  • JurgenHuijbregts said: Cool i really would like X10 working Mee too..
  • I completely agree that there is a need for better IR support, and the silence from Athom is puzzling, Sure, IR is an old technology, but since IR is still the most used technology for controlling TV's, airco's, fireplaces and a whole range of othe…

  • https://forum.athom.com/discussion/comment/13364/#Comment_13364 At this point, there is no end user\consumer view as he is a beta-tester. That is the state of the software, it is not enduser\consumr ready. And sure, even as a beta-tester you can ge…
  • @Vincent  Glad to be of service..  
  • @MarcoF  Good to see you haven't lost your sense of humour..   I do respect your decision and really hope we will see you again in the future.
  • @MarcoF  Sorry to hear that, Marco. I know Vera has its fair share of problems too, and you've been interested in Homey for a reason. I sincerely hope you will reconsider.
  • I am SO glad an experienced developer is chiming in on this! Thanks @EvertorN ,  I couldn't agree with you more!!
  • Other ways to "enhance" your Homey..  (http://www.franticstamper.com/EK-Success-Jolees-boutique--Dimensional-Stickers--Spooky-Eyes_p_78443.html) Maybe we should start a Pimp My Homey thread..
  • Emile said: The update will be available Monday (tomorrow) if all our tests pass. Yes we do run tests It's just a tradeoff between shipping fast and testing throughly, and during this period our focus is more on shipping updates faster.  …
  • Excellent story! Good to see what works and what needs improvement. And cool video.. Thanks for sharing!
  • Good to see this product in high demand!! I would like to suggest to Athom however that they communicate it being only half a centimeter in diameter, that the ledring can only display one color, NFC is unlocked only after paying an additional 3 eur…

  • My remark about backers and pre-orderers being the same pertains to that they both knew (or could have known) what they were getting into. I myself am a pre-orderer because I only read about Homey after the Kickstarter was closed. But even then I re…
  • PeterGroeneweg said: I'm building my own website to control and read out Homey. Because I make it myself, I think it's pretty nice and user friendly  Good idea Peter. That's probably what I'll be doing too. Any screenshots you care to s…
  • +2 A price between 5 - 7.5 euros would be OK, shipping excluded. Not going to pay more than 10 euros for a keychain, even if it includes NFC. For more than 10 euros it would need to have NFC, Bluetooth, a mike so i can send instructions to Homey, a…

  • @Athom : Thanks for the excellent update. Along with others here, I am very glad that the suggestion here on this forum by @honey ;to offer backers and pre-orderers a choice in receiving Homey earlier was picked up by you guys. @All Good to see the…
  • Fire69 said: It's just a render. Nothing looks like that in real life  Haha.. Yes, ofcourse it is..!  Too bad though..
  • honey said: The original concept was this. It was called Acedia before Homey: Seems like this two shapes covers the whole industry. I would also go with matt black. The LED ring would be a statement. AV units are black, it would blend in nice…
  • D said: If you've clicked +1 the blue box gets an inside shadow. So it is actually visible, but barely.   Oh yes! You are right.. It wouldn't hurt for it to be a bit more visible though..
  • Keep in mind the last 3 months would arguably have been the most taxing period for Athom. They have gone from hard- and software development with setbacks and all to, for the very first time, actually delivering a product to Backers. No mean feat an…
  • kriebelkous said: Very true.. and nothing wrong with (a little or a lot of) rain. It helps things grow. But when the rain becomes acidic (and i'm not implying that your post is!) it becomes poison. You either take shelter or (try to…
  • tunf said: With all the discussion of shipment, i did not share my wish. I think i want a homey light in every room; a celeing unit with all that homey can, combined with led lightning and a smoke detector (module) so yes ALL the homey's This wa…
  • I completely agree with @JanH 's post regarding the people that only complain and whine (yes, some people do whine!) and tell Athom what to do. What are you contributing exactly? In what way are you helping Homeys development and progress? How is yo…
  • Emile said: Let me clear it up for you guys: * Recorded speech from Homey's microphones goes to stt.athom.com, which forwards it so a few 3rd party speech processors. We compare the results for accuracy & speed, and return the best to Home…
  • @Schippelkopf : I wouldn't call it unprofessional, that's is far too harsh IMO. Inexperienced maybe, and I really think they are putting all their time\effort in making the product better at the moment. That comes with being a startup and them devel…
  • I pre-ordered (and later upgraded to GE) because ordering a Kickstart GE simply wasn't available anymore. That does not mean I would not like to be involved in helping iron out the bugs. Coming from an X10 setup which only functioned half the time…
