  • You could perhaps add an (optional)  user configurable weight for each sensor and base the alarm trigger on the (sum of the) weight of the triggering devices?  This way you can avoid tripping the alarm if a single sensor of lesser importance (or re…
  • I think it is indeed a matter of getting a 'feeling' for the accuracy and usefulness of the data from the different tables.  About your question: I was wondering if it is possible to filter on in depth weather conditions like 'heavy rain' or…
  • @Daniel1234 all the app does is construct an openweathermap URL, and returns the result, there is no magic involved. What location are you using? Homey's location? This is based on Homey's lat/lon coordinates, and the API will always give a response…
  • Berna3rd, if you want to know the weather conditions at the location Homey is at, you don't need to fill in any city or zip code. These fields (actually either the city or the zip code, only one is used) you can use if you want to have weather data …
  • Thanks The upgrade is very easy indeed. The 'return from pullback' is unchanged, I would have liked to see an additional setting for that. The 'catch' of the lock now remains pulled in after the x second open period. I contacted them about it a w…
  • @swttt the link was addressing the powerusage question
  • https://forum.athom.com/discussion/3059/how-much-power-does-homey-use-homey-on-a-ups A lux based flow is simple with Homey.  In case you have an iPhone, Apple Homekit works great with Homey (and with Siri for voice control).
  • I don't see any option in the sdk documentation either. I have cross-posted to https://forum.athom.com/discussion/3329/homey-insights-reports-looking-for-your-feedback, @Robert of Athom was working on Insights enhancements, and was asking for input.…
  • @Robert what Insights really needs is an RRD option to aggregate data over longer time periods without running out of storage. Using RRD can save a tonne of storage space, and the nice thing is that the round-robin database remains a fixed size. F…
  • Great app! In fact, it should be incorporated in the standard Homey functionality if you ask me. How about looking at integrating RRD functionality in it? I think it would make a lot of sense given the limited storage on Homey. I have a couple of p…
  • Hi all, I have submitted an up update for the OpenWeatherMap (http://openweathermap.org/) app, hopefully it will appear in the app store shortly. As new capabilities have been added, you will need to remove your OWM sensor and create (pair) new one…
  • @Count_B I have had the Danalock v3 for a couple of weeks now, and I quite like it. I have modified a key to fit the lock with the existing cylinder. It is a bit fiddly but worked OK in the end. The lock has no problems at all with my 3-point lock, …
  • @CyberSponk I guess it can be used to get sunrise/sundown information for just about any location on the planet... I don’t know if anyone would ever use it, I’ll put it on the list of ‘stuff to add at some point’ ;-) There are some other parameters…
  • @satbopper it has nothing to do with paid/unpaid, it is a bug. With the unpaid API key you can make 60 API calls per minute which is plenty. I haven’t seen the issue myself, with over 100 installs it seems to be a rare occurrence. No need to be so…
  • Mmm, looks like a problem with the polling interval. If it is not set the node js function will default to 1 ms.  However, the parameter is set to a fixed value in the app which is much higher, unless you run 20.000 instances, which I don’t think H…
  • Well, for HTTP it does. Why not make an app yourself? There’s help available in the Athom slack channel and lots of examples in the store
  • I have, some devices are controlled via hex strings for instance, sent over a tcp socket (NAD) or udp (DMX stuff).  I have thought about something like that. It would probably never make it to the app store as it quickly becomes fiddly and difficul…
  • As indicated above, an update including forecast data (up to five days, in 3-hour intervals) will be in the app store shortly. An interesting exercise with the new version is to compare the current data with the forecast data in the current 3-hour i…
  • Hi Rickerd, Yes, it has its own driver in the Homey app.  The only difference between the HS110 and HS100 is that the latter does not have the capability to measure power usage.  The app also supports the TP-Link lightbulbs by the way.  Regards,…
  • Mmm, it seems the OpenWeatherMap internationalisation leaves something to be desired when it comes to the dutch translations... The description below is supposed to be dutch, but it is in fact danish ;-) Anyway, it is an issue in the API, not the ap…
  • The 433 generator does not create any signal at all, it just generates drivers files you can use as a starting point for an app. The recording in the developer tools is the signal you need to analyze in order to arrive at a working signal definition…
  • I think the settings are only permanently saved when the onSettings() function is called, this does not happen automagically when changing settings programmatically (see note at the bottom). Refer to https://apps.developer.athom.com/tutorial-Drivers…
  • Search for ‘signal definition’ and you’ll find some useful links: https://forum.athom.com/uploads/editor/g8/qe7swz0tr4h9.pdf https://forum.athom.com/discussion/3927/help-needed-with-decoding-433-mhz-signal

  • Hi Marco,  glad you like it    The next version will have a verification of the API key during pairing, support for multiple locations, and some more settings for optional English weather descriptions and imperial units, and maybe some flow condit…
  • Nice! Actually, for a while I was waiting for you to finish the app ;-)  I was inspired by Athom's 'T-shirt' challenge, if you publish an SDK2 app before the 1st of december, Athom has a T-shirt for you. So this is the initial version, I do intend …
  • [ saved for later updates ] 
  • Ik mis in dit verhaal wat je zoal gedaan hebt om de aanwezigheidsfuncties in Homey zelf aan de praat te krijgen? Daar zou ik eerst op focussen.  Dus voor elke gebruiker een eigen Athom account maken, de app installeren op de telefoon van elke gebru…
  • Just turn off automatic updates, you can then choose when to upgrade to which version, whether stable or experimental
