  • If you follow Rododamelshe's example, using the "contains" (bevat) triggers, where you scan for specific words in the sentence (ie multiple "contains" fields, each with 1 word), then you can indeed say variations of the sentence... as long as those …
  • @B3rt  exactly as in @Rocodamelshe 's example.
  • I think @Fire69 meant to post  http:///manager/speech-output speech-input allows you to type in text that you send to Homey, speech-output will give you an overview of what Homey heard. Also: it is recommended to make complete sentences (such as t…
  • - With regard to "would you buy Homey again"... see also this thread. - German language - no official word yet when this will become available, so it may take a while... I hope you're comfortable with using english instead. - everything else: I h…
  • Well, Athom *did* send out a newsletter today ("Volledige Chromecast Support en HEOS bediening!")... that also counts as communication, right?
  • Given that Homey was developed in the Netherlands, and a large amount of the people using it are in the Netherlands, it's no surprise that there are also a number of Dutch apps developed. But Homey's hardware is quite universal, and there are also s…
  • I'm not expecting them to communicate every minute (and I don't think anyone in this thread ever said they did)... all I'm asking is that they communicate with us once a week. See also my first posts on the previous page (here and here) for what I *…
  • @Martijn you have to be kidding. You really compare the communication needs for the company behind a generic retail product with those of a startup company that was funded by the money from most of us, and that still has a long way to go before thei…
  • As a company, communication with your customers is essential and should always be at the forefront of priorities (and no, I don't mean communicating with each customer individually or answering every single question). This includes the kind of info …
  • Let's try and put a more positive spin to this thread.... here's a recommendation: If @Emile feels that software updates every week would be less interesting (if he feels that on that point he doesn't have enough to tell people), then maybe he can d…
  • chrisboer said: I don't know the current status of your github project are you currently awaiting approval from Athom for a new version ? The current status is, that there are some known problems with the app, but @MikeOne is very busy in …
  • Come to think of it... from what I understand of the system, if you have a standard double curtain and you manually open 1 curtain, the other one will automatically move along (open) as well. So you will no longer be able to (manually) open or close…
  • "Hey Homey, will you marry me?"  
  • I agree with the OP. Personally, I can wait for certain fixes or features, but communication is key here. Yes, it would be good if Emile took the time, once a week, to not only inform us of the status of upcoming new features, but also of the state …
  • jorden said: What I am wondering about, however, is... My curtains consist of a single part, so one side is fixed (the side I will hide Slide behind), the other side moves. I think I understand how Slide opens the curtain (just pull the wire cl…
  • Well, I guess that's one downside of a fairly small startup... they don't have the manpower to work on fixes for all the issues at once. Athom chooses the priorities for the issues they work on, and everything else will have to work (weeks, or even …
  • Just saw this topic. I also backed for 5 units. And it's great that Thijs is in here answering questions. I have a question too: Thijs_IIM said: - The wire is thin but strong, it's a polyethylene wire with a straight pull capacity of 22kg. By…
  • I think Pils's first line sums it up nicely: "To buy or not to buy depends on your expectations" If you're expecting a device that, as is, will work perfectly for all the different situations that you want to use it for, then Homey is not (yet) tha…
  • Ah cool, you've got one too and are already looking at the options.  By the way, did you see their FAQ section? It may also answer your questions about the voice control... 01 - How do I pair the 600750 lamp to my device?      Not necessary, once…
  • De Homey hardware op zich doet precies wat het zou moeten doen. Jammer genoeg kan datzelfde nog niet gezegd worden over alle apps, want veel daarvan zijn nog in ontwikkeling. Dus ja, als je vandaag een 100% werkend apparaat verwacht, dan zul je tele…
  • ArenBreur said: When I send more then two actions to the hub in 1 flow, it crashes. When I want to turn the sound up, I send 5 times the button. but even with the third and fourth with a 1 second delay and the fifth with a 2 second delay the ap…
  • Browsers are the thing of 2016-2017 and especially for MM pieple (like me, my girlfriend, parents, neighbors).  Do keep in mind that in case of Homey, the app is basically intended for Homey setup and administration, not for Homey everyday …
  • When someone makes an app for it? That someone could also be you... But the good news is: our Homey roadmap is as follows: * Homey v1.1.0 - Music + Speakers (Bluetooth, Wi-Fi)
  • MrDutchfighter said: I just realy don't get the move towards an app. What's in it for them? They have to double development (for Mac OS, Windows, Linux, Chrome OS etc.). Instead of just developing one web application. Or am I forgetting some ma…
  • Bumble said: It's one hour off. And I don't plan of re-making all of the flows that need the time... In that case, it most likely *is* the timezone issue that @BasVanDenBosch mentioned. So that's the good news...
  • Yeah, in my case, it appears to have been going right 'by accident' for a while. The issue definitely isn't fixed. Right now (21 November 2016, 18:35 CET), the time that my own Homey displays, is: date    2016-07-05T21:04:39.788Z date_human    Tuesd…
  • Exactly what do you mean with 'wrong time'? Is it an exact number of hours off (timezone issue), or is it a completely other time, possibly a completely other date as well? (see also the second thread that MrDutchFighter linked). In the latter case…
  • Yeah, I have the same problem. Can't play anything at the moment... exact same 'length' undefined error.
  • @michael89 Let's assume you have your Plex Media Server set up on the default plex port 32400, and the IP address of your plex media server is 192.168.1.10. Then browse to http://192.168.1.10:32400/web/index.html That's where you will find the Sett…
  • I think it also depends on your own pronunciation. I've had it on English from the start (never used Dutch, so can't compare), and haven't had any problems with recognition. If your English is good, give it a try. If your English pronunciation is no…
