Thomas Ekdahls ramblings about the smarthouse joys and frustrations
Smarthouse Problems
Homey does not log who is changing state of devices. Impossible to debug in a professional way. I have thermostats turned on and off at random, lights on and off at random, and have no way of finding out what is responsible for turning it off without proper logging
Directly on the device?
A Homey Flow?
A Homey App?
Tibber?
Google Nest Hub
The kids or other people visiting me?
Homey does not support if tests as you would expect. The first part of the if has to be true for the second to be evaluated
Turning on lights based on sensors can take a frustrating long time
Homey and Google Nest Hub integrates pretty good – But Google (Voice) Assistant always gives the error message Homey is not available right now, even when the command is executed perfectly. Just annoying.
