  • I guess Homey will have a serialnumber label... I worked for a large printercompany (well, they make a lot more than printers...) and they have Engineering samples, red label (0-80% did work, be happy if does power up) blue label, these were the pre…
  • the UK is little America...
  • I think that in the instructions you got with your (newly built) house, it is written not to use the black wires as pulling rod. That might damage the inside of your pipes. (i.e. melting, create tracks with sharp edges, strip the black shield from t…
  • Good that this is cleared. Blocking a 10 minute email address/account is waste of time I think. (S)he will never log on again I assume. A new fake account is created in minutes.
  • If Homey is good, it can not be harmed by starting a thread by somebody with a different agenda. If you start deleting threads you show you are not convinced (of even affraid) about the quality of your own product. (I am not talking about deleting …
  • Quality first! certainly after all drawbacks we (Well... Athom) had. If there are new PCB's, that is good news for the first batch, as they do not get the ones repaired from the airbubbles under the LEDs. (I am not one of them BTW.) It also means t…
  • @kastelman: KAKU is not a problem, the on and off are different, so if you send 'On' twice, no issue. On many IR audio/video equipment, the power button on the remote is the same as on the device. It will flip the status from on to off and VV, regar…
  • @kriebelkous: How does homey know if on/off was successfull? IR communication is one way only, so if you want to know if the on/off toggle was successful, you need feedback. I think it is better to just repeat the command 'manually'. But that may ca…
  • Resending the signal is not always an option, as for some systems the command for power on/off is the same, i.e. it flips the current status. [Another suggestion: Can we move the discusion about Homeys' (hômey as 'the other girl' writes it) capab…
  • If new PCB's/casings are ordered, I suggest that the 'wrong' ones are distributed as a gesture to the geek backers. Non-geeks don't know what to do with it and for geeks it is always nice to have a development version, where a limited IR function is…
  • Ok, thanks, I can stop scratching my head on how stupid I am. (well, at least for this reason...)
  • Once upon a time I downloaded the devkit for windows... With the arrival of Homey (hopefully) coming closer, I decided to revamp this project. I have a folder in the root of my C-drive, so no issues on spaces in the foldername (Just in case...), cal…
  • Before starting (Or deciding if it makes sense to start) a new topic, what about Becker motors? Does anybody have any idea if they follow some known protocol? I know they use 868 MHz. With the shipping of Homey and thus better testing facilities com…
  • Ok, then I misinterpreted the concept of the virtual Homey on that point. I thought it was (at least part of it) to play with some scenarios and the userinterface, using (fake) equipment/sensors. The clock can be real as well as the speach / listen …
  • For now, it is either not intuitive, it is not working on Chrome and IE for windows, or I am stupid... I can not find/add any devices. I added 'Slaapkamer' as location, but I con not drag it anywhere. I tried IE11 to check if it is chrome-related,…
