  • MHubert said: Continuous power is a different story. Exactly. And don`t just assume the 230V. In UK at many places we have >240V.
  • Keep in mind that some devices has high inrush current what is way much higher than the rated power. Use it for low power stuffs if you wish to be on the safe side. 
  • Yes indeed I would not buy mains powered devices from China. They just put the CE mark on everything without actually meeting with the requirement. They are just too much risk. Battery operated stuffs a bit different. I have only Fibaro inline devic…
  • It is like putting a ban on Athom accusing them that they stole the design of the Google nexus Q. Apparently you don`t own a Neo device. I will go with Neo motion sensors in the future because they are higher quality than the Fibaro ones (Fixing, se…
  • That is relatively good. Sometimes is goes above 40-50. I bought on the international day sale (11 November) for £19.14.
  • Of course: https://forum.athom.com/discussion/862/cheap-homey-clones-for-sale
  • BasVanDenBosch said: @ZperX Those are different issues. You seem to have a lot of interference (BT and Zwave are completely different frequencies) while @Chielvb has a problem with a sensor which seems unrelated to Homey or for some other reaso…
  • Chielvb said: I've the latest updates, for both fibaro and homey. But the z wave plus motion sensor only works close to homey. As soon as I hang it back at its location it is out of range. There is an other z wave plus (double switch) right nex…
  • Tado has 20% off this weekend on all products. Oh yeah and they deliver the backfriday orders in February. Nice... UK Vesternet has Blackfriday deals: http://www.vesternet.com/smart-home/black-friday
  • Tado thermostat only £129 (usually it is around £200): https://www.amazon.co.uk/tado°-Smart-Thermostat-Smartphone-Control/dp/B00P2HT3RM/ref=gbps_img_m-3_2855_2fec2598?smid=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&pf_rd_p=6872152a-d5eb-405b-a9cc-8e2473ec2855&pf_rd_s=m…
  • It should work as standard Z-wave device. It uses the standard Z-wave chip. See no reason why this would not work. Same size as the Fibaro, does not have such a great marketing photos but to be honest it cant be more plasticy. The downside is that y…
  • Ahh. That is TRV thermostatic radiator valve. There are not many connected TRV options on the market: Honeywell - expensive, LightwaveRF - uk only, Danfoss - Z-wave (Does not work reliably enough and very limited range for many users including me. A…
  • What do you mean by thermostat buttons?
  • Robert said: We did test the Google speech api, but we came to the conclusion that the extra time and costs involved mean it is not the right choice to implement Google STT at this time. The only SST that works well with wide ranges of micr…
  • This is the first time I have installed it. I haven`t changed the settings in the app still it overrides the Tado schedule and the heating was off this morning. Is that normal? Can I use the app without overriding (reading temp and humidity)?
  • Yeah! The 0.5.4 works again. Thanks.
  • The overnight periods are still not working despite the expectation. It stops working at midnight. So I have reopened the issue: https://github.com/athombv/homey/issues/582

  • Bettervoice is now obsolete. Overnight periods are working The insight graphs still curves back, but it is not a big deal: Can`t remove disconnected Z-wave devices.
  • According to Emile`s Slack comment the ETA of the media capability is 3 weeks. If I remember well that is to be shipped with the BT update.
  • If I recall correctly they had 1000 voice sample. You might be right that it is more about tuning the microphone and or course signal processing. Could be either. Anyway standard user won`t be bothered about the reasons, return the product...
  • Fire69 said: Because I think the 'ok homey' is working ok for most people? You can`t say that without knowing most people. The success rate of the trigger here is less than 60%. Of course it is much better than it used to be but it depends a…
  • Of course we can`t see the source code but most issues are pointing to the same thing. Athom has no experience with signal processing: Voice, IR, 433Mhz receiver. Z-wave range issue. How handle noise and physical signals is clearly beyond their know…
  • I always had this issue even with wiped clean homey. Therefore it is not memory issue... But the memory issue should be sorted too. @Mathijs That is a good one, the engine used the urban dictionary.
  • I have submitted the issue: https://github.com/athombv/homey/issues/920 I am planning to make review video. Could you also make a video otherwise we are regularly slapped by the enhusiast: `It works for me why are you complaining`? I can confirm tha…
  • That was one of my first thought that the settings from the app are not sent correctly. So I added the sensor as standard Z-wave device and set it up with RAW data. It stayed unstable. I can confirm placing the sensor near to homey helps. But there …
  • There are two issues here. Range is one of them. The other one is not reported. When I save any setting in my sensor it gets even more unreliable. It start to hallucinate movements and canceling them for a sec and so on. If I reset the sensor and us…
  • Welcome in the club. That is the issue I am facing with since day 1.
  • On the old athom website there was a map with the number of kickstarter orders per country. Of course Netherlands was way above any other countries. If I can recall it correctly the rank went something like this: NL, UK, US-Canada (been cancelled), …
  • Same setup here. With IOS app.
