Just look at it from the positive side: every time a software update is released, we get even more value for our money and we have more tools to play with. It's like Christmas all year round :-D Positive encouragement helps to keep Homey going, s…

Fibaro are very good. They are a bit expensive, but they have a ton of features. Just have a look at the fibaro motion sensor. I don't have any myself yet, but I have heared nothing but good things about fibaro. Is you are just getting started, c…

From what I have read about google cast is that it has a fully documented API which is easy to use. Since I expect android TV to gain popularity and become one of the bigger markets for smart TVs next to Samsung and Apple, support will only improve.…

Hi Taco, Thanks for the update. Although we are all awaiting our Homey very eagerly, we do understand that it is a complex process to get every working and certified. Personally, I think some basic functionality of Fibaro devices should have the …

It is surprising how many professional extremely expensive software systems can't handle the going back in time very well. Many multi million 24 hour companies have manual workarounds. Losing an hour of data isn't the worst bug to have. I can live w…

Hi Emile, The graphs look really good! Creating graphs with various sensor data is very nice to have. Having a graphs which shows the gas consumption combines with the outdoor temperature or the energy consumption combined with the number of peo…

One sensor does not exclude the need for another. Also, more complex logic does not always improve the behavior. I like simple effective and predictable behavior and build slowly on that. When I started with home automation, I went all out with sens…

One of the most compelling use cases for home automation has been saving on energy. There have been numerous projects which have demonstrated that providing real-time and meaningful insight in a household's energy use can have a significant impact o…

There is Toon, HomeWizard's EnergyLink or https://www.plugwise.nl/slimme-meter-uitlezen for the lazy people, but I can recommend to use a raspberry pi with https://www.sossolutions.nl/slimme-meter-kabel instead as it is much more fun and reasonably …

What can I say... I'm an optimist... Just don't try to tastetest the led ring OK?

Impressie demo. z-wave and zigbee mesh Networks have even beter coverage.

It is my understanding that the music does not go through Homey, but instead, homey tells a device to play music from a source (like a remote specifying a tv channel). Is this understanding correct? I have been looking into some multiroom speaker…

Rather than testing the entire system, it is very common to choose standard components build on their specification. If I would build a PC, I'm not going to test it for spontaneous combustion. Since the Homey has an external power supply and does no…

I see 2 options to support MySensor. 1) Connect to the gateway via the UI or web services it provides. 2) Create a driver in Homey which replaces the MySensor gateway altogether. Connecting through the gateway will be relatively easy I expect.…

Do any of you have experience with APIs for music services? I have heard about a reverse engineered python library for google music. Never realized the music streaming services would be so restrictive.

@Emile +1 Now let's give the man some space so he can get back to coding

Anyone remember the wizards in winter youtube video?

I played with the virtual Homey and I have faith the real thing will be just as awesome.

You guys are aware that you funded a kickstarter right? I suggest you read a bit more about what kickstarter is all about before you give your money away. We donated money to fund a company. If they manage to get to produce a product, we get a pr…

Raspberry Pis are pretty sturdy. I have seen various outdoor implementations but I don't know what the life expectancy is. The fact that there is so much stuff available for the rpi would make it my first choice for most projects. There are some off…

433Mhz devices are limited to output a maximum amount of power, so the range should be more or less the same regardless of the device: about 30 meters with moderate obstructions. That being said, we have seen various factors which can influence t…

I'm building a countdown app to the Homey shipping date. I'm currently at version 12.3 :-p

I recently found out that it is possible to call any web service using Launch Center. You will need to use port forwarding and integration won't be as smooth as a full integrated solution. I haven't tried Launch Center myself. What use cases did …

It would be nice to have Homey read the latest headlines from Tweakers at 7:30 as an alarm clock. Local weather forcast might be nice as well.

Does the Fibaro firmware ever get updated? I know that the Philips hue lamps can receive updates via the bridge.

KAKU products used to advertise with a range of 100m and an practical indoor range of 30m. These days they do not provide any range indication. I know a lot of users have their control station in the utility closet (meterkast) and that they are able…

Ok, that's it... tell me where the catch is. How can you build a product which simply does EVERYTHING. It not humanly possible to be that awesome right? Are you a robot from the future? It would explain a lot...

Fibaro has a wall plug which is both a switch and an energy sensor. It looks like the perfect device for you. A friend of mine used one for his (not so efficient) cooker. My guess is he made a profit on the investment within a month :-) The feature…
