Installed https://github.com/TedTolboom/no.IDLock/tree/reportListener_Scene Had some difficulties installing, but got the same problem after reverting to last version. Installed OK after I removed and installed the batteries in the lock (Same batte…

I don't understand Athom's resistance to integrate Homey with Amazon Alexa as a proper Smart Home skill, instead of this inferior "ask Homey" skill which is just irritating! Homey is a capable Home automating device, but its voice recognition is inf…

Great! No more "Ask Homey". Exactly as the Alexa skill should have been from the beginning

Yuhu! Finally someone with the necessary skills: https://forum.athom.com/discussion/2837/alexa-skill-status#latest Kudos to Reinier for developing a proper Alexa Smart Home skill the way it should have been from the start! Modbreak: Because TS …

swttt said: You are right about the limitation in commands. I asked Emile directly after they released the skill, to quote his answer "Alexa home-automation skills suck" (or something like that) I guess he was kinda right, Alexa still only has…

yemoH said: Alexa itself also requires you to indicate which skill to use. For example I say "Alexa play on TuneIn". When I would leave out the TuneIn part, nothing happens. That is not entirely true. There is a Smart Home Skill for A…

One of the problems in getting Homey popular amongst ordinary people is the fragmented forums to seek help, and discuss improvements. For most people github is a strange and intimidating beast. People like myself with limited skills in programming …

lubbertkramer said: Feature requests can be made at the github of Athom. Athom builds a skill but the community can also build their own skill so i would say proof Athom wrong and do it better Just like you say @MbenzNo there are two ways to h…

Phuturist said: How else would Alexa know what to do with something like 'turn off the lights'? Nearly every other Home Automation Hubs that is able to talk to Alexa like Vera, Smartthings, Fibaro, Nest and even Harmony Hub have a proper…

I had to exclude the lock and uninstall the app. The constant polling of the lock is causing the batteries to drain fast. But one last observation is that when the batteries goes low, it actually reports battery status (Red and 1%) I will be away fr…

Many of my very simple flows have recently been very slow. During investigating of this I discovered that there is constantly a lot of Z-Wave traffic to the device ID that is my IDLock. The slow flow problem could be caused by something completely d…

Jepp, I was using the latest version. Uninstalled and installed latest version again with same result. Uninstalled and installed previous version, and it is working now! I can unlock/lock the lock, and it reports correct status when unlocked from th…

Brilliant! I have included my lock without any problem, but it does not give status of locked/Unlocked, and it does not respond to lock/unlock command from Homey. Battery level are not reported. It does however react to settings like away mode. I…

Restart of Homey got it online again.

Same problem for me. Not home for the next 14 days and homey is now offline. Wife not happy...
-
Problem sort of solved by making a new flow that sets the brightness of the lights in the living rom when the "Watch TV" activity is started. It would still be interesting to know why the lights was turned off in the first place...

I contacted ID lock by Facebook message, and asked if they could make an Homey app for ID lock. I gave them links to https://developers.athom.com/ for information. They responded that they would look into it. It would probably be a good Idea if mor…

Updated to 2.4.7 Still unable to se more than ten zones...

It was exactly the procedure I have used. Log file attached. (Hope it is the correct section)

BTW: Is it necessary to uninstall any previous version of app before doing a CLI install of new version?

I now have uninstalled Philio v. 0.0.18 and installed v. 0.0.20. I once again have tried to install the PAT02-1B sensor. It behaves exactly as in 0.0.18. It is identified as a slave, exchanges security keys , command classes and so on, but in the en…

I can confirm that 21600 saves without errors.

The default Wake Up value when included was 0. As soon as I tried to change this value, the lowest allowed by clicking the arrows is 240. It changes by 240 when pressing the arrows. St1-R. caseda said: @MbenzNo that is very odd th…

I am unable to save any device specific settings in mine Aeotec Multisensors 4 in 1 Gen 5, ZW074, identified as Manufacturer ID 134, product type ID 2, and Product ID 74. Any changes done in device specific sections, does not activate the Save butto…

That is a configuration setting I cannot easily adjust anymore in Homey...

I do not have any experience in coding, so I am at the moment reliant on others to do the coding. But at a later stage I intend to try to learn how to do the necessary coding to modify app/drivers on Homey...

swttt said: @vaderag I totally agree, i still hope Athom will create a second skill (just as logitech did). One with direct lights support and one with the ask homey part. +1 to that!
