  • @KoenMartens ; You can do that with homey thanks to the chromecast and youtube apps
    in Google Home Comment by caseda May 2016
  • This is already implemented, it's called: Variables  Edit: Except for the light part, there is no way to change the color of the lights according variables, but this is not a variable thing, It (still)  needs to be implemented in the (for example) …
  • If you are using the default logic app it is only possible by letting homey speak the value. (when the notifications work again you can do it also with notifications to your phone.)  You can do this by adding {{$VARIABLENAME}}  to the card You wil…
  • From the information that's given at the moment it is exactly the same as amazon's echo. So only Internet (http) related things are able (like hue thanks to the hub, music streaming), but no infrared/Z-Wave/zigbee etc.  So more like an assistent t…

  • Easy, use 2 cards for the light: [IF] doorbell is rung [AND] it is dark [THEN] set brightness to 100% [&] set brightness to 25% (with delay of 10 minutes, right hand corner the small clock) 
  • It is not only when included on the older version then updated, I needed to full wipe after the update to .34 so had no devices of the previous version, still had the same error. 
    in 0.8.34 Comment by caseda May 2016
  • I've got newest version and can see all my devices (even from not my home network) could see them on the previous version as well.  I do however need to click on "devices" once in the menu to make them start appearing. 
  • Ok, to be clear on the full inclusion.  You first reset the sensor by: 1. Take off the Sensor's cover and remove battery. Make sure the TMP button is intact.2. Touch the Sensor's body with a magnet, 3. Insert the battery, 4. Remove the magnet from…
  • The not being able to change settings is a known bug in 0.8.34 you will have to wait for .35, you can change parameters with flows, but you are probably not trying this just normal settings.  To not being able to switch I don't know, it is probably…
    in z-wave issues Comment by caseda May 2016
  • What is the distance between the sensor and homey. Are you holding it nearby? 
  • @hnijveen  It is the safest way to go to change the switch to a regular double (toggle) switch, and you don't need to pull any new wires in that way. (for the N contact)
  • @MarcelKuijper  actually the subject of the OP is what his best option is for using a dimmer module behind his series switch, not just the modules in general. And it does not state in the official manual how to handle with this situation. Trust me …
  • @Phuturist ; Why don't you just put a shortcut in your startup folder to the get URL? I.E.: http://[IPHOMEY]/api/app/com.internet/[GETNAME]/[GETVALUE] value is of course optional your laptop will always start with a browser window open, but yeah, i…
  • You could try to time it, like it takes 4 seconds to close completely, so when you want 50%: Send down/off signal so the sunscreen closes. Then with 2 seconds delay send another down/off signal so the sunscreens stops at it's position. I don't thin…
  • @MarcelKuijper ;; Your way is not always possible when you have a "Series Switch" so 1 switch with 2 buttons, not 2 separate switches, most switches of this type only have 1 Input and 2 Outputs so if you want to use both outputs you need 230v on the…
  • Too bad i don't have one, and can't find my answer on the interwebs, atleast i'm not sure if the drawings i've seen are compatible with the dimmer 2. What i need to know: if the Sx terminal outputs 230v, and/or if S1/S2 terminals can handle/receive…
  • You can leave the double switch (so still use them as 2 single switches), you just need 2 dimmers, either inside the wall (I don't think that will fit) or at the lamp side.  Combination of both is possible as well i guess (1 in the wall, 1 at the la…
  • I think you are correct of not understanding it correctly. The dimmer 2 is made compatible for what we call in the Netherlands "Hotel Schakeling" or "Wissel schakeling". So if you can turn on a light with 2 separate switches. (it does work if there …
  • All fibaro Motion Sensors until v2.8 (Z-Wave) use Generic Alarm for all alarms All Fibaro Motion Sensors with v3.2 (Z-Wave+ (plus)) use separate alarm states.
  • They do not advice to use homey as a security device, it is not created with this in mind, like at all. For all the exact reasons you are stating, power loss etc. homey will stop working, completely, it will not send any command's anymore. There ar…
  • @peterdegroote  Now all the flow cards are being activated at practically the same time (only a few milliseconds apart) there is no way for the developers to know when a user wants to have a cascading effect like you are trying now or if people want…
  • I think you found yourself a bug, there is not supposed to be a generic alarm in the v3.2 of the sensor. maybe something to do with compatibility between the normal Z-Wave version and the Z-Wave+ (plus) version. Or has something to do with being an …
  • No apps can and will be created until the Zigbee API has been implemented, so you will have to wait for that
  • An update from my side. They Both updated their parameter (sensor 1: 80,1,13 & sensor 2: 80,1,15 - different color when seeing motion), so this included the deleted flow, and the flow that is still there. it is the only parameter i changed but i…
  • @TedTolboom ; no that can't be true, the default wakeup time is not specified by homey, it is by default coded in (most) battery devices. I'm testing now 2 options, keeping the flow alive until change, and deleted flow until change. What i think is…
  • @DaneeDeKruyff , @TedTolboom  hmm i have actually never looked at that, even though it would be kinda strange to have 2 different wakeup sequences in a device, i will try with two of my sensors. I need to re-add them still anyway.
  • @Ziglar  that is not impatience, it is just more convenient and is why the wakeup with B-button is there
  • @Jesper  if you edit the parameters in flow, they wil NOT appear in the device config popup. but once the device has woken up they will receive the parameters and save them inside. The best way to see if the parameters worked, is to change one of t…
  • I had no battery in insight as well. but I don't think battery is very viable thing in insights, and I think that's the reason as well of not being there anymore.  the decrease will be so slow it almost won't show up (with difference) in insight.  …
  • i think Zigbee is third in line, first Bluetooth LE, then InfraRed then Zigbee, but don't quote me on that. just a expectation i thought of looking at what the developer that is going to work on this said yesterday or the day before. Zigbee not that…
