Echo is already available for some time, but it appears very limited to me. The things it can do work very well, but the limitation of the platform makes is far less suitable for the non-US market.

I'm also interested in a control panel app for a tablet. Hopefully the Homey app will move into a direction like this in the future... *hint *hint.

Big thanks to all people who are creating apps, or who are supporting via the forum. I wanted to create some apps myself, but it has been so busy that I didn't have the energy to pick it up. A wiki with some tutorials might be nice to help others g…

@batteries4ever : Excellent suggestion. I tried to configure it, but Emile told me math on variables is not yet supported until 0.8.19. Also, I noticed that a KaKu remote triggered the flow twice. The "variable changed" flow is however only trigger…

@Phuturist I'm also having some trouble with this. Haven't had the time to find the case. I have done some tests with triggers on changing variables andere it works fine. Perhaps Homey prevents changing a variabele which is also A trigger to pre…

I think they're doing a fine job. There will always be things to improve. I don't know of any company who is more active in communication then Athom. Also, I can confirm that I experience only minor issues (mostly UI related). All my existing dev…

I'm sure Athom van manage these kind of things on their own. Of they do look back, I hope they do so with pride of what they have achieved. Few people get to start a company and realize their dream.
-
I'm sure they have their reasons. I work in a similar area and whatever we do, someone is not happy. Be aware that it is a balance between time and money. I have the impression Athom is currently working very hard on stability and extrending basi…

Nice to read you are enjoying your Homey. I'm having a lot of fun myself. Apps will improve over time. Some documentation on some of the apps might be nice. My Buienradar app was quiet for days. Then all of a sudden, it told me it stopped raining.…

If this is the only hardware issue Homey has, i'll take it! After having a good laugh, I bended the cable once firmly and the issue was solved. Note that the length and the thickness of the cable are above average. Definitely not a cheap cable. …

The current way flows are setup has advantages and disadvantages. The main advantage is that it is very easy for new users to manage flows. The main disadvantage is that for the more experienced users, the number of flows become difficult to manage.…

superice said: Right, thanks for your input. I am going to think about some kind of interface to make this all easier, but I'm not sure if that's going to be in the next update already. Where you report the bugs doesn't really matter to me; I have…

superice said: Thank you for using the time to write out your thought on this. The way I see it, most of these issues are resolved when we introduce the widgets for triggering flows. That way, you can create a flow that turns your lights on or of…

Reflow said: Perhaps it's better to close this topic, the topic started has made his point(which is his right to do so) and if we do or don't agree that doesn't matter. Everyone knows that a startup like Homey can have a hard time but this comp…

If you send me one, I'll make the app for you

I'm having tons of fun with my Homey. Best investment ever

I can recommend everyone to add a parrot flow which repeats whatever you have said. Is give you a good understanding of how accurate Homey is. Or course this doesn't help with you can't activate Homey with the OK Homey. As I stated in other topic…

What's your overall experience of Fibaro sensors with Homey so far? I'm considering upgrading some of my KaKu sensors to something better now that I have a Homey.
-
I don't have any KAKUs with code wheels myself, but could you let Homey learn the code from a remote?
-
My personal recommendation: Create "triggering" flows and "executing" flows. Basic example: I want to turn on several lights to create a nice scene in the living room. I want the scene to be set when I come home after dark, when I press a switch, o…

superice said: Holy crap. That doesn't happen to me or my collegues at all That's insane! I'll see what I can do, I totally agree this is unworkable. phones... Very odd. It isn't that bad. I'm just one personen als my battery still last…

I have two lights called "Main" and I cannot distinguish them in the flow editor. I used the "test" option to ensure I had picked the right one. Other then that, all the switches work just fine. Controlling the brightness of dimmers via the websit…

I have been sitting next to Homey sinds 17:00 and only opened the app two or three times. The battery consumption is a bit worrying. I do have other geolocation domotica apps running but they use far less power.
-
"Hey Homey" works very well for me. If you have a red ring, Homey has crashed and you should reset.
-
It is just me or does Homey respond better to "Hey Homey" instead of "OK homey"?
-
Perhaps it is a coincidence, but when I swiped the Homey notification with "You're home right now" away, Homey reported I left the house. After 15 minutes or so AND after 30 minutes, it reported I was back. I created a flow which announces when som…

superice said: Interesting, on my phone it isn't even in the list of battery using apps, because it's just so little. It could be because your GPS chip is very inefficient? Geofencing uses the GPS chip pretty much, especially when you're a lot ar…

The Homey app usen 8% of my battery power today while only running in the background. Not bad, but the second highest consumer after wifi, so there might be room for some improvement.
