  • Wimstradamus said: Got a dumb ceiling fan with lamp, and hooked up a Fibaro switch to the fan side and a Hue bulb for the light part. Works great. If you use the Fibaro double relay switch, you can still use your dumb wall switch to turn…
  • Hi @obeliks Great news! I'm sure this solution will be helpfull for a lot of people. Well done. Now to brainstorm about your glass (windows) half empty (covered) problem: I have 3 rollershutters linked and they all take different times to go up an…
  • @obeliks: Damn, I missed that one when I first read the documentation. Lowering the treshhold was mentioned earlier in this topic, but I missed that it could be turned off completely. I think 18 and 22 is exactly what you need. Let me know the resu…
  • @obeliks : Do you still have your light connected? Does the light turn on for 1 second? The behavior of the stop button is expected as it is the opposite of your last command. 
  • Ik weet niet of het nog steeds zo is, maar bij mij is het pairen ook een aantal keer mis gegaan. Om dit op te lossen heb ik de algemene module verwijdert en Homey opnieuw opgestart voor de zekerheid. 
  • Just bought my Homey over the weekend and so far I'm liking it. But for me to, the else helps but still many 'flows' consist of two flows. An enhancement where the 'then' en 'else' each could contain an IFTH would help keeping things clear. Visually…
  • In a nut shell: Homey is a cutting edge product and because of that, it is not for everyone. If you expect a finished product like Alexa which does a few polished tricks, you are going to be disappointed. It you want the most powerful home automatio…
  • obeliks said: Hello @JaapPelt , it took a while, but yesterday I gave it a try, but it did not work... I hoped the simple one (22,2,15) but that did not work with the bulb. The other one did not work either; the bulb is not turning on after B-…
  • Just out of curiosity: why would you choose the AN179 over a Fibaro device?
  • A hue lamp might give a more convincing effect. 
  • I have several KaKu devices and remotes thoughout the house and they work flawlessly for months now.   7 meters seems a very short range indeed. I would guess it is caused by a lot of noise in your area. Many users have much better range then 7 mete…
  • I have briefly discussed the integration of Samsung TVs with Athom in the early days and they confirmed that the API provided by Samsung is very limited. There is little different in using the API over infrared.  I use the better presence app in ad…
  • obeliks,  That is to be expected because the FGR-222 has not yet been calibrated.  My first though was that the lamp did not have enough power, so I looked up the minimal voltage. The online manual has the parameters for the minimal voltage and prog…
  • obeliks said: So @JaapPelt , I can get a Fibaro straight from the box, connect it like you said, and then? Then first add it to Homey and from there do the calibration by turning on the light? Or? @obeliks I think it is best to add it t…
  • I'm also looking into upgrading my thermostat for a new apartment. I'm leaning toward Nest or Honeywell both are excellent independent thermostats. I like Toon well, but the subscription needed for all the features is a show stopper. Nest has the a…
  • glijie said: @Amelsfort   here an example how you can do this in one flow: Nope is not working   need indeed minimal 2 flows The optimum for Homey to aim for is not to have everything in one flow, but to group logic in a way so it is …
  • An relatively easy solution is to "fake" the calibration. It's a bit of work, but it works like a charm. Hook the FGR-222 up the power, but instead of connecting the blinds, connect a light bulb and a manual switch. What you are going to do is mimi…
  • melvin86k said: hi , Just received my homey Yesterday . Having mixed feeling about this device . ... First of all: Welcome! Nice summary. I hope this helps other people in making their choice as well. It is my personal experience t…
  • I think I'm in love... 
  • nklerk said: I'm using homey for controlling my smart mirror  Which software do you run on your smart mirror? How do you push data to it?
  • No experience, but there are raspberry pi projects online with these kind of touchscreens. I have no clue on the quality, looks and driver support. Although it is not as powerful, gesture control might be easier cheaper and more intuitive.(not to me…
  • jorden said: @nklerk also wondering about this. I have a 24" monitor lying around that I don't use and I love this futuristic idea. Did you finish yours, are you happy, do you miss anything, would you do it again? Would it work with the foil o…
  • Bumblez said: It's kind of sad that you still need so many other Home Automation devices/hubs to get an environment where Homey is useful. Wasn't Homey supposed to be the one go-to device for all connectivity? Mission failed, I guess... …
  • OetAelse said: Thanks all for your replies! Don't forget that flows can trigger flows, that there are multiple ways to use timers or countdowns and that you van use variabels/states. With this, you can do EVERYTHING! - For loops, - While…
  • Daar ben ik inderdaad begonnen. Ik heb een aantal relatief goedkope speakertjes bekeken en de gene genomen waarvan ik hoopte dat die een half redelijk geluid zou produceren. Ik weet niet hoe de media markt bij jou in de buurt is, maar hier vertelt d…
  • Is het niet handig oom ook de IKEA hub te ondersteunen? http://m.ikea.com/be/nl/catalog/products/art/80338960/
  • I would really like to have something like an official wiki where a decent amount of tutorials and documentation would be made available.  With every new project, I have trouble getting started, but once I'm setup and got my feet wet, I can ditch t…
  • Everything still seems to work fine here. Is there a change log for r8 to r9 so I can test some specific things?
  • Hedzer said: backslash said: Yellow said: 4 flows related to pausing my Sonos when I speak to Homey. (Homey is in the same room next to my main Sonos). I trigger the "sonos speelt" (Sonos is playing) when I start Sonos with Ho…
  • You don't need to worry about memory. Homey handles it just fine. It will free up space when it needs to.
