  • rob_houweling said: That's a lot of ifs that I, since I use WiFi routers (and that's more then 15 years, I'm an old goat ), I have never encountered. I prefer ease of use, no reliance on static IP's: I like to use devices by name and don't care …
  • BasVanDenBosch said: novaflash said:...static IP addressing should be possible from within the Homey settings panel and I will not accept anything less. Though I think you're right as far as it should be possible to use a static ip…
  • MarcoF said: @novaflash ; OK the car is irrelevant, what's your point with the cheap printer????   I'm demonstrating with a real life example how even a shitty 60 euro printer that can join my wifi network has the option to set a static …
  • MarcoF said: My car hasn't a possibility to set a fixed IP, does that make it a bad car? If it wants to integrate into an existing network, then its networking implementation is incomplete, and could be problematic because of this. Brin…
  • Looks like they are fixing this bug in 0.8.31 (source: github)
  • It's all up to Athom, of course, but I believe it would be wise to: * Have a unique host name per Homey to avoid host name collission issues as experienced by some. * Allow the user to manually adjust the IP address/hostname settings. If it's wron…
  • Yeah, the host name should probably be something like Homey-ad84cd. Something unique in any case. Like Android phones do, for example. The last 6 characters could be the last 6 characters of the MAC address of the WiFi chip in the Homey. Not that th…
  • I have looked in my Homey but I can't find such an option. I don't think that option exists. I would like a card option that says "When: Homey didn't understand you".
  • I am using a Ubiquiti Unifi UAP professional wifi access point, 2 of them in fact, and even with the most basic settings Homey refuses to connect. Every other device I've ever had here can connect normally. Homey cannot, sadly. I will attempt to do …

  • Z-wave should be a priority, I believe this as well. But knowing Z-wave a bit over the years, it's not as easy as it seems. Saying that Z-wave is a standard is saying that electricity is a standard. But if you go to another country, chances are you …
  • Contain it? It will fall right through. edit: errr oops didn't read properly, it says millimeters.
  • Suggestion: [✓]  schedule automatic updates to occur at  [    3AM |  ▼]  With the option to set the time/day of week.

  • Well, that was a short glimpse at a naked homey.
  • ReneBoeije said: April 1 is coming I guess.. they do not show how it is mounted and the 90 degree move requires steering in a way you could achieve the same with normal tires. The supporting footage has a too high fake james bond look. T…
  • I think the concept of spherical wheels is valid and achievable, especially with battery technology and electromagnetic drive technology the way it is now. I only wonder what would happen if you go over a speedbump a little too fast. 
  • DenW said: Fire69 said: It's just a render. Nothing looks like that in real life  Haha.. Yes, ofcourse it is..!  Too bad though.. If you use enough paint, sure it will. For about 10 minutes. And then fingerprints and dus…
  • Oh yeah I've been meaning to get a can of that stuff. Since I'm in NL I ordered it through plastidip.nl.
  • i don't know what the best paint is either but i'll go for automotive spray can paint and see what happens.
  • This just makes me want to paint the Homey black. As soon as I have it, I think I will do just that. Matt black.
  • LIDL in Leeuwarden.
  • honey said: Great! I was just looking for a casing for my RaspberryPI and LED string.   This could actually be really cool. It does have the Homey look, you could actually conceivably put stuff in there and have like a little brother/sis…
  • @Delta  The only positive thing I can take away from your complaints is the mild impression that the emails could be "prettier". The rest of your comments is just negative bitching. This leads to the 'boy who cried wolf' response in me. It is now no…
  • Vincent said: novaflash said: @emile: Can we get wake-on-LAN capabilities on the Homey? To power on a PC in the local network configured for WOL. Emile already mentioned this was quite easy. He even posted a link to a nodejs script…
  • Right. So instead of saying: Ok Homey, turn on the kitchen light. Ok Homey, turn off the bedroom light. Ok Homey, turn on the living room light. Just this: Ok Homey, turn on the kitchen light and the living room light, and turn off the bedroom lig…
  • Is it possible to say "turn on the lights in the kitchen, and the living room, and turn off the lights in the bedroom"?
  • It is possible to inject an RFID chip into your arm. Just like pets get chipped. But isn't that going a little far..?  Also interesting idea; UV ink QR tattoo and UV QR scanner. Invisible but functional (but a little weird on the dance floor). Anyw…
