Top 10 Hidden Features on Homey

[@geiraasen1980mobil_bruk]

Having trouble with the connection of my homey pro when im not connected on the same network. Any setting that might be wrong? or anything else i should try?

[@sorinsunea4564]

Hola, que tal? Los dispozitivos wifi se conectan via wifi directamente al Hub Homey Pro, o a traves del router? Si se conecta al Hub, cuantos dispozitivos soporta simultaneamente? Gracias!

What's plugged in is only availible in the app, not on web. Why is it so limited to such a short list of devices? E.g. I can't select Bicycle? Or a computer.

Hi Alex My brother from another mother !

Hey, the most handsome & sweet Danish KZbinr, thanks for stopping by and enjoying the video. 😛 We've had similar requests from other Homey users, but right now it's not a feasible addition, as Homey Bridge and Homey Pro are really built as 2 separate systems. In theory, with Mesh Networks, you wouldn't need an additional Homey Bridge in your house... But never say never, it's something we may be looking into. ;)

i can't find the confirmation flowcard on my homey pro 23

[@ritaghost758]

Hi ! Very interesting. I'm trying to find an answer, so I'm asking on the last video. I've seen I'm not the only one waiting for Homey announcment to move from another system (just because moving is long and we want the more bulletproof system). Is there a plan for Matter compatibility ?

[@homey]

Hey Rita, we are keeping a close eye on the development of Matter. Since even Matter is delaying their own releases, we are waiting on some more concrete information before making an official statement on this.

[@ritaghost758]

@@homey Hi !! Thanks for you answer ! I was starting to use HA but Homey seems way easier. I'm gonna wait a bit more for news. See you !

[@homey]

@@ritaghost758 - that's the idea with Homey. Same number of great integrations, but a much more intuitive (less programming based) interface and user experience. :)

Some notes and requests. Hidden Feature 2/10 "Homey App Page": Not all flow cards are always shown. Are these "Hidden Feature Flow Cards"? Hidden Feature 4/10 "Custom Device Icons": Could you please add more icons? It would be ideal if it would be possible to add own icons. Hidden Feature 7/10 "Timeline Notifications": Not all devices have a timeline, e.g. blinds. Could you please add the timeline for blinds? Hidden Feature 10/10 "Guest Management With Flows": In general, it would be a great benefit to be able to give certain people only certain devices, whether for guests or people from the own household. Please make sure to add this!

[@homey]

Hey Dirk, thanks for the detailed feedback! I'll share this with the team as user suggestions. For the Flows on the App page, only the unique Flow cards for that device will show up, so the standard 'auto-generated' Flow cards that come as standard with most devices aren't visible. So it is possible you'll get more Flow cards with the device, but the ones are the page are unique to the device itself. If that makes sense. :P

Thanks for the great tips and tricks video Alex! One of the most basic and useful trick for me is making buttons (without double tap or long press option) multifunctional. I use "if function" for example lights. First press turn on lamp 1, second press (and lamp 1 is turned on) turn on lamp 2, third press (and lamp 2 is turned on) turn on lamp 3,... Last command is usually (if the last lamp is turned on) turn off all lamps. It's very basic and not even trick but very useful 🤗

[@homey]

Hey Mika, thanks for your positivity! :) Indeed, And... 'OR' and Then... 'ELSE' Flow options are great hidden Flow features I didn't cover. Thanks for a new video idea! (That's what you mean, right? - could you share your Flows with me, so I can understand how you're using it.)

[@mika.koponen]

@@homey Yes, it was a new video idea! I think this could be cool idea to share because it works for any buttons regardless of brands. I sent you message through Homey's info. There is more details of this idea, and screenshots of my flows 😊

[@homey]

@@mika.koponen Got your email! Thanks for sharing, i'll make sure to try these out myself soon. It's a good Flow concept & a good use of the 'if' functions.

[@wes1642]

More important question is homey pro gonna work with Matter ??

[@RepairGuyDK]

It don't Matter..... Hahah 😝

[@TarekElRaey]

Amazing Video for an amazing Product. I have to admit that i am really impressed. I am managing my Aqara devices with the nest Thermostats and integrating with Google Home which was never possible before. I will go and get Homey bridge to extend my network in satellite mode

[@TeunHam]

Push Notification is broken. When will it be fixed?

[@homey]

Hey Teun, have you reached out to our support team about the issue? Usually this issue has a lot of dependencies, type of phone, OS version, App settings etc. It would be great to make a support ticket, so we can help problem solve. Head to ⇾ support.homey.app/hc/en-us/requests/new - Thanks in advance.

[@mikaelkorpela]

You folks should consider declaring quiet no-talking time in the office while you're recording... 😅

[@homey]

Hey Mikael, yeah, apologies for the background noise. I was so used to a peaceful office the last few years that I got caught off when suddenly most of the team were around on my film day. Next time i'll tell 'em to be quiet :P

[@giovannivanhaaren9885]

Would be great if somehow a Google Home/Assistant audio conformation would be possible. Starting a Google routine through Homey would be great, but that's something from the Google side..

[@homey]

Hey Giovanni, unfortunately due to API limitations on Google's side, we can't send a text to speech command back to Google to offer confirmation 😞. However, if you have Sonos speakers, you can use the 'Say text at volume' Flow card in your Flow to have an audio confirmation via your Sonos. [homey.app/a/com.sonos/]

[@ellenvandenakkerveken2111]

Hartstikke goed gedaan, maar kunnen jullie ook filmpjes maken in het Nederland, ik heb speciaal voor een Nederlands product gekozen.

[@homey]

Hey Ellen, bedankt voor de feedback. Since Homey is sold internationally and translated into many languages, we choose to use English as our main language to make this understandable for as many users / viewers as possible.

[@wietsenieuwland]

Homey Cornelissen heeft een hoop filmpjes gemaakt in het Nederlands, wellicht is dit wat voor jou?

[@amshaq007CR7]
