amazon and Apple can get a l…
  • It would already help a lot if Athom were honest about what we can and cannot expect...
  • Am I the only one who was disappointed by this week's Software Update? What's next on our roadmap? In no particular order, this what we'll be working on next: * Insights v2 + Insights Reports * Bluetooth Audio speaker support * Smartphone App impr…
  • @Eternity Did you already try PTP (unplug your Homey, keep it powered off for a minute or so, then restart it) ? That may just solve the problem with re-installing...
  • +1 for implementing a different speech recognition (preferably Google Assistant). I don't think Homey's own recognition will ever be at that level, so I say: "if you can't beat 'em, join 'em" !
  • - Remove hub as device - uninstall the app - PTP - install the app - add the hub - repaired my flows Yeah, I have noticed that this procedure (including the PTP) is now necessary for me after every Harmony app update. I don't know what has changed…
  • Well, they're still on schedule for a release this year...
  • JohanKuster said: so where is the....? The long-awaited Media update has taken a lot longer than we had hoped, but we're still on schedule to release it to the experimental channel in January. Not here yet. I expect today's news update…
  • German language support is apparently the next priority. That has been announced approx. a year ago, and will apparently be implemented in the first half of 2017. So I'd say that French language support would be done in the second half of 2017 at th…

  • Not necessarily a contradition. Again, as caseda said earlier: "1 guy that is working on the front-end GUI and that is not the only thing he is working on." You're right in so far, that, I don't know what role he plays in the fixing of Z-Wave, Inf…
  • It's not a matter of the developer being "too lazy"... it's a matter of priorities, as previously indicated by (eg) caseda! Let me make a very simple comparison case: If you would put this to vote: - Let Athom spend time on fixing Z-Wave, Infrared…
  • The first step to that update is upgrading your Shield to firmware v5.0 / Android 7.0 - that update should be available soon...
  • Is that Philips onboard 'chromecast' even a full featured Chromecast? Or is it just a 'Miracast' implementation? In my experience, Miracast will work for YouTube, and for simple things like casting photos from your smartphone to your TV, but for ver…
  • The Shield only listens when you hit a button on the remote control or controller.
  • good point, I completely forgot about the "ok homey" requirement there... okay, forget my previous post, that won't work. So I guess you'll just have to train the people in your household to respond with a clear "yes" when Homey asks them. Otherwis…
  • Nope, doesn't work for me. My Homey responds to "OK Homey", "OK Homo", "OK Honey", but not all the other variants.
  • Well, actually, even the 'any answer' would be possible... 1. If presence score < 1 and the variable NoOneHome = 0 , then set "NoOneHome = 1", start a timer and say "Anybody home?" 2. If user says anything, and "NoOneHome = 1", then set the vari…
  • How about: - If presence score < 1, then set a variable "NoOneHome = 1", start a timer and ask a question - If any answer, then set the variable NoOneHome = 0, and start flow A - If the timer reacher 0, and NoOneHome is still 1, then start flow B…
  • I'm using Sjoprz myself... quite similar, but specifically targeted at the Netherlands, and with some extra features (such as, it knows what's on discount in your favorite supermarkets). And yeah, I'd love to see this supported by Homey.
  • Robs said: Hello Marco, I have an wifi electronic relayboard and i am interested in your app. Is it possible that i can download your app. Marco returned his Homey sometime last year, got a refund, and hasn't been seen on this forum …
  • alexM said: Even if homey does recognise my keyword, I already use short triggers like : lights on , light off , coffee on etc...It doesn't do the job , even if the light gives the idea it does ... There are several threads on this forum…
  • That depends on how much it would cost... apparently they have special prices/conditions for "embedded devices (e.g., cars, TVs, appliances, or speakers)", as they ask developers of those to contact them directly. So if for Homey, for example, the c…
  • I don't think the (hardware) quality of the microphones is the major issue here... I believe it's all in the software (translating the sound sample from the microphone into a text). So why don't they just take a license of Google's software algorith…
  • Kind of sad that we have to resort to workarounds like these to get Homey to recognize our spoken sentences. And that even though the website still claims: "These two state-of-the-art microphones enable Homey to listen to your voice, crisp and clea…
  • I too would be interested in using something like the Nvidia Spot (running Google Assistant on my Nvidia Shield, if possible with a link to Homey), but then, I do feel it's kind of sad that we have to resort to this kind of options instead of receiv…
  • @Eternity sorry, I wasn't referring to that flow... I was referring to the first half of your email, on how to get the app working again  (I tried exactly the same steps, without the PTP, and that didn't solve the problem...).
  • @Eternity thanks... I'll give that a try one of these days (as soon as I have a bit of time on my hands).
  • For me, this app has been working well for a long time... up until ~4 days ago. I got a message that the app had been automatically been updated to 1.0.0, and ever since then, the app doesn't work anymore. I deleted my device, uninstalled the app, r…
  • How about one of these?  https://thelightbug.com/ Apparently it has IFTTT integration, so the link to Homey should be easy (though timing may be an issue, given IFTTT's response time...)
  • Fire69 said: Nope. Speech-input shows you what Homey heard (and you can enter commands by text). Speech-output shows you what Homey said himself Sorry, my bad... you're right. I was mixing up a few things there.
