  • Problem is, when Homey is in the middle of processing a different flow, he will not listen to "OK Homey, shut up" (or any other voice input, for that matter). But this should always work: http://{your-homey-ip}/manager/speech-input/ "stop"
  • Are you sure? Like I said, for me sometimes Homey runs on time for a while, sometimes it doesn't. And I don't see anything about this in the release notes, so it's hard to say if it just runs on time by accident again, or if they actually fixed anyt…
  • Jeroen has a very good point... for the wife to accept Homey, the things that she learns not only have to be simple, but above all they have to work! So don't even try to introduce her to things that may not work half the time, or functionality that…
  • DenW said: Checkboxes will provide OR functionality (if day = "monday" OR day="friday"..) within this flowcard and is therefor not exactly pointless. What I meant is, it's pointless to have the possibility to set multiple days in the chec…
  • @MHubert    thanks, I didn't know about those. I'll look into it! @JPe thanks, but Homey isn't one of the devices that I need this for (that's why I posted this in the off-topic section). I currently have no plans to change anything in the power su…
  • As parody already remarked, I think this I directly tied to the fact that we don't have OR functionality in flows. Once we have OR, this kind of functionality will be peanuts to add. As long as we don't have it, multi-select on checkboxes is also po…
  • JeroenVollenbrock looked into it, but was never quite able to fix it. Every time I power off my Homey and power it on again, it's a surprise if the date and time on my Homey will be on time, or way, way off. Right now it's …
  • @Mathijs   "broken promise" is a very heavy term. I don't know the exact wording of what Annemarie said to you. But do note that there is a big difference between "I expect the package to be delivered on Friday or Saturday" and "I promise you that t…
  • Ah, that makes sense. Thanks. I still assume it was supposed to be a "get" outside temperature, instead of "set" though... or should ThermoSmart be able to SET the value of that sensor?
  • backslash said: According to the app description in the app store, the app should be able to: Set the target temperature Get the room temperature Set the outdoor temperature Pause/Unpause the thermostat I am able to set and get the tar…
  • *sigh* with that reply, you leave me no choice but to comment on this. Erwin1 said: The only thing I said was that it would be a cool feature and that IF it where possible (and that can ONLY be judged by Athom themselves, hence why I …
  • @Erwin1 if you don't care about other people's opinions (or even, as it seems, in other people providing background information on why something will not be happen), then you should not participate in a discussion on a public forum, but should inste…
  • Not expecting another software update anytime soon But I am looking forward to the "software status" update today. I hope @Emile will go a bit into detail on exactly what went wrong with 0.10.0, and with their own internal test procedures (given th…
  • @superice - to be clear, I was talking about having to repeat the learning steps a couple of times, to get Harmony to learn the IR buttons correctly. Once they have been learned, triggering the assigned function once will also trigger the IR signal.
  • Julian said: I think Harmony also has the ability to learn IR-commands which it does not know, similar as Homey. Confirmed. Harmony can learn IR signals from devices it doesn't know... the remote has learning functionality built in...…
  • @Erwin1 You apparently haven't been around long enough to experience the earlier days, but there should be plenty of posts with complaints by people who did the voice training and then found out that Homey didn't respond to their voice at all!  The…
  • olive said: I want this feature soooooooo much!!! How much are you willing to pay for it? For the reasons mentioned by @Fire69 and @BasVanDenBosch , it will cost both a lot of money, and a lot of time to make it possible for Homey to t…
  • I think the only measure of 'customization' that we can expect, is that you can also address your Homey with "ok honey"... mine will listen to that just fine  
  • DaneeDeKruyff said: To show he cares for his customers? Damage control? Change public opinion on how Athom is percieved? Need more hints? I think he's already doing all that, by working as hard as he can to fix the issues that were found…
  • BartOtten said: If Emile writes that we can expect "not everything 100% working" is kinda implies that at least 80% does. Do note that, even if on average 80% works, this could very well mean that for some people 100% works, for some peop…
  • TheoDeKoning said: Third, if no one want to be on the experimental channel, Athom have to test everything themselves. How many time would that be cost?     Right. And as the past couple of weeks have shown us, Athom's own testing ap…
  • TheoDeKoning said: If people want to help Athom then Athom have to help them by giving a change to go back in version where they came from after that help. Including the app's for that version. First, it doesn't help Athom if people…
  • Well, Emile DID warn us. He clearly said: ...so much has changed. So it probably wont be 100% bugfree, but with the work we did, we can fix those bugs much faster, so everything will eventually be alright :-) So yeah, with such a big update,…
  • rdomingo said: [1]: It seems you can't use any more complex logic like if (switch is set to on OR mic hears text) and (windows are closed) then close the rolling shutter [2]: When homey  is busy for example playing music or reading the news I …
  • My recommendation: wait a few days until you do a more detailed review of Homey's possibilities. If all goes well, we're expecting a big firmware update before the end of this week...
  • I think he's referring to the deadline Emile mentions in his own post: "Ouch! We didn't make our own deadline to ship Homey 0.10 this week."
  • The Kickstarter project had 996 backers, and then there have been regular pre-orders, so I'd say it's definitely more than a 1000.
  • Ik kan me voorstellen dat de gemiddelde gebruiker hier er niet echt op zit te springen om een wildvreemde in zijn huis toe te laten en hem te laten zien wat hij allemaal voor electronica heeft en hoe dat allemaal aan elkaar gekoppeld is... Maar wat…
  • viktor said: Maybe tomorrow, saturday update? Regardless of how well they tested this internally, if I were Athom, I wouldn't roll out such a big update at a time when most of the engineers have their weekend off... so I'm expecting it o…
  • It probably takes this long because they are actually TESTING (and fixing) their changes this time around... which, in my opinion, is definitely not a bad thing. I'd rather wait another week to get a stable and useable release, than get it now and r…
