  • Some time ago I backed the PhoneHome project on KickStarter, I got these mainly in future anticipation of Apple unlocking the NFC chip on the newer iPhones. I don't actually have any other NFC equipped device, so these are just sitting around waitin…
  • Pretty cool idea. Now that CES is over, I hope they'll have more time for development & answering emails!

  • Stefan said: I am in contact with someone from them over Linkedin, but they just referred to their Android SDK for now. I indicated what we are looking for instead after that, so let's hope . Thank you Stefan. It's much appreciated!!!!!!

  • jorden said: The Homey Plex app is best compared to a 'remote control' to control the Plex app that is on your TV, I guess. So if you can't use Plex on your tv now, Homey won't solve that. Perhaps a Chromecast is a good, cheap solution to that…
  • Fire69 said: Homey has to wait until you complete your command, send it over the Internet for speed-to-text conversion and then interpret the text it gets back.  Although I wished it was faster too, I think this is pretty fast considering all t…
  • @mruiter I asked veeeeeery nicely! It was both questions regarding changing shipping address + customs, and also a technical question. First reply was 9 days, then 2 weeks for 2 more emails, and to my last email (sent 11.12.15) they still haven't …

  • @Stefan that's great news! I'm really happy that you want to try this. Just a heads up, they take about 2 weeks to reply to emails, just so you know. They have a pretty good product, but horrible support (from my own experience). I'd love to be able…

  • But anyway, as of me, I live in Prague, and I really don't have too much money to spend, but I have invested in this: * Solight 433Mhz plugs (cheapest option) - $25 for 3 * 433Mhz LEDs (recommended by Emile) $17 for controller * IR LEDs (complete…

  • blusser said: @MarcoWijk , Great idea, since it could (IMHO it should) be a general function to be supported from homey, so maybe the guys at Athom can program such a feature. The "carkit" (maybe we should call it home(y)kit ) which receives …
  • tunf said: Now that on the apps site there is also a list of supported hardware (many thanks, hopefully a start not the final list), i'm wondering for woonveilig, is the central still needed or will sensors etc. be able to connect to the homey …
  • @mruiter that's really nice of you. Pulling for the team. I really appreciate that.  For me (now that I think of it) there would be a workaround, because I have an android tablet that's permanently mounted as a IP Cam screen, so I could run the fli…

  • Jacob said: Unfortunaterly I'm no programmer either. However I have managed to add several mysensors IO to my vera3. I believe if somebody programs a my sensors gateway for Homey it will bring a connection to a huge amount of home information a…
  • I've tried some Arduino stuff in the past, and writing code is really not my strong suite. I've never actually created anything off that site, but I absolutely LOVE the idea, and I really like that site. Hoping to pull myself together and actually c…

  • I have a few, Customs added one month to shipping for me in the CZ. Nevertheless, I have a few set up, and a few sitting there waiting. If only I could pair them with Homey, would be great. Still not fond of a 433mhz ugly doorbell

  • woei said: I use an iOS app, "Buy me a pie" which has a syncronize function for shopping lists. Would be great if it would be something like this. That way, i can sync the shoppinglist with Homey, myself and the GF. I also use iOS Remind…
  • Fire69 said: As far as I know, you can't poll battery powered devices, so you don't have to worry about draining the batteries with polling. What about devices powered by mains? Is there a way to detect they are being jammed? Not too su…
  • Pete said: Official announcement: http://www.wi-fi.org/discover-wi-fi/wi-fi-halow I think this will have the same response as HomeKit questions..... Definitely not retrofitted, maybe possibly in a Homey v2... Homeys are already shipping,…
  • Stefan said: I have a call with them this week for getting access to their official API. It all depends on the Business Case that they perceive with Homey. I'll do my best Good luck!  
  • You're right, not the nicest presentation, but it does give inspiration! thanks!
  • I think you guys who are interested can look at this topic, there seems to be a bit more vivid discussion there.

  • @jovink  Yeah, I know what you mean. iOS background apps have to be running, I find that a bit annoying sometimes because I like to keep things clean and several times a day I close all running apps... With the 'danger'; I guess that's the same with…
