I realise that updating apps is always a catch up process but the Aeotec app appears to currently not support the new Aeotec Smart Boost timer switch. This is a switch specifically for controlling immersion heaters as used with hot water tanks. This appears to be a unique product as I have not seen any other makes that can do this. Whilst this product does seem to be available via resellers and I include a link to Amazon below it is ironically not listed on the product pages of Aeotec’s own website. See - [https://www.amazon.co.uk/Aeotec-ZWA006-C-SmartStart-Monitor-Battery/dp/B07PHSXMBP](https://www.amazon.co.uk/Aeotec-ZWA006-C-SmartStart-Monitor-Battery/dp/B07PHSXMBP) ---

@RoyWissenburg There is already what appears to be an official Aeotec App for Homey. As per - > **[Aeotec](https://homey.app/en-gb/app/com.aeotec/Aeotec/)** > > Intelligent automation. This app already supports many but not all Aeotec devices. Your suggestion would be to request an entire new app be written just to support the one device I have requested. This risks multiple different apps for the same brand being created which is not sensible and would also waste memory and other limited resources in a customer’s Homey hub. Having done further searching I see that there is a github repo for the Aeotec app and that it _used_ to be the case that requests for new/additional Aeotec devices were done via posting Issues to that Github repo which in my opinion was a highly sensible approach but sadly no longer possible as the Issues tab has been removed from that repo. For the benefit of others the github repo is here - [https://github.com/athombv/com.aeotec](https://github.com/athombv/com.aeotec) Bizarrely Aeotec’s own website does not list the Smart Boost Timer on their product pages even though it _is_ on sale and shipping. It is however listed along with highly detailed information on their support pages here - > **[Smart Boost Timer Switch (ZWA006)](https://aeotec.freshdesk.com/support/solutions/folders/6000233826)** ---

Well, now it is supported, but values on show «unknown last value», so blank in the device page. edit: Fixed when repaired! Another point, do not really see the difference from standard switch, they actually do the same if you set a delay on a standard switch (turn off after 3 mins). Miss a few action cards on the smart timer! Nothing is counting down, except a setting in the device settings, you can set auto off timer, which does not really work. So, do not see the point with this “timer” switch, its basically an on/off switch.
