  • We are aware that there are many little annoying issues with a brand new products. As long these are software issues no worries, will be fixed. Normal product cycle. The frequent updates is the best strategy, users can move on.   Initial videos, …
  • I like your idea, an open homey OS would be great. Not sure if the homey OS will be available, guess the guys want to keep the system secure and protect their intellectual property. Probably this not what you had in mind but might be an inspiration…
  • Or more generic plugin so it can be used with Automate, AutomateIt, Tasker and all other automating/trigger apps?
  • Rick, sincere apology for the misinterpretation and thank you for the clarification. Not intended to judge the app just tried to figurate out our options. Looking forward to use it with homey. If everything will accessible via API that will give lot…
  • Seems like there are two parallel conversations here. The question if homey will have a Dash board where you can overview the status of few elements: on/of status, outdoor temp, thermostat target temp, IP camera images, power consumption etc. Someth…
  • Yes it is easy to find hidden SSID if you know how or just google to find out how to do. But to be honest most folks don`t even know that hidden SSIDs do exist. Anyway there are plenty of reasons why you might want to use hidden SSIDs. I am sure tha…
  • I had a look at this app and the APK. Am I correct in assuming that this is `frame` app, loading mobile pages from athom server? Of course it has navigation system and voice recognition but apart of that it looks like just a frame. That would also e…
  • That`s 1st January. Isn`t that a bank holiday in NL? Oh these predictions....   Thanks for the trello page. It`s nice. Just keep it up to date.
  • Some guys have upgraded to First batch after the KS campaign. I believe it is around 20 pcs now.
  • It has a very limited range it is more like the NFC. Needs manual interaction each time.
  • Thanks Michael. I did not know that. Ughh. I was hoping to have a Tile like solution. Phone might be empty or in airplane mode also the above solution needs a constant WIFI/3G connection » battery drain. Is there any way that homey can be the recei…
  • iBeacon seems to be the simplest and one of the most cost effective solution for "home-away" sensing. Are beacons supported by Homey by default or it will need specific app(s)? In case of the first scenario will this feature be available at the la…
  • How did you get that discount?
  • Hey! “Spreding lies” is strong. Domestic post would surely would be delivered by 24th but there is a world outside of NL. Also if you would read my earlier posts than you would see none of my predictions proved to be pessimistic or negative but rath…
  • That is just a video. Something you can be in control of. Does it really takes weeks to fix an update server? Is there an another deeper reason why the whole thing is hold for months what is not shared? The busiest time of the year for the post. If…
  • d3rax said: How are the sensors: http://www.robbshop.nl/zipato-bewegings-en-temperatuur-sensor-zp3102 It surely does the job and cheap. In return it is huge and dont have the vital light sensor (as probably you don`t want that the moti…
  • Or Fibaro multi sensor. It is smaller if not the smallest on the market, easy to hide. Has bracket easy to tilt, has built in LED on the front for nice visual feedback. Similar price. Has motion, light, temperature and vibration sensors. The only tw…
  • Child labour is illegal. I am sure Athom has offered a competitive pension plan. Well done mate!
  • Regarding the Automate. Yes indeed it is similar to the flow editor but you can do things with this what you cant do in flow editor (chiefly because this is running on the phone in the background): * Add custom google now commands: OK Googl…
  • I think this topic is about a widget (buttons on the startup screen). Of course the widget always has less functionality the app itself (if they are comparable) but has a giant benefit: super quick and easy to change the setting/status of something.…
  • Hi Rick. How about if we make our own widgets as well? All we need for that are accessible shortcut commands/activities of the Homey app. I was googling if there is a specific name of it but seems like these are just called shortcuts. I hope you kn…
  • Wow! That is couple of toilet breaks
  • In this article https://neeo.com/blog/2015/11/29/lets-talk-infrared I read this: "Adding a nest thermostat via its programming interface (API) was done in .... in less than two days." Time to time I tweak source codes but I am not a programmer, …
  • Firstly they are always forced to give estimates on things they have never done before. Seems a bit unfair but of course we need to understand both sides. They cant see many issues until they start working on it or they fix an other issue. Hard to p…
  • Thank you for your comment. The flow editor is for every sort devices, covering most user cases. There is a world beyond Fibaro and Z-wave. Yes there are mains powered (WIFI, 866Mhz, etc) motion sensors. Also the mentioned 1 sec is just an example …
  • * when X number of movements are detected in Y seconds (is it a party or someone just went by) * when X number of movements are detected with each of them lasting for at least Y second with a minimum delay of Z seconds between each (if I have X num…
  • Small change for the hungry beggars. How about a proper meal: A video update showing the android app in action, adding Z-wave devices and configuring them, IR database, learning infra codes, blinds, etc. This time of the year people have mercy for …
  • Yes we stick to the topic. We always ask about the new shipment date and always get a new one. How about opening a new topic titled Final delivery date? Maybe we will have more luck.
  • Yes, indeed a status report would be very much welcomed. Particularly about the first batch. Before you tell people off not to talk about this and that, please keep it in mind that this a forum. A place of user discussions. @JeroenKleijn Y…
  • The 433Mhz, Infrared, Zigbee, Z-wave chips are really not expensive when you order couple of 1000 pieces. The price difference is not coming from that. The price difference is coming from Athoms market research-price positioning and the manufactured…
