  • Would it also be possible to create and delete workflows via an app? This could be a really important feature. I have seen hundreds of examples of use cases. It is my understanding that a user would need to add them all by hand if the voice command…
  • Personally, I think z-wave has the best value by far. Fibaro has some beautiful products with a lot of functionality. It's not cheap, but each component has so many features. If you use it will, you get a lot of bang for you buck. The reliability …
  • This would be an instant sell to my girlfriend :-p Next thing would be keys, wallet, left shoe, toothbrush...
  • Hi Emile, I also upgraded later to the geek edition. Can I get an invite? pleeeaaase?
  • You guys are awesome! My next project will be an connected cookie jar.
  • In the past, I had a strong preference for native android apps over web based apps, but lately, I'm adding more and more shortcuts to web based apps to my phone and tablet. The web based apps are just as fast, just as easy and always up-to-date.
  • When in doubt: try tot use voice recognition on android (or any other mobile platform). It works pretty fast even on a 3g network. Another advantage of separating the voice recognition and logic is that neither party will have the full context. …
  • Top 10 best names for Homey now open for nominations: "Computer", "R2", "HAL", "Alfred", "I call upon power of the machine spirit" (somatic component required), ...
  • Wolfram Alfa! Really! That has such a huge potential. It fact that you guys are even trying it is groundbreaking.
  • Good tot know it is just me. Perhaps I should upgrade tot a more recent build on Android 5, of have a look at my background apps. Thanks for checking.
  • Isn't neeo the simpele version of Homey? Perhaps I'm a bit shortsighted, but I don't see additional benefits compared tot an app or homey. Which benefits do you guys expect?
  • I want to read the temperature sensor on my raspberry pi ever 15 seconds and tell me the beer is cold as soon as it reaches 4C.
  • I love the idea to enable/ disable scenes. Would it be possible to use switches for this? For example: when stuff and not away do things. Away is a (virtual) switch.
  • Will Homey allow us to add REST sensors? I noticed it can be surprisingly difficult to regularly poll an other REST api and keep track of one or more values returned in the response. A lot of devices have something like a REST-like interface. It wou…
  • A simple implementation could be a hardcoded value. A more elaborate implementation could determine the average based on past usage depending on the time of day, day of the week, month and outside weather. I think this is a fun little project for …
  • I noticed the answer was already given a few months back. Also, with access to javascript, nearly everything is possible. One just needs to read/write the data from/to google drive
  • Homey is just a remote, so I don't seen any problem with Homey being on Wifi. Smartphones also work fine with wifi right? and I control everything with a smartphone. There are a a lot of media players who do a poor job. My experience with steaming…
  • Does DSMR 5.0 smart meters contain a wireless signal for Homey to pick up?
  • Will Homey have persistent logging on sensors or activities? It might be nice to ask "Hey Homey, how much energy did I use today?" or "How much did it rain today?"
  • I would like if the homey led ring could show how much energy I'm using from a smart meter device. (above or below average). Having something in the house to make you aware of your energy use can save a lot.
  • Hi Emile, Very well chosen: Keeping the flow editor simple and intuitive while providing unlimited power though javascript. I'm going to have tons of fun with this!
  • Hi Emile, It makes sense that the driver takes care of the read/write capabilities and that it does not need to be distinctly specified in the definition of a device. I like Robin's Sleep timer suggestion. It would be nice to say "Hey Homey, I'm …
  • So, how powerful is the editor exactly? How complex can you make stuff and how easy is it to make complex stuff? Can you use variables or states? Can it do: If frontdoor.open then frontdoor_last_opened = now. If motion.detected and frontdoor_last_…
  • Hij Emile, Thank you for sharing thuis question with community. I enjoy reading the comments and I can't wait to see what the final product can do. Personally, I would like more distinction between setting or reading a value. Some switches are sen…
  • So, will all Homeys ship with the new chip or are you going to sell the compute module Homeys first?
  • Van homey push data (and configurationele settings) tot a cloud storage location?
  • I have nearly all lights converted KAKU. All main lights still have a wall switch using the AWMR series. Combine with some socket plugs andere you are in business. Just install one bebind the bedroom lights and place remote on the nightstand: insta…
  • Does anybody know if 868mhz devices are as easy tot talk to as 433 devices or do they have more complicated protocols? I'm particularly interested if my HeatLink will be of any use.
  • I'm a big HomeWizard fanboy myself. Although I think HomeWizard is a great product, it has it's shortcomings. HPM or scripts on a raspberry pi can enhance it a bit, but I believe Homey is the next level of home automation.
  • Klik-Aan-Klik-Uit remotes could to the job and they are cheap.
