  • The issue in the app store has been resolved, I have published the new version of the app. When adding devices the app can now autodiscover new smart plugs (one at a time). Note that 'new' is a relative thing, if you restart the app, any plug it fin…
  • Something is going wrong in the app store. On friday I added an alpha version with some significant improvements (bugfix allowing multiple devices to be used, and autodiscovery of new devices) which I shortly after promoted to 'beta', requiring appr…
  • Ah, yes, that should help
  • Ah, ok By the way, I received some useful information on something related to another Magnum thermostat via info@magnum.nl, they were quite responsive. 
  • As mentioned in the other thread, the Heat-it thermostat appears to be the same as the Magnum branded 'Z-wave control' thermostat (I guess useful to mention in the app): https://www.magnumheating.nl/producten/58-1-elektrische+systemen/p-299-magnum+z…
  • I ran into that at some point (at least it sounds like the same issue), clearing the Athom cookie(s) worked for me. If you used firefox for the first time that would not be the issue. You are logging into my.athom.com, right, and not the local IP? …
  • I noticed that as well, same on the Dutch version  (although I think you can probably complete the Homey setup from a tablet, so technically it may not be a lie afterall, but I am not a lawyer...). I can't help wondering why you apparently did no…
  • Please do not re-pair the Vision sirens with version 1.2.0, the on/off flow capabilities need to be added first. After re-pairing you can turn the siren on and off, but you cannot include it in flows. Installing the app probably doesn't hurt (nor d…
  • In the meantime it turns out that by default Homey listens only to ASK (amplitude modulated) 868 MHz signals. The Itho signals are FSK (frequency modulated), which is why the data received by Homey looks so random.   Homey can send FSK and receive F…
  • However, they will add a function that will warn you when the text you enter in a 'something is said' triggercard overlaps with a pre-defined speech command. I think they said it would be in the next release (1.3). 
  • I have ordered four slide units, fingers crossed 
  • I don't know Eaton 868 MHz specifics, but note that currently Homey only listens to amplitude modulated signals at 868 MHz (when recording on the console). It can listen to FSK signals, but only 2 seconds after sending.  According to Athom (Jeroen)…
  • No, at least evidently no powerdip Homey can't handle    So it is possible at least. 
  • The idea seems to be to remove possible duplicate entries in the logs. You'd think there wouldn't be any as the entries are time-stamped, but in some of the logs (at least mine) there are indeed duplicate entries. What would work is to replace the …
  • Example from a linux pc: curl -H "Authorization: Bearer " -o output-file http:///api/manager/insights/log/homey:device:/measure_temperature/entry Refer to https://forum.athom.com/discussion/comment/49578/#Comment_49578, there's a link to a neat …
  • For the volume button you can use a Better Logic (virtual) dimmer. If you create a Better Logic number variable that can hold the volume value, you can change the variable with the virtual dimmer. The Better Logic 'a variable has changed' trigger ca…
  • @bvb I'll create an app if you can get me/lend me a soundtouch. I have made a similar app for my NAD amplifier. I'll need to look into the multi-room stuff, but adding it in cards shouldn't be a problem.  I have been meaning to add mdns autoconfig …
  • Yes, that appears to work (https://community.bose.com/t5/SoundTouch-Speakers/API-Sources/td-p/40185). 
  • Fyi, there's a nodejs API available for it as well: https://github.com/CONNCTED/SoundTouch-NodeJS. 
  • @Priknr1 yes (of course ), it makes Homey mobile/portable, allowing me to for instance capture wireless commands up close, re-pair a wallswitch without having to take it off the wall, etc., exactly as @RuudvB suggested.  I don't know how the consta…
  • @jorden, there's mdns code in the Athom github repository, see https://github.com/athombv/node-mdns-js that could possibly be of use, perhaps you have already seen it. Looking at it implementing it someday in the amplifier app I made is somewhere o…
  • I have Homey connected to the 2.1 A USB port of an 'Xtorm solar charger'. I can leave it unplugged from the mains for hours, no problem at all. I guess it depends... Not sure on what though It seems that at least some powerbanks can deliver uninte…
  • For what it's worth, I use a sunscreen with the Somfy RTS unit in combination with Homey, it works perfectly for me. 
  • Thanks! Much appreciated :-)
  • Hi Marcel, Would you do me a favour and rate the app in the app store? That way others can see that's actually being used 
  • Sure, see the example flow in the screenshot below: In the flow a 'TV-aan' boolean (true/false) Better Logic variable is used, which you can create in the Better Logic settings. The flow will only be executed if the state of the TV-aan variable is …
  • You can set a Better Logic (boolean) variable to indicate that the flow has already triggered. If variable = true do nothing, if variable = false, fire the IR command and set the variable to true.  Alternatively you can use a countdown timer ('zand…
  • I think you can do this with the A22 action card. It does an HTTP get and stores the result in a better logic variable.  URL: http://www.myurl.com/receive_temp.html, for the JSON path you would need to fill in '$.temp'. You can then store the numbe…
  • For the record (and for what it's worth ), for me Homey presence works perfectly on an iPhone 6s and an iPhone 7. There were some issues with it up to around january this year, however around that time it started working properly (it seems due to…
  • Maybe you can catch @Annemarie on slack? I guess it's time for Athom to come up with (or publish) a procedure for cases like this.
