This is some next level stuff. For now, I would say you need to write an app for that to do it right. If you want to do it with flows, I would recommend set the worst case time and use 15 minute blocks to increase it to the actual time based on opt…

Better logic has some JavaScript-like scripting which you might use. I agree with you that picking out parts of a sentence and interpreting it is not very straightforward. The potential is there, but it is difficult to offer it in a consumer friend…

Although I understand the decision, I will miss tuning in every Friday. Instead of skipping the post, perhaps it might be fun to go a bit into depth on some existing functionality. Looking back at the last previous posts, the content is a bit scarc…

Matthias said: ... So my question: Would you buy homey again? That is actually a very good question! The answer will differ from person to person due to different reasons. I for one would answer it with a sounding YES. Here is w…

I'm not an expert, but what I commonly read is that it is not efficient to turn off floor heating (except for an extended vacation). I have floor heating myself with a high and low mode (21 and 17 degrees). Low mode should be used for at least 4 h…

Accurate presence detection is one of the major challenges for smart homes. There are so many real-life factors which can influence or alter accurate presence detection that the best way to approach it is by using multiple techniques. With some cl…

I can highly recommend using a motion sensor to detect when someone comes home. My phone sometimes disconnects from the wireless and with that give a false home coming event. Generally, it is a good practice to use a variable to keep track of state…

It is sometimes tricky to find the right speech command for a device. Check out https://.homey.athom.com/manager/speech-input to see if Homey understood you correctly or type a command directly.

I have both an Homey and a lot of Hue lights (although a few less then you). The main benefits of adding a Homey are for me: * More choice of sensors (not vendor locked) * More powerful logic * Some fun gadget-like features such as voice control. …

Very interesting discussion. So is I understand correctly, you can configure the fibaro dimmer to work with a pulse switch? Short press: toggle light on/off Long press: dim lights (somehow) The Fibaro guys really make some great stuff. Almost as g…

Thanks for the tip. I was thinking along those lines as well. I have some options to add a wall switch in between as well. I'll check the manual as suggested. Thanks!

So, How do I specify phonetic speech? I'd like Homey to properly pronounce my name.

Congratulations to Athom and many many thanks to all the community members who have made Homey a wonderful experience so far. When I backed the Kickstarter, I could not have imagined that it would become such a wonderful product. I truly love it. …

I think it is just the right time for Homey. Home automation has never been more popular. Philips Hue was the first step. Smarthings never got off the ground in Europe and now Amazon and Google have pretty good devices on the market. Even Apple deve…

Gefeliciteerd Athom! Weer een belangrijke milestone bereikt en dat mag gevierd worden.

Before the big update of 433mhz, KaKu worked great, so it must be a software issue. I'm sure the Homey guys are working overtime to get it fixed.

I'm playing with the idea to add a counter for the remaining vacation days rather then just using the weekday vs weekend to determine when it is time to wake up. This was, you can set the number of vacation days to 3 or 4 when you gave a long weeke…

My rollershutters were unresponsive yesterday. Things worked again after a reboot. It seems to be a rare issue. The issue looked similar to 1030, so I added it as a comment. Anyone else experienced a similar issue?

The new app store looks really nice! I hope development will continue so it will evolve even more over time. Something I would like to have as an end-goal would be to zoom in on a device level to see which funtionality is supported per device. …

0.10.9 now supports triggering a flow directly from another flow: https://forum.athom.com/discussion/2187/homey-v0-10-9 As described in the post, I still use variables to keep track of the "state" of my house as it would allow me to use the variabl…

I really like the new trigger flow from another flow card. The tooltip makes is very easy to use. Recently, I created a sequence of events using a variable to trigger the various "stages". Using seperate stages made it easier to finetune the timing.…

I would very much like to have an alarm function which can be set via the app. Smart alarm functionality would be a basic starting point for many users. Calender events as intuitive and powerful as an actual alarm app which can trigger Homey. Requ…

Thanks for the tip! KaKu is perhaps not 100% reliable, but it is relatively cheap and it works good enough. With this tip, KaKu devices and the Homey platform become more flexible and more powerful. I will begin adding this pattern for all my KaKu…

@caseda thanks for the advice. It it wasn't for you, I would not get far. I removed the device via settings -> zwave > remove node (like I did before). In addition, I reset the device itself to factory defaults. I also added the device to a d…
