The Bluetooth LE Apps API can be found on Trello (and can already be voted for). If they add a line for the IR improvements there as well, then people can vote on that as well... then it should be easy enough to see which one people are most anxious…

Lijkt me een foutje op die ene pagina, want op andere pagina's hebben ze de Homey info wel goed. Zie bijvoorbeeld: https://www.smartalarm.nl/over-smartalarm/alarminstallatie-draadloos/

Yeah, don't do the voice training. It won't help the voice recognition, and may actually deteriorate the "OK Homey" recognition. As for the rest... if I talk loud and slow, with clear space between words, Homey will correctly understand me most of t…

I seriously doubt that Athom have 2 years (or even a year) to stabilize their product. The home automation market is very much in motion right now, several companies are already developing similar products (though not yet as versatile in terms of su…

@KoenMartens Please re-read my posts, because it appears that you completely missed the point. I'm not complaining about my beta experience, I'm complaining about Athom's bad communication. And if "it hasn't crashed beyond repair" is you definitio…

@BasVanDenBosch Yes, I know that there are some Homeys that are working well (and at least as many that are not). If only part of the Homeys is functioning correctly, would you, as a company, then dare to say that "well over a thousand Homeys are …

@mylles thanks for sharing that mail. As you (might) know, well over a thousand Homeys are already shipped and working well. Working well? The software definitely isn't working well, and with eg the IR issue, there are serious doubts about the ha…

Yeah, I definitely hope the current Homey user base will also receive an email with a status update... we're the ones who decided to have faith in Athom and just go for it, knowing that Homey wasn't retail ready... I hope Athom can convince us that …

ah ok, that makes sense.

Just having the Viv speech processor in Homey would already be a huge improvement! (then again, apparently Google's speech recognition is even better than Siri's)

woei said: Btw, can we expect a software update anytime soon? If they're pinpointing a date for shipping the rest of the Homey pre-orders (the 'retail experience' batch), then there will have to be a software update first... the current…

Looks great! The sad thing is that you need that IR extender... Homey should have been able to handle the IR signals without the extender...
-
@phil_s well, I definitely hope it will not take 6 months, but 'just a few weeks' is definitely way too optimistic. Yes, Homey has huge potential, and given enough time, I'm sure it can turn into a great product. But given the large amount of issue…

Maybe they had some serious talks with their partners (the bank, MediaMarkt, etc) about how (bad, slow) things are going...

DJF3 said: Is there a webpage that lists all possible "out of the box" commands? Or even a discussion thread that is updated frequently? (maybe even including other languages) Yes, this here thread is the one for that purpose

My expectation: if they ship in May, it's definitely not going to be a "retail experience"... the current software status is still pretty far removed from that.

You're right, the alias list feature would benefit movie titles as well. And I definitely hope you will add music support. To me, music support is even more important than video support. The music apps that exist, are mainly focused on streaming mu…

I have a feature request: Would it be possible to offer some kind of 'alias' list? For example, I have albums from a band named "Gotthard" in my collection. But when I ask Homey to play Gotthard, it consistently hears "got hard"... I would love to b…
