Hi Stephan thanks for building this app! Couple days ago i stumbled across your post and thought i’d give it a try with my 5 hema led candles (non-rechargeable) and they are working fine with this app too. Only thing i noticed is that tapping the tealight via devices pane only sends a power on signal, and doesnt toggle power on/off. Would be great if the app can toggle availability of the device and on/off command of the candle as if you have hidden the physical remote. But hey i can work around that myself too :slight_smile:

Hi Famod, thanks for trying the app and for the feedback — really appreciate it!

I actually made the app intentionally stateless for now. I noticed that the candle status can sometimes be out of sync with reality, which could make things confusing in Homey (app says “on” while the candle is actually off, or the other way around). Since the app and the candles can easily drift out of sync, this felt like the safest option at the moment.

Because this is my very first Homey app, I’m still figuring out what’s the smartest and most “Homey-way” to handle things like this — so feedback is super helpful.

I’m also very curious which exact HEMA candles you tested. Were these the non-rechargeable ones with model number 25510040 by any chance? If so, I can add them as officially supported as well.

Hi Stephan, thanks for getting back. I’m new to homey too, so can’t guide on ‘the homey way’ lol. I have led candles (all are working) with the following hema artikel nummers:

  • 13550123
  • 13550124
  • 13550125
  • 13550129
  • 13550134

Haha, that’s an impressive candle collection — you must be a very gezellig person.

I just pushed an update (0.1.2) that fixes the toggle issue. It’s live as a test version and already under review (usually pretty quick). Small warning though: you might need to remove and re-add your candles — I skipped the migration part.

Thanks again for the feedback and the article numbers! Let me know how it goes.

Hi. I have tryed your app with Deluxe lights. Is it possible to change on and off? When i push off they turn on. But the timers works correctly.
