Since Homey is most likely running some Linux distro, implementing the etherwake tool should be easy. Etherwake can send wake-on-lan packets, or magic packets, to devices. This way a computer or other networked device could be woken up, if it is con…

* Homey doing my taxes. * Homey cleaning the house.

But will it blend?

Yes, please @Emile update the sticky topic as well.

Gone in 60 seconds theme

Hehe, that's awesome.

Sort of tangent to this but still related; there's a lot of z-wave equipment that can be turned on or off but does not register used power. It has no power meter built in. For example a simple on/off Z-wave switch without power consumption measuring…

Can we VPN into your office network and run our code there? For science. j/k

Well, you know, it's always a bit of a tricky business when automating contact with emergency services, but it could come in handy. SIP is just a software feature, and the microphone and speaker are already present, as well as a text to voice synthe…

This question has been asked before. Unfortunately no complete details are available yet but from what has been shared so far, and what I have read here on the forums as posted by Athom personnel, when the Internet goes down, the Homey will still fu…

+1 for the continued listening mode of the Homey perhaps call it "interactive mode"
-
This is true; it has to be z-wave plus. Homey fortunately is, but I don't know about Vera. If it is, then this can be done. If not; tough luck.
-
Hello PimBliek, It should be possible to join the Homey as a secondary controller and then perform a so-called controller shift. Meaning your Homey becomes the main controller, and your current Vera system becomes a secondary. You can remove the se…
-
@Fire69 : interesting product. Same argument applies though; again sound detection. Though to be fair, since it's sitting right on top of the smoke alarm (or inside it) it will probably be better than having the Homey listen to it from far away. But…
-
I don't think this would be reliable, and therefore in general a bad idea. Sound detection simply just isn't a very reliable method - what if your music is a bit loud and the Homey 'thinks' the alarm has gone off, or someone whistles or a car alarm …

It's possible that there is 2-way communication over IR and that one of the 2 is a receiver, not an IR sender. This seems far-fetched to me, though. It's quite possible there's just 2 IR LEDs to improve the range/angle of sending the IR signal. If y…
-
Based on what I've read here in the forums from Athom personnel's comments, in theory, yes. In reality, this must be tested first before conclusively it can be guaranteed to function. Homey is able to learn IR signals, and reproduce them. But IR sig…

Thanks Emile, I think that helps to clarify the point that definitely it will be possible for a driven person to create his/her own vision of a front-end interface. I think this may be the way I'm going to go, but that choice still depends very much…

In my personal opinion and purely in my own personal capacity as an IT guy that has some knowledge of various home automation systems, I feel superice is right in that the way they have chosen to go is the proper way to go, and that there will be pl…

"Hey Shithead, turn down the lights" Hm. I think I should choose another name for Homey.
-
JPe: not that I'm by no means an expert on Homey, but, I've found that X-10 radio frequency is 433MHz, and Homey does have a transceiver for 433MHz on-board. So in theory, it could learn the signal and transmit it by itself from there on. Perhaps so…

I'm glad to hear that.

Hello Tommy, If Homey is an improvoment on the current situation then yes I'll sell the Fibaro HC2. Maybe someone else will have more enjoyment from it than I've had so far. A small part of the troubles I've had is down to the devices I've chosen…

Hi Ronald, I can't tell you very much about reliability in that regard as yet because the oldest Z-wave devices I have are barely a year old. So far I have not had a Z-wave device fail on me, though. Well, aside from a broken button on a keyfob b…
